Ok, I'm reaching out....

I usually try to stay pretty quiet when I'm suffering. I just know there are a lot of people here who suffer much worse than I do.
I was doing pretty for awhile, just getting by with my daily KIP 5's & 6's. I thought maybe the verap was taking effect. But my head always gets worse when it rains! And it keeps raining here in Northern CA and I started getting hit really hard about a week ago. I've missed 2 days of work (thank God for an understanding boss) and after getting up every hour with a h/a on Sunday night, Monday I spent 3 hours in urgent care where they gave me an IV of DHE. Monday night I only got up twice but last night was bad again (it started RAINING again last night).
Any prayers are appreciated.
Thanks for letting me vent guys & gals,
Virginia

Rain doesn't seem to bother my CH, but it cause me to have a migraine. It has something to do the barometric pressure.

The only thing that I can think of is puting your A/C on at it's lowest and let it take the humidity out of your home air. You might need to get a dehumidifier.
Maybe it's the dust and pollen that the rain kicks up that's causing you to get headaches. Are you sure you don't have allergy headaches as well as clusters?
Sorry that your having a hard time...prayers on the air.

Doing the anti rain-dance for you Virginia, and sending it to Cathi in Oregon where they need more mildew and mold. 
Couldn't it be the dark gloomy skies that affects our Seratonin levels more than the rain itself? Turn on all the lights in the house and paint a sunshine face on your windows.

Pain free vibes going out to you please be well.
Here on the Oregon Coast we get a bit damp.Used to get an attack atleast twice in the evening. My wife for whatever reason bought a heppa air filter. Turned it on when we left in the morning. Since then I have attacks in the evening rarely.
It is certainly worth a try.
Ask CathiP out here on the coast we don't tan we rust.
I realy hope this works.

Hi Virginia
Sorry you are still getting no long term relief. It seems you have had this demon constantly attacking you for so long now. Glad your new boss is giving you some slack.
Praying for some relief for you.

Virginia,
I am so sorry you are getting hit. I understand your battle with the weather, as I too deal with the same thing. It has been raining here (in OK) about every other day it seems. As a result, I too have been battling. Hang in there, the weather has to clear for us soon, the sun will shine on us!
Prayers and PF vibes to ya!

Thank you all for your love & support.
I remember when I use to be episodic I would always get hit hard in December. Now that I've been chronic, things haven't changed much. The last 3 Christmas's have been a struggle for me.
After talking to several people here, my next step is most likely going to be fungus therapy.
I love you guys and would be completely lost without this board!
Love,
Virginia-in-rainy-No-CAL
