Hell is here. 
I guess I should be glad for the past couple of months. Although I've been getting shadows daily, my last actual CH was in October. Until this weekend. I'm afraid they're back. 2 nights in a row waking up at 4:40am, pulling myself out of horrible nightmares and into horrible reality of CH... wimpering at the O2 tank and trying to make deals with every deity imaginable. I hate this shit. Historically, February and March are my worst months so I knew I was living on borrowed time.
I'm sorry folks, I just had to vent. I can't think straight right now and its taking me forfuckingever to write this.

Eyes, I'm so sorry this has hit. Wish there was something I could do to make it better. Maybe since it waited late to hit, it will be a short trip for you.
Thinking about you and wishing you PFDAN,

Man Eyes, sorry to hear it's back for you. Hey, look on the bright side, we're already almost 1/3 the way through March. Seriously, I hope that 2003 is a better year for you than 2002 was for me with the Beast. Take care & stay strong.
Later

Rats.
Damn sorry. Gotta try my system. Ya got nothing to lose.
Dr. Wright's Circulatory Technique
This is not transcendental meditation, imagery, relaxation, or anything psychic. It's entirely physical and takes a lot of work and concentration. Give this method a good workout. It’s not a miracle, but it’s been helpful to many.
When I was diagnosed, my neurologist said to treat this as a vascular problem. I was told to concentrate on “redirecting” blood circulation in order to retard flow to the head. This is done by trying to “send” blood into the arms and hands or other extremities. When properly done, your hands will become warm and redder with increased circulation. I also found it easier to concentrate on one hand.
This relieves just slightly, the pressure on the affected vessel, which indirectly causes our pain. We all have this ability but it can be exhausting. I was often able shorten my attacks from about half an hour to no more than a few minutes. Sometimes, when awake, I could entirely abort the attack IF I KEPT AT IT. Often, I would suffer only minor discomfort instead of excruciating pain. Do not stop just because your hands are warm or redder. Keep this up until you are sure it's subsided. If you let up or lose concentration, it’s very hard to restart this process. It may take some time but when this works, the relief is almost immediate.
I learned this from the doctor in a few minutes. He simply told me to try to keep blood away from the head. He thought it easiest to concentrate on the arms and hands but any place that works for you is fine. He said to think of it as "filling your hands" with redirected blood. It’s important to keep at it THROUGH the pain. This will be difficult, but it’s the only way this technique will work. Don’t let up until you are sure the attack has ended.
This will not always work, but I think it will always have at least some effect on the severity and duration of the attacks. It can be useful between medications or while waiting for some other drug to take effect. All it takes is a little practice. It was fairly easy to learn and what I'm writing here is more than I got from the doctor, as I've drawn from my own experience.
When awakened in horrible pain, it’s very hard to focus, but I think it’s always worth a try. This costs nothing but hard work, is harmless, non-invasive, and it gives us a fighting chance.
I wish you the best of luck - Charlie Strand

Thanks everyone for your support. Sorry for venting, I always find that going back into cycle is devastating. Time to pick myself up and soldier on. I hope I get rid of this. Whatever I did yesterday afternoon...
... maybe helped me avoid this morning's CH, because it didn't come this morning. I hope so. I hope it's not just another dirty beast trick to play with my mind. I have mixed feelings of hope and despair.
