Back after 4 years!!!!!

In my 20's, the CH's came every year.  In my 30's, they started to skip a year in between.  I'm now 42, and the gap was 4 years!!!  I thought they were over.  Then, 3 nights ago, they came calling.  Have had about 8 hours sleep since then.  Damn!  I hate these things.  Anyway, just checking in to a wonderful group that I was hoping I'd never talk to again.
 
Imitrex is my savior, but my dr. wants $300 because it's been so long since he's seen me!  I'm getting longer between cycles, and I get punished for it!!  Hopefully, I can afford the $300 next week.
 
Well, hello all.  You'll be seeing me around for a while now, I'm afraid.

I've never heard of a doctor charging you more because you haven't seen him.  I would think you were doing things right if you didn't need to see your doc!
Sorry to hear the demon has come calling again.  Do you take any preventatives?

Welcome, Neil.
 
That's a pretty good scam your doctor has going.  Maybe I should send him a bill for $1000, because I've never seen him at all.
 
Sounds like your pattern is similar to my own--I'm 52, and have been episodic since 1966.  For the first twenty years, I cycled twice a year.  For ten, I cycled once a year.  My last three have been 3 years apart.  Not over, but a hopeful sign (I hope).
 
Sorry you're getting hit again, but welcome back.
 
Best wishes,
 
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
