Dear Dennis --- well said, well said. I too have the advantage of faith and I'm ever so thankful for it, both in good times and in bad. I think one of the hard things in my case is that I already had severe facial pain problems before these cluster headaches began 3 months ago, and the combination of all of these problems is really quite overwhelming at times. But as you say, I keep trying to play the hand that's been dealt to me, and I keep trying to press forward. It's just much harder than usual lately! I know cluster headaches often come in episodes, and I keep hoping that will be true for me too. It would be nice not to have to deal with this all the time. But it's been every day for over three months now and I'm beginning to fear that this could be chronic just like my other pain problems. Hopefully with faith I can get through that, even if it turns out to be the case, but it's hard to imagine from this viewpoint. anyway, thanks again for reminding me of this asset I have in my life. --- ErinBear
