things can get better

 Hi everyone. I have not been on the message board for quite some time, but I have been very buisy and I have been enjoying my nearly pain free time.
For the ons that do not know me I have been cronis since 1998. Never been PF for longer than two weeks with or without medication. Yet sice April this year although I have not been PF the pain has become bearable. I have not used Imigran since the beginning of April and have been med free since May. I still have the shedaws every day and short attacks at kip 3 everyday but this is a great relief. I used to get hit 3 to 5 times a day by kip 7 to 9 and used half a dose of imigran upto 4 tims a day depending on how bad it was.
I am strongly convinced that too much and too long usage of the medications we take are the bad doers.
I noticed when I had to stop medication because I had become immune to it that the longer I stayed med free the better my new prescription worked. When my neuro wanted me to try prednison I refused and just stayd med free as long as I could with the help of imigran and ice and then restarted my medication.
In this manner in december I started melatonin at 12mg at night after being totally med free for two excruciating months of hell. I stopt medication in April because as I mentiond above things were going good. The speach and memory problems as wel as the tyerdness and heavy sweting at night that I used to have while taking Verampamiel are things of the past. I feel great even tough I definitly am not PF and my eye stil swels amd hangs and my nose gets stuffy or starts running. Maby I am growing to old to be a clusterhead.  . I wish everyone better days preferably.
regards Joke

There is a break in reality. Do not adjust your mind.
