IT'S TOO SOON!

It was just a few months ago that I was asking God "When is something good going to happen to me?". Yes, I was feeling sorry for myself. I was so depressed because of the h/a's, not having a permanent job, not having insurance, being buried in bills, the usual stuff.
But things did start turning around. I've been at my new job for a little over a month and I love it! This is the kind of job and the kind of company that I have been praying to land at for a long time. I am so happy here! I found a new apartment just a mile from my job (no more hour-long commutes with tears streaming down my face during a head banger). Things were looking up! But now I'm getting HIT again! Yes, I'm chronic and a lot of my chronic days I can handle. But every few months or so I get an "episode" within my chronic days. The last one was the end of April/beginning of May and lasted for 3 weeks then I just go back to my everyday ones that are usually around a 6. It's too soon for the 10's to be back again!
And it's WAY too soon for them to hit after starting this job. I don't want to tell everyone here about these things yet. I wanted to excel at my job first and prove myself before I lay this on them. I don't want them to regret their decision to hire me. This is stressing me out! I don't have my first Dr's appt until Aug 18th (and that's just with my GP) for a physical. Maybe I should call my Dr before then and see if she can hook me up with some oxygen (don't know if she will without seeing me and she's not a neuro). Although, years ago when I was using oxygen I didn't get the same level of relief that I hear everyone else talking about.
Sorry to ramble on....just tired and MAD that the 10's are already back again. Not sure what to do..
Thanks for listening.
Virginia

But you love your job. How many people can say that?
Please try to think of the good things Virginia. you will survive this. You are so strong. They will never regret hiring you, cause you are so smart and an asset to them.
If you need anything for preventative...just ask. Linda

Listen up V, call that damn Doc and demand 02 even if you have to go in to see her......02 years ago is bullshit, I did 02 11 years ago and it did shit for me. When i rolled up in this joint they taught me how and it kills the beast 90% of the time in less than 12 mins, get your ass that 02.
You dont want to tell but you may have to, this goes against what I think but being open and honest is your best bet when it comes to your delema, theres a page around here that you can print out.....you know that.
Just to make you feel some what at home......I know what you are talking about when you say chronic cycle, I hate when the 10's ramp up for a few weeks....even I cry.
Thinking of you V

Things are sooo much better for you now, you MUST stay strong now, go get some 02, giver it a shot, like Jonny said, remember what Linda has said about how strong and smart and capable you are-remember that!!
All I can add is vibes and prayers and juju......so, please, have a PF weekend....hey I know! Think about the fun we'll have in CC.....it's coming up, y'know!
Stay strong, and let us know how you're doing....okay?

Jonny I love when you say things like this!
Ginny.... listen to the man. You make some noise and go for it, that's what insurance is good for. GET your ass that 02, talk to your doc again asap. AND... print out Simon's letter and have it ready in case you happen to need it at work. I'm not jinxing you, just be prepared. You know.
If you don't, you'll make me have to tell you more stories, and I'm runnin' outta material here - and they won't help your head either ... 
OK?
Hang in there Queeny

Hey maybe Jacks has something there and its just a random attack... that did happen to Dave last year around Christmas but he didnt get really hit til July 1st.
You keep thinking and visualizing pain free times Virginia...
Jonny has something there too... Keep trying things that didnt work in the past. Our bodies have a way of playing tricks on us and changing our tollerance to somethings changes or maybe gives in... Dave had tried 02 in the past but these guys showed him how to really abort an attack with 02 so when he can he is working on them with the 02... get some... just in case. Its like buying a raincoat and then the rain never comes... If you have the 02 maybe the cycle will never return... got my fingers and toesies crossed for you V.... love Ree

Oh Honey, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. My heart just breaks hearing your news. No, it doesn't seem fair, and it puts you in a pickle with your new job.
I don't think any of us know why we get these damn things. But when I was thinking about who I would wish them on, I realized that the answer was no one. I truly wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy. They are mine and even though I wish they weren't, I will cope one way or another. I have before--and so have you.
So remember to breathe deeply, relax your poor tight muscles, use whatever meds are helpful, and fasten your seatbelt for the bumpy ride.
Many, many folks are keeping you in their hearts and their prayers. You are not alone.
Please keep us posted.
Love,
Carla

I just got back on this board for the first time since posting this thread and MAN YOU GUYS! You are awesome! Thank you so much for the love & support & advice! You've overwhelmed me.
Your vibes & prayers are already helping...I actually slept through the night last night! I couldn't believe it. I feel a lot better today with that night of rest. I will definitely get on the phone to the DR on Monday. I hope a GP will give me a scrip for oxygen. I was planning on taking care of all this stuff when I had my physical on the 18th of this month (and getting a referral to a neuro) because I thought I still had some time on my hands until the 10's came back.
Thank you again to all those who responded. This board amazes me! 
Love,
Virginia
