Title: I Hope Like Hell This Is A Fluke....
Post by Carl_D on Apr 27th, 2006, 2:47pm
After 3? months remission...

Stayed up late doing puter work and slept in for my day off.

Woke up with a level 5 on the left side (not my normal side) and lasted about a half hour. Popped a Frova as soon as I got out of bed.

The whole time my head is swimming with the thoughts, "Am I going back into cycle? Another 8 years chronic? Will I be episodic this time? Will this ever fucking end?"

Now I am back to clear thought and have my mind on override chanting "It's a fucking fluke"
and if not...

I see my Doc on Tuesday, and he did say we have room to go up on the Verapamil so the beast better not fuck with me again.

Nervous,
Carl D

Here's hoping it was a fluke.

If not,  send ole fuck stick my way!  My cycle hasn't broken in years, a couple more a week or night won't alter reality too much for me.  

Hang tough!!

I never heard of anyone with CH who was cured. I have heard of long remissions but sooner or later.........Fucko. I am only 52. Lived 22 years with this shit. Everytime I go in cycle I sound like you. I feel your pain bro :-*

It was a fluke Carl.. trust me I'm a bitch!  ::)
You've beat this before, you'll do it again, you've got us for a start. Up the verap if you need to but not if its a fluke okay?
Good luck!

My doc told me last visit that I could still go higher on the Verap, and I told him, "Since it seems to be working where I'm at with it, I don't want to go any higher unless absolutely necessary." I figured at least that way I have an option if the beast returns. If I go all the way to the highest dose allowed, and THEN go into cycle - well, there's no room for upping the arsenal. So, I'm glad I waited.

It was a fluke. I just keep telling myself that, especially since it was on the left. If not... we're getting a punching bag hung up at work.  ;;D

Peace,
Carl D

It was a fluke. You stayed up too late and slept in. Thats what it was, got it? You know us clusterheads have to go to bed at the same time, eat at the same time and get up at the same time. Just a fluke, thats all it was. :)

Last cycle I had lasted from February through end of May.  June was 100% pain free, and then first of July, hits on my left side (I'm a rightie).  Those lasted for almost a month, but weren't as severe as a "normal" cycle.  Never went more than a 4 or 5 level.  And, hits were fewer than normal.   Since the end of July, I've been pain free (knock wood ).  I think the beast was just testing me to see if I would panic with his little "fluke".  I didn't and neither will you.

Oh, and by the way, this is a fluke too

I hadn't put it together, but that could be Cootie. My sis in law pointed out something I hadn't thought of.
I started a workout routine 2 weeks ago, and am in the process of trying to undo the damage done by meds for years, and getting into bodybuilding (I'm training to be a cage fighter - LMAO). Tuesday I did a brutal workout, especially after seeing that psycho on Hannity and Colmes. I did 3 sets yesterday, but today was my 'take it easy' day.

I think Jimi might be right also. Instead of getting up at a set time I slept in. I haven't been doing that (when I do sleep). Still battling insomnia a bit, but not nearly as bad as a few months back. Though last week sucked, as I didn't sleep for two nights in a row and was pretty much a basket case the 2nd day.

It has to be a fluke. No shadows or nothing since.

Peace,
Carl D
