Title: Ouch in the Artic
Post by Charlotte on Apr 27^th, 2006, 1:47pm

Ouch in the Arctic emailed me and he is going to the doctor today. Hopefully, he will have something better than Tylenol.

He is episodic, 6-10 weeks every year or two, 2-3 clusters a day, 30 minutes to 2 hours in length.

I'm going to email him the kudzu info Nani sent me. I see from his 1st post that he hasn't checked back in here.

Please remember him. His name is Lawrence.

I enjoyed meeting you, too, and thanks for the cookies.

I'm doing much better.

It was rather amazing. Several minutes after I posted for prayer, I noticed I could think, and all of a sudden I could conentrate and work started going well.

I am so grateful to everyone who lifted me up.

Thank you.

It really makes me appreciate that I have something that helps me now without causing more harm. I'm using 5 mg Paxil a day (not much but it works better than a higher dose and raises my pain tolerance 20 per cent) and 1/8 or 1/4 Maxalt mlt several times a day. Neither of these has caused me any problems. Still getting hit about every 2 - 3 hours but mid-range so it's not too bad.

Thanks, again, my friends.

Charlotte
