So,I ended my usual cycle 8wks ago and for past 14yrs my cycles would be 18 months apart pf to pf. a couple wks ago started sporadic hits which is not uncommon for me I will generally get random hits and shadows out of cycle...but now I'm right back into a cycle and its kinda scary not knowing if I'm now chronic...I'm up to 4+hits with my first nocturnal hit 2 days ago so I'm just looking for some input. Is this how other chronics start? I will be "busting" this cycle soon it worked last time also wondering if that has something to do with cycling so soon.....Thanks..PFDAN to alll....Chris

Hey Chris. Don't worry about becoming chronic, it's a waste of good energy. By definition, chronic is one year without 30 consecutive days break. It's pretty normal for things to change. Busting will also change things a bit. Just treat this cycle as you would any other. You may want to start some maintenace doses between cycles. Busting works better as a prevent, and it's harder to bust a cycle than prevent one.  Hang in there and good luck!
pf wishes, nani

Nani's right. The longest episode I ever had was 16 months. Was I chronic? Didn't care I was more interested in when would it stop. This was when I determined that all the meds in the world will not stop the demon. This is what also sent me to clusterbusters.
Not that it will cure all either. It fails as well, but it is one nice BIG hammer in the cluster toolbox. Demon hates it. Grin. In hindsight yes I was chronic techically. I prefer to think I had one hell of an episode. To me chronic is years on years of true living hell.
all the best, get on with the business of kicking demon butt.

This might sound like an echo of the previous posts.....but worry is the beasts biggest, nastiest weapon. My current meds work great, they may stop working, oxygen may not stop him next time, I might go from  episodic to chronic, all of that may happen whether or not I worry Abot it. You'll hear it said a lot on this board, live your life between the hits.
 
The only constants are the unpredictability of the beast, and your friends on the board! Hang in there, don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff......or something like that!!!
