Title: One Week Painfree Today
Post by Ruth on Nov 12^th, 2004, 6:20pm

I just wanted to say that I have been painfree for one week now. I am so happy to be getting some sleep.
The last week of my headaches were very bad, I went through a big thing of oxygen in 3 nights.
I don't no exactly why they have gone away, maybe because I went back on Hormone Replacement therapy the 27th of Oct. Not something I wanted to do, but I had tried the pred and other prevents and nothing was working and I was afraid to try another prevent because all the ones I had tried made me feel so sick.
All I can say is that at the end of June I stopped taking HRT and 6 weeks later the clusters came.
When I saw the nuero she suggested I might try going back on the HRT. So I did and here I am.
I no this is not the answer for every women out there, and I can only guess that it helped or I was at the end of the cycle, who knows.
I feel kinda of guilty writting to say that I am PF now, because I no so many of you out there are suffering still and my heart goes out to you so much.
But other than a few close to me that no how we suffer I can't just share this good news with just anyone!
I just want to end in saying thank all and I hope now that I feel better I can be more supportive on those that are suffering.

Never, never , never feel guilty about posting you are pain free. When I am in cycle and feeling like it's not going to end its the "I'm PF" posts that pull me through.

ENJOY!
