Title: I want my life back
Post by kimmeesue on Apr 1^st, 2005, 1:23pm

Or somebody else's life would be good. Any good deals on e-bay? Is this an appropriate place to whine? I usually don't. But this morning I woke up with a tension ha. Cool. I can handle this. Like a normal person. Then I started the self talk. I am not going to have a cluster today. Like I ever have "a" cluster. I'm a chronic. It's either multiple or nothing and this has been a bad week. But I was in a positive thinking mode. Do normal stuff. Lasted about an hour til I noticed the shadow. Then the pressure. Right now it's just sitting there waiting to pounce and it's making me MAD! I want it to go away. If an annoying telemarketer calls I can choose to not answer...if my annoying neighbor comes calling I can ignore the doorbell...why can't I just choose to ignore this frigging beast who perches somewhere behind my right eye. I can't even knock him off. It's not fair. I can't even throw a fit because I have to clean up the mess. HELP!!!!

Really sorry that you're being hit so badly at the moment. :( Don't despair, you are not alone and you will get plenty of support on these boards. Do you have the correct abortives to give you relief? What do you use?

Keep your chin up honey and be strong. :)

Triptans never worked, O2 quit after a couple of years, topamax has helped some and tramadol only if I get to it quickly enough but I hate feeling dopey almost as much as the ha.
I have sat here all day with the beast getting bigger and now it is time for my husband to come home and it is Friday night and we have a lovely weekend to look forward to and he is going to take one look at me and know. And I want to say "Hi Honey, I'm fine and dandy" but he'll know.Then I feel guilty for being such a dud. I'd say it was hormonal (feeling so low today) but I don't do that anymore. Guess it's just a phase.
Thanks guys and gals.

kimmeesue, you have one of the most important cluster fighting tools left in your arsenal.

A sense of humor.

I tried using the harmonal excuse and got hit on by a transvestite. That sucked.
