Title: Strange Hit .. ..
Post by ClusterChuck on Apr 27^th, 2005, 3:27am

Got two posts I want to post, before trying to get some sleep. Here is the first one:

I had the STRANGEST hit the other day!!! I have had this curse for 27 years now, and they have always been on my left side. In the past six or so months, every now and then I would get a bit of a tingling on my right side. I thought, strange, but oh, well ... ... ... Well. Yesterday (I think it was) I got a full HIT on my RIGHT side!!??!!??!!?? WTF?? ?? ?? It was not that bad of a hit, only about a KIP-6, but it WAS A HIT!! ?? ?? I went out to my van (I was at work) and sucked down some oxygen, and sure enough, it responded!!! It did not hit all the areas that my left side hits do, but it was definitely a cluster hit.

All my hits since then have been back on my left side. WTF ?? ?? This ever happen to any of you?

Chuck, who really is strange!

I'm a lefty as well, and get the rogue hit on the right on occasion. I feel activity more often there than actually get hit on the right, but yes I do occasionally get hit on the right.

Samething (only rightsided CHer).....I get alot of activity but only once in a while get a full on CH on the "otherside" Last night was one example for me too......It's weird and are the only ones that I get even the slightest bit nervous about b/c despite it being just another attack it seems brand new all over again.

Be well Chuck!

I'm a leftie, but I've had few hits on the right side. It was weird on the first time, although the pain was the same.

I’m a righty - 27 years and only once got hit on the left side, this year actually and it was a mild one. It was definitely a strange feeling after having it always on one side.

I am a rightie. When I was episodic, one cycle, the whole cycle was on the left side.

Now, from time to time I get hits on the left side.

So I guess when all the CH is "used up" on one side, at least the beast has the other side to keep going .... ;;D

PS. I know it is jaded and some people might think it is cruel. I'm not new at this 15 years episodic and 2 chronic. With time you learn to live with it and even get to make fun of yourself.

I went for 8 years with them always on the right. Then in 95 they switched to the left, but would seem to ping pong. The neuro at the MHNI clinic in Michigan (back when I resided there) said that can happen.
I've been a primary righty since becoming chronic 7 years ago, but sometimes ping pong sides. The left hits only reach a 7-8, maybe 9, but like you Chuck, it doesn't seem to jar the left side of my melon as bad as it does the right.

Peace,
Carl D

I have been hit on both sides, predominately a righty, but have gotten them on the left.
