Title: switching sides...
Post by whitestone on Oct 18^th, 2004, 11:35am

I don't want to start an old topic, but I know not everyone switches sides. I do, however. I was nearing the end of a cycle last week, and then I switched from my right to my left side (something I've never done in the midst of a cycle). Now, I'm only left sides, and I fear I simply ended one cycle and started the next one one or two days later. Sometimes I wish I could drive a needle into my skull and suck out some pressure...

Am I starting a new cycle, or am I having weird phantoms right after a cycle? I haven't fully slept in a month and a half, I really hope this isn't another beginning.

When I am at the end of my cycles it switches to the other side for a week or two. They are much less severe at this point (when they switch). I hope the same is true for you!

it's confirmed...another cycle has begun...DAMN!

Last night was not one like that you would get at the end of a cycle, and it's all left sides...looks like I'll be keeping in contact w/ you all for another little bit this time anyway.

That sucks dude!
I've been there 2x during this cycle...thinking I'm out of the wooods only to get pulled back in. IT IS WHAT IT IS! No more questioning it!
Hang in there and "stick around" even when you are pain free. You can offer up the kinda support to others who are in need ;)
