Title: cyclical nature of ch
Post by Charlotte on Oct 1^st, 2006, 4:02pm

Even chronics.

Do you see a cyclical nature, even cycles within cycles?

Nope. No rhyme or reason here. I've been chronic the last three years, but I do find drug combinations that allow me to be pain free for extended periods of time.

So let me clarify, Charlotte. I am chronic-with daily hits but I do have days on end that are worse than others. Not had any pain free days in a long time. So I call those cycles within cycles-though they are not predictable.

Since off meds I go 2 weeks high then 2 weeks low.
As we enter the autumn, I'm expecting to go in full force for the next few months until winter.

fun times ;) (that's not a wink it's horner's syndrome lmao!)

I definitely have cycles within my chronic ch. Every 5-6 weeks I'll get a "bad week" where my hits will more than double. This usually lasts 7-10 days.
Although I'm now using RC seeds and don't get hit so much I can still tell this pattern exists as this last week when my hits returned I got hammered with hits and I think that would have coincided with where my "bad" week would traditionally have been.
