Weather there is a Nathan or not is irevenlent. I have a desease called cluster headaches. I am chronic. Every day I wake up and wish I were dead. I have thought of many ways to kill myself over the years. I think of suicide daily. I just want the pain to stop. My family and friends know this. My drs know this. I have tried almost all the medications posible and am on a high dose of antidepressent. I see very little hope in the future for me of ever having a pain free day. I am so tired of fighting the pain. I found out recently my sister in law was just diagnosed with this god forsaken illness. I cried for her. We talked at Christmas time. She has been having headaches daily like clockwork since Oct. She still doesn't know if she is eposodic or chronic. I think there is a part of "Nathan" in all of us. We just need to motivate, organize, and get the word out as we have been doing through OUCH and indivudually at local levels.
