Title: all good things must come to an end
Post by ken_b on Sep 24^th, 2002, 3:04am

As the saying goes all good thing's must come to an end! been about 15 month's pain free time but it looks like the beast is back. been hit two times in the last 12 hour's. i still have to be thankfull for the pain free time i did have! a whole lot better than a lot of you here ever have. will be calling up my nero in the morning. time to stock pile med's up if i can lol. still wishing everyone pain free time. i hate the imitrex hangover lmao.

well well well

36 posts yet you,ve been pain free for 15 months.
does this mean that despite not being in pain that you've been here to contribute , help and support ?

Then you've just made the starting line up on my team of Cluster Crushers. Hang in there and kick the beasts ass ! Beast hates Imitrex!

I've been episodic for 26 years. I have had times when I'm hit a few times and then nothing. Hope this is one of those times for you.

Paul, hope it is a short visit the beast pays you. None of us deserve this pain.

I appreciate your quiet, PM, chat, phone call support. It takes all kinds of us to make the board go round, and round, and round.

unlike losers like me who never gotten a star for anything he has done in his life. We resort to posting idle, mindless posts to earn the only "stars" we will ever get in our life! I live for my stars! I'm in the Hall of Fame and no one can take that away from me! ;D

Slammy, slammy, slammy ... you too have supported me so why would you ever think you need a star. You already are one !!!!! At least in my eyes. And it ain't for your number of posts ... now let them all think what they will about what you did for me. Smiling once again, Nancy McFree

Sorry to hear Ken, but can I call you Paul? 8) Maybe if we call you by another name the beast might misplace your CH!

Sounds like you guys are oldies at this. Hi. I just have a question, my loved one has tried everything, we went to the hospital a few weeks ago and found oxygen takes his monster away after about ten minutes, I dont want false hope, is it going to work forever like I wish it would or will this be like the pills? Works for a short period and then the monsters come back ten fold? please help.........................And any suggestions to what I can be doing other than the supports on this site, let me know. =) THKS

Sket,

If 02 works for him that fast that is great sign, make sure you have a non-rebreather mask and a regulator that goes to at least 12 lpm.

Stick around and we will get the beast off your loved one the best we can.

Oldies?, well, Ive been chronic for 27 yrs so I guess im an old dude in that respect......LOL

thank you. i do appreciate your feedback, it helps. I am getting him o2 today. and hopefully it will help for a good long time. Im just lost, I have had people tell me its because of stress and I dont want to be the reason why he gets these, and then people have said sinuses, and all this other stuff, I just want him to feel better, but thank you. And I do hope you are ok.
