Title: labotomy anyone????
Post by thanksdad on Oct 6^th, 2007, 11:17pm

Okay, okay... I was so tired, so the dumb dumb head doctors have given me everthing they can to make me stop crying but it does not get rid of the devil inside. Now...I had 6 and one half beautiful, wonderful days of nearly pf days with of course the rotten shadows hanging around.

Now, this evening I am up two shots of imitrex with no relief. She is coming and nothing will stop her. Gosh its funny how often I wonder what it would be like not to have the right side of my head and I wonder. . . do other people thing these strange thoughts?

So the big problem here, it's called hope. I have had nearly six months of constant cluster. My doc says he thinks im chronic. After about the fourth day of relief I thought the new cocktail of drugs I am on were working magic. I just don't know how to continue doing this constantly. I keep thinking its the weird weather we have out here in cali, but who the heck knows. The doctors don't. It used to be spring and fall so cut and dry and now my cycles are longer and longer and man I get so f'n tired.

Thanks for being here and understanding. I needed to rant.

Sorry to hear what you're going through. I have weird thoughts go through my mind all the time too.

Better tell your Doc to check his diagnostic criteria.

We all get strange thoughts when we're over tired and getting beat regularly. Just keep plugging away and don't let the beast win. You keep venting here if it helps. We'll keep listening and trying to support you.

((((HUGS))))

Hey Thanksdad,

Sorry for what your going through...that frustration of trying to find what will work (at least for awhile) is a bugger I know. My thoughts are with you and yeah, when I am going through the going through I tell my darling hubby to hide all the sharp objects...lots of strange ideas come while dancing with the beast...but even that is part of its modus operandi...exhausting you and having you think all kinds of stupid things are viable alternatives...

Here's hoping you find that magical cocktail soon.

Rather than a frontal lobotomy I'd settle for a bottle in front of me.

Still thankful it's not a trigger...

It could be a bit of triptan rebound, 2 vials at once is alot. Try huffing on the O2 at 15 Lpm and let Glaxso make there money off some one else.

Wishing you some PF time, Rolo… ;)
