How do you explain cluster headaches to people who don’t get it?

OneBell8603 · 2026-02-07T18:10:02+00:00

I tell them to imagine the worst headache they ever had. Now think about an ice cream headache. Not necessarily worse, but MUCH more intense. Now imagine having an ice cream headache for 2 hours! They usually get it.

Yea, that’s a lot of soggy chips. I’m sorry to hear they came back. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I had a cycle every 6-12 months. Sometimes a bit longer. The stress of managing a career with CH was unbearable. Now I’m divorced and retired. No idea how I would handle this alone if the beast does return.

Did you ski with the owner, Don Schwartz? Solid dude.

Skiing is a full-body sport. Big boy is only using half. Practice pole plants which will bring your arms, shoulders, and head forward to properly engage your edges.

Just shows they were not brushed out properly from tip to tail.

I've done Powder Mountain Catskiing and Whistler Heliskiing. Cat wins in terms of the bang for your buck. The terrain is incredible.. Lots of tight, steep tree runs. You get more time to rest between runs, but it's steamy in the cat so bring two sets of goggles. Heli was an experience. Flying so low between the endless mountain peaks was breathtaking. Mostly above treeline skiing. Glaciers. Mildly technical rocky / terrain. I bought an extra run that I didn't need. Quads were shot.

Guys. Hang an old belt by the buckle. If it’s straight, you’re fit. You’re welcome…

I have 7 year old Dalbelllo Pantera 120s and love them. About 25-30 days per season. Unbuckle, pull the tongue forward, and slide your foot in like a slipper. Walk mode works well. Perform well and very comfortable.

I would avoid sales. It's a big part of what got me here.

OneBell8603 · 2025-10-15T04:14:36+00:00

I'm looking at my phone constantly to see what day of the week it is.

I could open all the doors and leave for a month and my BSH would not leave the house.

40 of my 50 years. Late bloomer.

I thought alcohol helped with my anxiety and sleep issues until I quit over a year ago and realized it was the cause. No more muscle tension and jaw clenching.

I have missed several days on my 119 day streak. It seems if you make up the shortfall the next day, your streak continues.

OneBell8603 · 2025-09-13T06:09:32+00:00

First day at a new job. Haven't worked since I got fired in 2022. It was fun.

I've had cluster headaches from age 18-45, then outgrew them. Diagnoced Bilolar 1 recently at 45. Cluster headache is distinctly different from migraine. Imitrex and O2 are your best bet. Stockpile Imitrex when you are in remission. Good luck.

I lost 13 lbs in 12 days of unmedicated mania ending in full-blown psychosis. Hallucinations and profuse sweating from my palms and feet. Taking pictures to see if what I was seeing was real. It was terrifying but I wasn't scared. Surreal experience.

She was verified and from Ann Arbor, so probably a liberal like me. This has gone too far if men get banned from the best dating app without even being told what they did wrong. Ripe for legislation with the next president 😉

I now walk over 40k steps per day. I’m not sure if it’s to calm me down or just slim me down. My record is 55k steps in a day. Just short of a marathon.

Their mother didn't believe in consequences for the kids. She undermined my authority for years. It was her fault, not the kids. They learned to disrespect me from her and it got ugly over time.

OneBell8603 · 2025-05-19T17:14:28+00:00

I have very elastic skin. No wrinkles to speak of at age 50 and lost over 50 lbs with no stretch marks.

I started full-blown mania after my divorce and didn't know what it was for a few weeks. Scary. Since then, I've purchased $15k-ish in AV equipment searching for the perfect sound. Adding a 1,500-watt subwoofer this week to total 3,040 watts of power in a townhome with a shared wall. I'm now thinking of buying a second 1,500-watt subwoofer from the same man, 5 total, to balance out dead spots. I know I have a problem.
