Hi guys,
I myself am pretty darn new around here (About two or three weeks or so, can't remember). Finding this site was also a very moving experience for me.
I hope that you two will not be shy in posting here on the board. I know I'm not (Everyone groans around the world :). Please read the links on the left side of the web page, as well as the posts themselves, for much information which may help you.
I hope that Greg got some help from the neurologist. He can probably save himself a lot of money, pain and time by availing himself of all the CH information provided on this great site. All of that info represents the time, pain and money spent by fellow CH'ers who have been battling the beast already and it can be invaluable to know some of it.
Anyway, I hope that Greg is doing better and that you will realize that just by being there, you can help him tremendously. It is worth more than words can say to have 'a supporter' by your side throughout.
Greg is not crazy, he's just in tremendous pain. And he's not losing it either. You have already made the first big steps. I too thought I must be having an anneurism or maybe a brain tumor or something. I remember how that was. From what I recall, CH's do not cause physical damage to the brain or anything like that. They just hurt real real bad and kind of drive you nuts. Greg is going to be ok and your family is going to be ok. You guys just stick together, keep heart and move forward from this point.
I wish both of you all the best and Greg many many PFD's. Smile some, it's fun.
Love, Michael B
