Title: I guess it's my turn to ask for prayers....
Post by Virginia on Oct 18th, 2004, 3:44pm
About 80% of the time I can "handle" these chronic bastards.  Then there's the other 20% of the time.  I try not to say a lot about what's going on with me, because I know there are always others suffering worse than me.  The past week & 1/2 has been one of those 20% times and I really could use as many prayers as you can spare.

Went to the Urgent Care last Tuesday night and my lame neuro wouldn't authorize an ongoing DHE treatment so I was only able to get 1 DHE IV while there.  That didn't do anything, I was up every 2 hours that night.  The worst night so far has been Thursday night when I spent about 4 hours on the floor of my bathroom crying my eyes out.  It's cool & dark in the bathroom and I figured it was the only room in the place where my neighbors couldn't hear me wailing.  :'(  My oxygen hasn't been helping at all.

I came back to work today and I'm struggling just to make it though the day.  I have a non-refundable plane ticket to fly to DC on Saturday for a week's vacation.  I have not taken a week off for vacation in years and I was so looking forward to it.  Right now, I can't even imagining traveling the way I feel.

Like I said, if you can spare any prayers I'd truly appreciate it.
Feeling down & out & beat-up...
Thanks,
Virginia  :-[

Virginia,

Me and my wife will pray for you.  May God carry you through your pain to the light with his love.  I know when my pain has gotten really bad that Jesus is the only one who was there to take care of me.  That gives me comfort when I feel none.

In His Love,
Marcus

Thats the draw back of only using 02 for an abortive. My trex travels lightly where ever I want to go.

Take your vacation. Suffer here or suffer there. May be the vaca will relieve some of the attacks and when you get back get a new neuro.

Mega vibes on the way Virginia.

And, remember, fight hard. Can't let the bastard overtake "YOUR" vacation. You've earned it and deserve it. So, if he visits......I'm hoping he sees how unwanted he is, and how you're gonna fight to win even harder.

Wishing you luck, and a rested vacation time.

Let us know about how your trip goes and the fun you have while there.


hugs,
EDNA

I agree that you should go take your vacation.  At least there will be less stress on you and that may help with the hits.

Prayers and vibes on the way.

Thank you all for your prayers, good thoughts, and words of encouragement.
Yesterday started out ok, but that beast has a way a playing games with us as you know.  I got through most of the day without a hit but then at 4:30 pm I started to feel some pain.  It did not become full blown until 6 pm and lasted till 6:45.  At 7:30 I got hit again, another 10 that last till around 8:15.  I dosed off around 9pm, only to be woken up by the beast at 11pm.  That hit lasted until 12:45 am.  At 1:30 am, I was up again.  Not sure how long that one lasted.  I finally nodded off a little on the couch in an upright position.  :-[

I'm at work again, but feeling like crap again.  Got hit with another bad one around 10 am and couldn't find a cool place in the office to hide.

Thanks again for your support, keep the prayers & thoughts coming....I know "it will end".

Love,
Virginia

I'm thinking about you and hoping it eases up V.  It just really sucks when it ramps up like this and you have to maintain some kind of life and work.

Grit your teeth and get tough, you can outlast it...even though it doesn't seem like it at times.

Give me a call.......

I really hate that clusterheads have to deal with pain so bad that it makes them think twice about everything they do.  

I hope you take your trip anyway. Think of it as winning a battle with the beast.

All my thoughts and vibes.
