Title: Somethin's Happening Here
Post by Sandy_C on Jun 1^st, 2005, 4:50pm

And what it is ain't exactly clear! I just finished an 8 week session with the beast at the end of April and have been PF since. For the third time this week, at about 9:00 pm, I've had some symptoms of CH, eye pain, nasal congestion, nerve pain - ON THE LEFT SIDE ONLY. My CH has always been on the right. Nothing goes over maybe a K3 level, but it's sort of the same yet sort of different.

Any ideas out there?

Also, has anyone tried ordering their meds offshore through web "drugstores". I looked into getting Imitrex pills from another source other than my pharmacy, who charges two arms and a leg for 24 lousy 50 mg pills (almost $200). I found several places where Imigran (Europe's name for Imitrex) could be purchased for $77 US dollars - same quantity . Their packaging shows the exact same manufacturer and pill as the Imitrex I'm losing my shirt for.
Is this safe to do?

Thanks and luv to all [smiley=huh.gif]

The beast likes to play like that, I went 23 years on the left and then it went to the right....now at 30 years its back to the left.

I have the same thing right now. I had kips 6-10 daily since October. Then in April I have just had a small headache on the right side only. I asked if anyone else had these and their response was "shadows". The advise was to try caffiene, Excedrine migraine, exercise. Stuff like that. Sometimes those things work and sometimes they don't. Some kind of physical exertion works best for me. I read through a lot of the recent threads and old ones and found out just about everyone has shadows at some point. I am looking into LSA and the clusterbuster alternatives to knock it out. Hope this help. Best wishes!

My first fight ending 7 years ago it was always the right. This time around, it goes from side to side.

Very strange cycle here too. Thought I was done for a year or two, but now I'm not sure. Staying on my kudzu in hopes that this thing will end soon.

If mine ever switches sides, I hope it balances my left eye lid with my droopy right eye lid. Then again maybe this would just make me look like I'm asleep all the time. Good luck with whatever you are going through.
