I'm going to have to take a little break from hosting (not permanently) on this blog. I will return as soon as I am feeling better.
It would seem that after a year long remission my Cluster/Migraine headaches have returned with a vengeance and I am tired of the pain! I can't eat, can't stitch, can't read and can't sleep! I've had this problem on/off for the past 30+ years so it is nothing new but unfortunately when it happens it can be debilitating. This attack is really, really bad! I get a headache daily always on the right side of my head, always centered around my eye. You can click on this link "Cluster Headaches" if you want to know more about it too.
The only thing that works is patience (lots of painkillers) and eventually it will be gone as suddenly as it arrived (which was about a week ago with a migraine first) so looking at my history I have a few more weeks like this. When I get a bad attack it normally lasts for about a month and the headache is usually bad about 4 times per day. The pain was so bad I almost went to the ER on the weekend but I know that there is very little else that they can do for me so it's a waste of my time.
I won't be adding any new members during this time. I'll pop in once a week to see how things are going (if I can). Unless you have an urgent request, I won't be replying to any emails either. Thanks for your patience and understanding during this time :)
My heart goes out to you and I hope you begin to feel better soon. I remember days of sitting in a dark round with nothing but my thoughts until the worst of the pain passed. Mine finally went away about 2 years into menopause.
