Title: It's back
Post by BillK on May 11^th, 2003, 7:53am

The beast is back >:( Gone two years, but back full force. An hour twice a day; one at work, the other when I should be asleep. It's been two weeks now, my new boss is educated now so he leaves me alone; my wife's initial panic is over so she can now go to work without worrying about leaving me alone at home on weekends. She's a nurse on a post-surgical floor, experienced in pain-control, and the beast bothers her almost as much as it hurts me.

I've got my fingers crossed that this cycle is only 6 weeks long like the last two times. As bad as it is, I'm thankful I'm not chronic. And thanks to all for the upbeat posts I see here! The non-PF days are easier to take when you can a moment to laugh.

What are you using to abort the attack??

All I'm using at the moment is hydrocodone 5s and coffee. Each attack lasts about an hour, then another hour to recover some energy. Each attack hits about Kip 7 or 8. I've found that if I try to abort, I end up with a Kip 2 that lasts until the next attack.
