Title: Dancin' Again....
Post by Tom K on Aug 27^th, 2004, 12:01pm

After 4 PFDAN, it is back. Just like the last one, this one refused to break. Trex NS didn't work, no shots on hand, phar is out until 3PM today, O2 not working, ice not working, Red Bull not working. After 2 hours this bastard refuses to go away. Thought this cycle was gone, but alas it raises it's ugly head....
Going to try a hot/cold shower and see what happens.

I don't know how I would have made it this long without all of you. Even if I don't post all the time, you guys get me through the toughest times...Thank You, All!!!!

Tom,
You probably know...they do happen like that. I am always sort of awed by those really stubborn ones that simply won't respond to any of the "weapons" in my line up. Oxygen and trex are two nearly perfect silver bullets for me but I do occasionally encounter specific attacks that seem to breach all efforts to abort. In that case, I try to get deep into my mask, keep breathing the Oxygen, and focus on the cadence of the breathing. Hmm..maybe it would help to put The Doors' "Riders On The Storm" on the stereo? Seems it could be our theme song at these times.

I really hope that by the time you read this all will have dissipated, and that you get right back into those glorious PFDAN (I am at 48 hours now and still counting...god I love these breaks).

Best,

Yeah! It broke!! I did a hot shower with the O2 on. Sounded like a good idea at the time?! Thanks for the good vibes, everyone!!!
