DJ the man who created this wonderful site is in his cluster cycle at this time. I think he needs some cheering up. Thought it would be nice if we all let him know how much we love him and clusterheadaches.com! It is time we give back to him! Post and tell him what this site means to you. He has a great sense of humor so
You can also fun with him a little! I will start it off!
Dear DJ,
I came to this site scared and felt so alone. No one knew the pain I felt, there was never anyone to talk to about the pain, depression, and the anger. I spent 19 years like that, alone with the pain. Then I found this site. I found people who understood what having clusters could do to a person. When I was leaning to far over the cleft there was someone to pull me back. Here I found medication that has helped me so much took me from 8 clusters a day to 4 a week! I feel like I am in heaven. I have a life again. I have learned how to cope with the CHs. This site has been everything to me.
One of the happiest days of my life was the day I met you in person. You will always be the one who saved my life! I would be dead had it not been for you building this site! You not only were there for me when I had clusters but one day I will never forget. I received the news, I had breast and lung cancer! You called me that day. I was home alone and I was so scared and I cried, you stayed on the phone with me till I was OK. That was so nice that is something I never will forget.
Then we met again in New York at Amanda’s. There you had to sleep on the sofa! You Poor man! You had two women having clusters you had to take care of us both. Then I became very sick . My cough became very bad, you and Amanda took good care of me. Kept me laughing! The last time I saw you I was looking out the back of the car window on the way to the airport, I never thought I would see you again. I thought I was saying good bye to two dear friends for the last time. I cried all the way to the airport. I remember before I went in the hospital we had a icq going away party LOL you were there it was cool there were so many there. I talked to you when I came home from the hospital you were happy I made it. You were even good to me when I had a major brain fart as Bob P would call it and stayed my dear friend. Yes DJ you are special you are the man! You have done so much for so many people in so many ways. You have a heart that is pure as gold! I am proud to be able to say you are my friend.
