Title: Option to Break a Cyle
Post by don on Nov 8^th, 2002, 6:47am

My last cycle was over 5 mos. long. 3-6 a day all kip 8-10s. The only guy more frustrated than me was my neuro. Finally he hospitalized me. Jufor 2 days.

I was given an IV drip of DHE and benedryl. Broke the cycle. I have been basically PF for about a year now.

Thats great! Did you ever have that long of a period that you were PF/HA free? After 5 years I thought mine were over and then they showed up again??
Oh well-I am still better off than many here... :) :) :)

Don,
I'm so happy to hear you are PF for so long...that's fantastic!
I had asked about the DHE drip in another thread and got a few responses- didn't hear too many positive things about the experience. The results were also minimal it seems. But, as it is, everyone is different......whatever works!
