Title: Unsure????(shadows both sides)
Post by E-Double on Jul 6^th, 2004, 12:19pm

Hey all,
I honestly don't know how to describe how I've been feeling.
Anyway switched from zomig to imitrex over the weekend and I "think" it is helping. Still getting hit 3-4 times a day but Shorter durations atleast yesterday and today. The only thing I know for sure between the different meds is I feel less fuzzy(although that could be from a number of variables)
I finished yesterday with my prednisone taper.

I read someones post (can't recall who but was a veteran) that said that when they were nearing the end of cycle they sometimes shadow on the otherside.
Since this cycle is completely different than anything I've experienced throughout the years I don't know what to think.

Well, I've only had shadows and attacks on my right side. THis is how it always is!!!
Today I feel weirder than usual.
I feel like I'm "shadowing" on my left as well. The same kinda pressure in eye and neck just not as bad as has been on the right. Bizarre!!! [smiley=huh.gif]Has this happened to anyone else? Could this be a regular headache(forgot what those are)? I'm confused. Feels weird and don't know how to "feel"
Just seems "asymptomatic" of anything I've learned, experienced, or been diagnosed with.

Anyone else ever experience this? [smiley=huh.gif]

I have been having shadows on both sides of my head, since my last cycle ended. However, never at the same time, one week or couple of days I will have them on the right, the next time I get them it will be on the left, I have NEVER had a ch on the left side though. Hope that helps. :-/

Most of my attacks are left sided now. I can still have an attack on the right though at anytime. I also shadow on both sides. NEVER (Both sides) AT THE SAME TIME.

Thanks a bunch!!!!
Seriously a weird day!!! The "shadows' weren't on both sides at the same time and I didn't have any major attacks since I posted early this afternoon though I thought I was going to.
I think what I had turned into a Migraine. Go fucking figure. I actually had a meeting this evening and prior to it I'm sitting in my car feeling like I did all day and wham I just felt like shit the pressure like crazy, dull and achey and I passed out. I know that wasn't a CH. Man it's a bitch but I'll gladly take this!! Just bizarre! I hadn't experienced this during cycle.
I wonder if coming off the prednisone could have done it?
Thanks again fellas,
Be well,
Eric
