Title: Need answers on headaches Post by cbolony on May 7th, 2003, 8:14am OK need some answers on my after my cycle headaches. When my cycle ends I still get low kip headaches on my left side in the eye,temple,back of my head. These headaches come and go all day long. I had 3 cycles since June and in between cycle I get these headaches. Does anybody know what these headaches are. Went for brain scan everything is good. |

Title: Re: Need answers on headaches Post by Joanie on May 7th, 2003, 8:33am Hi Cbolony, I generally get very low kip headaches after my cycle "ends". (The beast is leaving, but not without a fight!) However, that only lasts for about a month or two and then I'm completely pain free. Sorry I couldn't be of more help..... Joanie |

Title: Re: Need answers on headaches Post by BobG on May 7th, 2003, 8:33am They're called shadows. Very common. This is the first year in the last 5 that I haven't had daily shadows from February to April/May. But then, I never been this old either. Maybe I've out-lived them. |

Title: Re: Need answers on headaches Post by Miklos on May 7th, 2003, 9:05am I only have the problem you describe when I go cold turkey on the Eskalith and Calan SR. If I taper off the meds correctly, I get very few shadows. Which is where I am now. Yippee!! |

Title: Re: Need answers on headaches Post by brain_cramps on May 7th, 2003, 11:23am For about 20 years, whenever my cycle would end, they'd be gone completely. After this last cycle, I have had shadows (all really low-kip --- almost insignifcant) off and on since Oct. I'm not worried about it as long as I'm not in pain or getting woken up in the middle of the night. ;) PFDAN, grant 8) P.S. Thanks Arby!!! ROTF LMAO!!! Guess that's what the preview button is for! ;D ;D ;D |

Title: Re: Need answers on headaches Post by eyes_afire on May 7th, 2003, 6:32pm Hi Cbolony. I don't think your situation is that uncommon. I have had shadows since Sept 2001. Full blown CH cycle except for Oct 2002 through March 2003. Now full blown CH cycle again. |

Title: Re: Need answers on headaches Post by Mark C on May 7th, 2003, 6:55pm Up untill the end (?) of my last cycle shadows left with the beast. My LAST cycle was longer and much more severe than any cycle I had had in over ten years, and I get hit once or twice a year. I have been having shadows and even some CPH stlye "jabs" daily since the last cycle. I used to PF between cycles, now I'm not. It's nothing like a full blown blaster, except those "jabs" so for the most part I am OK....it's just the mental part of having the beast hover, or "stalk" as Don put it. It's like I could ramp up to a K10 in a matter of minutes. In the past I always experienced shadows sometimes months BEFORE an attack so I know when they are coming...now it's like they never left. :-/ I am on an O2 campaign now anyway. I will have it by the fall...one way or the other. I am in industrial supply so we have accounts with many vendors, including welding shops! I have asked my Neuro twice in the last year for it....I get some new pill instead....last time it was Topamax.. :P I will give him one more chance ::) Good Thread CB, Mark-who-likes-pam-coots-posts-and-slammy-posts-too! ;D |
