Stupid things you've done with CH.

So this Thanksgiving my wife and I went to see her family in Indiana. Due to us both being in cycle, having the kids with us, and everybody sleeping at her aunt's house. We decided to rent a hotel room in order to not disturb everybody thoughout the night with our "dancing". At 2:00am I got hit, started using 4Way to abort it. (see meds board) Due to all of the nasal discharge, I had a mess of tissue on the floor. After the hit was over, I scooped up all of the tissue and flushed them down the toilet. When I got up again at 6:00 (with another hit) did the same thing. So around 8:00 when we were getting ready to leave, I come out of the shower and notice that I only have one sock, I turned the room upside down, but to no avail. The only thing I can surmise is that I flushed it down the toilet at some time.

In a desparate search for relief of CH, 20 years ago, I went to a pain management clinic in Columbus. The "Dr" convinced me to get a lidocaine infusion. Not only is this dangerous, it was totally ineffective. The doctor was later put out of business by the IRS for tax evasion!!
The name of the doctor is available via PM if anyone is interested!

Before I joined the board, I put 50mg crushed imitrex tablet in an oz of brandy, and was trying to get it into my system faster - It did not work.

Walking around a little German village in the middle of the night, intoxicated, repeatedly placing my face into freshly fallen snow on the walls around people's yards until I couldn't stand it, then walking a another few houses and doing it again. I can't imagine what all the facial impressions must have looked like the next morning.

More than I care to remember, but:
1. Standing with my head in the freezer.
2. out of 02, had someone drive me around and around the block in the dead of winter so I could stick my head out the window for the air. Kind of like dogs do.
3. Banging my head(on purpose) into the corner of a hard object instead of directly straight on.
4. while in a restaurant, going into their bathroom instead of out to my car when I was getting hit. The cops were called.

Once, when I was eighteen, I sat--or writhed, rather--in a sun-heated car for an hour. In August.
Must have been 140 in there.
You know how it is--try anything. I guess I thought breathing heated air and goading myself to sweat even more than I usually do during a hit might "burn" it out of me, or "sweat out the poison".
That was back in the days when I was convinced that I was being "poisoned" during CH attacks, and that the attacks "neutralized" the "poison". Somehow. And then they'd go away, until the next time.
(When you're a kid, and on your own with this, you end up believing a lot of strange things about CH. )
I got dehydrated, but that's about it.
Doesn't work. Trust me.
Best,
George

Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Thought of one more. During a kip 10 I banged my head on the wall so hard, I knew I gave myself a regular headache on top of the ch. Chewed up two Excedrin.

My first CH arrived when I was 13 years old.
The aspirin that I took was not working so I though I would try some Ben Gay lotion to try to ease the pain...(I know, stupid idea  ) When you are desperate for pain relief you will try anything.
I used the entire tube of that crap on my head and not only did it do nothing to relieve the pain but I smelled like a locker room and looked like hell. Took days to wash that smell outta my hair.
I have also done the head hanging out of the passenger side window of a car.
New Year's Eve party at a friend's house about 3 years ago the beast came to visit. I escaped to the bathroom on the second floor to try to tame the beast...no luck. To top it off, while I was getting hit, some girl was trying to sing along with the band....I swore it was Yoko Ono.
The hostess of the party found me, ran and got John and they poured me into his car so he could get me home ASAP.
It was about 20 degrees outside and there we were....John speeding down I-95 and me hanging 1/2 way out of the car. Was really lucky I wasn't decapitated by another car.
Took hours to get all of the knots out of my hair....sheesh.

The more clear and present danger with that is having your coronary arteries clamp so far shut that your heart muscle is starved (i.e., a heart attack).
You're probably lucky you puked.

I don't think this qualifies as stupid.....just funny. While at the OUCH conference in Richmond I felt one coming on in the meeting room. I quickly grabbed my O2 tank, ducked in to the nearest bathroom, and headed for a stall. The O2 worked it's magic and stepped from the stall to the stares of several businessmen who I assume thought Darth Vader had been occupying the last stall. I just smiled and walked out.

anyone who's been on topey can give you an arms length list of stupid stuff!
Me? nearly burned the house down cuz I forgot that I put an empty pan on the stove and turned it on. But the best (worst) was sitting in my car completely unable to get out of the seat- I couldn't figure out how to unlatch the seat belt.

Quote: Why my WINKY ?? ?? - Updated
« on: Jun 23rd, 2005, 10:08am » Quote Modify
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------
Ok, I know this is a caring and compassionate group, and we can relate things without any snide, or uncalled for remarks. RIGHT ?? ?? I know Drummer posted of his, somewhat similar, unfortunate experience, a long time ago. He spoke of needing a safety kit, to protect himself. He may be right.
As you all know, I get hit fairly often. Many times, if I am downstairs in the living room, and there are visitors here, when I get hit, I grab my oxygen mask and then run into the half bath with it, so I can be in privacy. Many times I sit on the throne and bounce and rock around. In doing this, I cracked and broke the toilet seat, in the front, so that there is a split, and with pressure, it opens up. I have been meaning to replace that seat. I AM GOING TO DO THAT TODAY !! !! !!
WELL, let me relate what happened today. A co-worker stopped by to see how I am doing, as I have missed so much work, of late. I just had on a pair of gym shorts, as I had not gotten dressed yet. Naturally, the beast made a call. I turned on the oxygen, grabbed my mask and made a bee line for the bathroom. While in there, I felt I had another bodily function to do, so I dropped my drawers and sat down. I did what I had to do, but continued to sit there, rocking, while dealing with the beast.
While rocking, I slid forward on the seat, the gap opened up, and YUP, my dangling “best part” got into that gap, and when I rocked, it pinched it, HARD !! !! !! Well, I jumped up, screaming, and when I lifted my weight off the seat, the gap closed completely, with a VERY important part of me still in it! When I jumped up, and the gap closed, the seat proceeded to rip a hunk of skin on my poor ole winky. I started to jump around holding my injured part, and proceeded to trip on my shorts, that were at my ankles. That caused me to fall into the door, causing it to fly open, smashing my nose, and falling out into the kitchen.
So there I am, rolling, naked, on the floor, screaming, with one hand on my groin, covered in blood, the other hand on my nose, also covered in blood, with my co-worker staring in absolute horror at me, trying VERY hard not to laugh, not knowing what to do, as he has been warned, DO NOT GO NEAR ME, OR TOUCH ME when I am getting hit !! !! !!
I think my winky is out of commission for a while ... Like it makes a difference ...
The good thing is, during this process, the beast left. The problem is, do I think I could repeat this procedure several times a day, to kill a hit? Hmm mm mm ... I am not sure I want to try it again.
Where is that safety kit?
Chuck
