Hi William, and welcome. Biggest thing is--don't be afraid. What's the phrase? Fear is the mindkiller. CH won't kill us, but our reaction to it can, or it can at least make us more miserable than we need to be. Life's between the hits. Take heart--it will end. You know it will. If you need to vent or just need someone to talk to, some of us are always here. Welcome home. Best regards, George P.S.--Episodic since 1966. Left side only. |

Title: Re: Right or Left side........... Post by big guy on Sep 10th, 2006, 4:15am Right sider since about 1966 but this is my first cycle since 1987. There is hope for pain free time. William, I sure understand about being afraid to go to bed. I usually get hit at night or when I first get up. What meds are you on? Big Guy |

Title: Re: Right or Left side........... Post by wam on Sep 10th, 2006, 12:29pm Hi everyone, I didnt know someone posted this question in the past already.I always thought that if it was more common in one side that the doctors/researchers might have something to go by.Oh well...dare to dream as they say.To answer Big Guy's question,Im not on any meds.I tried Imitrex 5 years ago and had a bad reaction to it.My neck swelled up and made it hard for me to breath.Its too bad because I notice on the boards here that it works well for people.I get by with ice packs and warm showers.I had another CH this time at 2:30am.It was about a 5 on the Kip scale.Not to bad but still woke me up from a deep sleep.Thanks to George,Charlotte,Big Guy and the rest of you for your posts.Its nice to know your out there.Thank you!! :) |

Title: Re: Right or Left side........... Post by Carl_D on Sep 23rd, 2006, 2:59am I am mostly right sided, but have got some hits on the left. The ones on the left have never hit a kip 10, however I have had more than enough kip 10's, mostly when I first went chronic, but have had a few this cycle too. Right handed also. I have also read on a clustergroup on myspace about some people who have other chronic physical pains. It seems it is all on the primary cluster side. My right shoulder, side and leg always hurt, and my right leg craps out at least twice a year for a period. Peace, Carl D |
