Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by BMoneeTheMoneeMan on Jul 5th, 2005, 11:36pm No S, man. It's like when they come they still suprise me at how much they hurt. So at the same time that i am grunting in pain and keeled over while dancing, I am impressed at how much fucking pain can be in 1 head. Its really amazing, can't put it to words. PF wishes, let's hope we get hit less than 3 times tonite, and we can chalk that up as a W. BMonee |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by BobG on Jul 6th, 2005, 1:28am And not only how bad it hurts but how unique the pain is. The pain of a broken bone, cuts, scrapes, hangover or a splinter under a finger nail is one kind. The pain of a broken heart is another kind of pain. The pain of childbirth is, I don't know since I've never given birth, is another kind of pain. But, Cluster headache is in a class all by itself. There is no other pain like it. Totally, pure pain. |

Post by kimmeesue on Jul 6th, 2005, 2:50am Having experienced all of the above including three natural childbirths I can say without reservation..... all of them together don't touch a cluster. I'm getting hammerred along with you today and sorry to say misery does not like company. Wish you were pain free and I could relish your experience vicariously.But here's a [smiley=hug.gif] to make us both feel better. Kim |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by marlinsfan on Jul 6th, 2005, 10:19am Eric & Kimmessue, I'm sending PF wishes your way. What amazed me wife when this cycle started was how much I could dance, jump, bang my head when I got my first hit this cycle, just 4 days after back surgery. I could barely get out of bed when PF, but jumped around like crazy when the demon visited. Jose |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by jcmquix on Jul 6th, 2005, 11:25am I know what you guys mean, I keep trying to get to bed earlier every night, just to try and get enough hours of sleep, but I just seems to make the night longer. Last night I think I went through 4 hits, 1 bad one about an hour after aleep and the 3 smaller ones about 2-3 hours apart. Almost like trimors after an earth quake or like waves when a boat passes. ?? I don't know. I know they all hurt like hell. Thats what I do not understand, how hey come and go with the amount of pain. I have even been knocked in the head pretty good, but when they come on, its like 10x worse. Some days though my head is so sore from the night before, I can not even touch it, it even hurts when the wind blows my hair. I tired 2 tylonal yeaterday, big mistake, about 30 minutes later I got about the 3rd daytime hit that I have had this cycle. I like getting them at night and not during the day at work, but then we get no sleep. Glad I found this place, I would just go NUTS tring to figure it out, but all we need to do is deal with it and PRAY for the PF times. I WISH PFDAN's TO ALL !!!! |

I had a short reprieve and since then the hits have been "constant". It's like the ebb and flow of the tide....bad shadow.....short hit.....bad shadow.....longer hit.....bad shadow.....I think I liked it better when I had one long hard hit and got it over with. This is exhausting. |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by Sandy_C on Jul 6th, 2005, 4:45pm [smiley=hug.gif] I know this shit hurts like hell. There's nothing else like it in the world, and its demoralizing when we hope that the one we just had would be the last one, and then bang, another one comes along. Stay strong! Keep the faith! If I were a genie, I'd give you PFDAN forever, along with every other CH sufferer in the world. |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by bnfreeman on Jul 6th, 2005, 9:17pm I am still amazed at how smart these things can be. As soon as I tell someone I think my medicine is helping, I start getting hit everynight! They never let you forget! And believe me, I havn't. I will officially be chronic in October. So I guess I have a lot to look forward to. Best wishes everyone! Brandi |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by sarsie on Jul 6th, 2005, 10:32pm I have not experienced "childbirth" in the traditional sense. I did however, go through an unmedicated c-section due to a defective epidural pump. This was worse. |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by sarsie on Jul 6th, 2005, 10:44pm I hope y'all suffering CH right now are feeling better ASAP. It's interesting as I have read through many of these posts, though. Mine seemed to last longer than most of yours, but I had fewer hits per day. Normally once it came on it would ebb and flow a bit, but generally maintained constant pain for 2-5 hours. I wonder if it's a difference between nighttime or daytime attacks (mine were daytime)? That could be an interesting "study." |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by millie the episodic on Jul 8th, 2005, 7:22am I told my husband that I was amazed that this headhell has not thrown me into a stroke or a heart attack. I still think that this pain is nowhere near normal, and there has to be something that someone can do about them. My prayer is that God gives me the strength to endure until they do. And I do think that the nighttime ones, or for shiftworkers like me, the ones that happen after you go to sleep are the worse. Probably because your guard is down and you don't know that hell is about to break loose. |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by yikes-another-one on Jul 9th, 2005, 10:58am ;;D It was amazing to me. In April 2005 I had 3 teeth pulled....2 wisdomn teeth and I was given steroids, painkillers, anti-biotics. I went headache free for 3 blessed days, had energy back and had a chance to "Organize" some to-do lists. It was a miracle, and i thought, "Wow, this is what it is like to be normal. I sort of remember what life was like before september 2004" What's funny is a didn't take one pain killer. the tooth ache was not even a blip on the radar compared to the freaking level 4's I was getting 4-8 times every darn day. as soon as the steriod taperd down, back came the beast, and the new energy flew out the window along with my mental powers of reasoning and planning.... ;) It's been a few months, but I think back to those three days.... and It's like recalling a perfect vacation or remembering a hug form your grandpa from your childhood.... something you want again, really desperately... but something you know is long gone and out of reach. Ah well. (Everyone I tell that I had my wisdom teeth pulled, well, they touch their jaws and wince...because they have been there and done that. they all say, "Having them pulled kills" and so on. But Inside I roll my eyes. If they only knew a pain the really kills....hahahahahahahahaha meanwhile if I say, "I'm getting that familiar head pain" they literally roll their eyes and say, "so why don't you just go lay down?" It gets old so I don't even bother anymore. after 8 years of this crap I am so done caring if anyone understands. I do have two co-workers who see my droopy eye and say, "another bad one?" but you know, they go one with thier work... and expect me to go one with mine....so we do. nothing really else to do, right? but I have some friends who are like, "you never want to go out after work" and I try to say, "because I always have a headache at 7pm.." qand they really think I am like making up excuses not to hang with them. ugh. life goes on, but ugh..... |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by Topical on Jul 10th, 2005, 3:16am I was telling my friend how the pain is the worst thing you can ever feel. He reminded me of when he spilled boiling water on his legs and ended up in the hopital with third degree burns. I still wasn't willing to concede that his pain was worse as it eventually went away never to return. I'll never forget that feeling of a 10. Wisdom teeth are nothing but pin pricks. paul_pero, great to hear about the relief you are getting with the O2. WTG! unsolved1 - Smack down that monster! |

Title: Re: It still amazes me....... Post by seasonalboomer on Jul 12th, 2005, 9:05am The farther I get away from my last cycle I do almost forget about how bad the pain is. I mean, I remember rolling around on the floor, pushing my palm into my eye socket so hard, crying, moaning and all that. But, the pain itself, I almost forget how it "feels". I suppose that's a good thing. |
