The beast keeps getting stronger

I should be at the end of my cycle - normally eight weeks. But I'm getting hit more and harder. I slept most of the weekend because I was up all night Friday and Saturday. I'm supposed to be training for a marathon right now but I keep missing my runs. I'm totally behind at work. I'm really getting tired of this.
Sorry - Just needed to vent.

If it's any consolation, mate, that's how my cycles end - with a bang and a whimper.
Hope it's the same for you and this really is the finish but rant away regardless. It's what we're here for.

I can attest to that. Just when I thought it was over, one last collosal bang before it petered out. I figured it was just showing me whose boss? Anyway, I lost the battle but the war was over.

Sorry to hear that but keep him on the run....literally, moving around might help.
Mine usually began to taper over a period of a five days or so. Fewer and fewer hits until the beast got sick of me for 5 or 6 months.
Rant away. It's encouraged.

Venting is allowed ... It is good for the soul AND well being ... Vent away ...
It may not help much, but remember, most of us have been where you are now. Remember, "This, too, shall end ..."
Hang in there buddy, we got your back!

Thank you all! Your kind words of encouragement really do mean a lot. I know the beast does try to make a big raucous toward the end. The past 24 hours have been okay, although I just got off the O2 tank. We'll see how tonight goes!
Hopefully there's a pint of Guinness at the end of this tunnel!

Hi Mary Ann! Yes, still taking the damn Topomax  I think the hits would be worse if I wasn't.
No hits last night! I woke up at 3:00 am ( not sure why) but I woke up PF! My left side felt the same as my right. I felt whole again.
Keeping my fingers crossed

Having the ole' head PF on both sides is a wonderful thing, eh? 
I just wish I knew if it was the Topamax doing its thing or not. Well worth it if it but brutally mean to us if it is not!
Here's to pfdan to you!

I too always end with a bang. I think that is common with episodics. It always scares me . I think OMG How many more weeks like this or if thenext one is this bad I am gonna buy a gun.

Never EVER be sorry for venting! That's one of the reasons we are all here, to share and not feel alone!
Hugs to you and I hope it's a sign of your cycle ending.
