Hi Marina. Going through a rough cycle wears me out. It takes a lot of effort,both physically and definately mentally/emotionally. For me, I could say IT is like working 16 hours straight-seven days a week. I often wonder if certain vitamins are depleated because of the stress and intensity of CH pain. May be I will post this possible theory. Also the meds I take can cause fatigue. Anyway, I fell spaced out, depressed and become a couch potato for a while. Yes CHs can run ya down and I feel a bit embarassed as to how I appear. My friends tell me I look rough. But a very wise man once said "What other people think of us is none of are business" People that judge us by externaly live by a very unspiritual/unprincipled life. I am no saint and I can be judgemental also, but my friends tell me that I am an unassuming. I have friends that know they can count on me, especially when a crisis ocurs. So I try to stay focused on what is good about my character and that of others also. I read your postings and I envision a very good person who gives selfessly to other folks.
From your friend, David Chalfant. Have a good day and hang with us.
