Been almost two years, two good PF years and now he's in the shadows.
 
Will he stay, will he go?

Have you tried huffing apple cider vinegar (Heinz only) for the shadows? Works for me on the low level stuff. Have not yet tried rubbing it on my bodyl  The spouse goes, "Eeewww."
 
Hope you are not headed for the nasties.

We're on your side Don. Linda says to try the circulatory technique when not getting too badly hit. You can concentrate then. Once it works, you'll always give it a shot. You have to keep at it until it works. If you give up in the middle of the attack, it's useless. It's worth it though. Good luck.  
 
Dr. Wright's Circulatory Technique
 
This is not transcendental meditation, imagery, relaxation, or anything psychic. It's entirely physical and takes a lot of work and concentration. Give this method a good workout. It’s not a miracle, but it’s been helpful to many.
 
When I was diagnosed, my neurologist said to treat this as a vascular problem. I was told to concentrate on “redirecting” blood circulation in order to retard flow to the head.  This is done by trying to “send” blood into the arms and hands or other extremities. When properly done, your hands will become warm and redder with increased circulation. I also found it easier to concentrate on one hand.  
 
This relieves just slightly, the pressure on the affected vessel, which indirectly causes our pain. We all have this ability but it can be exhausting. I was often able shorten my attacks from about half an hour to no more than a few minutes. Sometimes, when awake, I could entirely abort the attack IF I KEPT AT IT. Often, I would suffer only minor discomfort instead of excruciating pain. Do not stop just because your hands are warm or redder. Keep this up until you are sure it's subsided.  If you let up or lose concentration, it’s very hard to restart this process.  It may take some time but when this works, the relief is almost immediate.  
 
I learned this from the doctor in a few minutes. He simply told me to try to keep blood away from the head. He thought it easiest to concentrate on the arms and hands but any place that works for you is fine. He said to think of it as "filling your hands" with redirected blood.  It’s important to keep at it THROUGH the pain. This will be difficult, but it’s the only way this technique will work. Don’t let up until you are sure the attack has ended.  
 
This will not always work, but I think it will always have at least some effect on the severity and duration of the attacks. It can be useful between medications or while waiting for some other drug to take effect. All it takes is a little practice. It was fairly easy to learn and what I'm writing here is more than I got from the doctor, as I've drawn from my own experience.
 
When awakened in horrible pain, it’s very hard to focus, but I think it’s always worth a try. This costs nothing but hard work, is harmless, non-invasive, and it gives us a fighting chance.  
 
I wish you the best of luck - Charlie Strand

Hopefully you get off as lucky as I did.    Yesterday I was really worried about an 'early' cycle, but got some fungi last night and kicked the shit outta the bastard before he could get started.    Feel like 1,000,000% this morning.
 
good luck,

Hope it's just a weird blip, and he'll go back into the shadows.  
 
Would it help if all the ladies on the board took turns stalking you.....might distract you somewhat.   Wink ;D  But, if we're going to do this, you can't bathe in vinegar.

Got my fingers and toes crossed for you and I hope you're armed and ready to take him out if he should dare show...  
 
If he doesn't then would you still like to be stalked?

I could use a good stalking.
I'm shakin' in my boots already for what will hit on Friday.  The attacks in this episode wait until I get off of work and try to relax.   I was in tears this morning just THINKING of what is coming...

The worst part is that I come into work on Monday or whenever and I'm not rested.  everybody's ready to go, and I might as well be hungover.  I just hold my breath and know it'll be over in a few weeks, for now.
Thanks for listening Mia

It all makes sense. The last 6 or so minths have been extremely stressful. The stress from all that is starting to dissipate. I'm prime hunting ground for the beast right now.
 
Thanks for all the good vibes and phone calls. The beast is still being held at bay. I think you all scared him.
