Title: Whining
Post by TomM on Feb 13^th, 2003, 9:57am

I'm not accustomed to more than 3 HA in one day, but yesterday I had 4 from 7:00 AM to 4:30 PM not to mention the 3 I had the eveing before. Is it OK for me to whine?? ???

I am eposodic and have obviously started a cluster set.

Whine away. At least here we understand what you're dealing with. Dealing with the beast is hard enough to do when you have finally figured out the game plan. Then the SOB changes the game just to keep you on edge.
I hope this is a short run cycle for you.

Be my guest and whine till the cows come home ( ???) I can't take 1 CH in a day, couldnt imagine 7 within a 24 hr span, Geeeeeeez! I think I'd be bald by now from ripping out my hair.

Hope you see pf days real, real soon.......

TomM,

It's okay by me if you whine.....sometimes, you just have to, and it's nice to know someone is listening.

I'm sorry you're hurting and I hate to hear you're getting hit that much. Are you able to abort any of them, or are they running away with you?

Hope this doesn't last too long for you.

PFDAN,

Tracey

Thanks for the positive feedback!

I have my Imitrex nasal, thank God.

Tom,
Sorry to hear your getting slammed so often. Hang in there and whine all you want, this is the place to do it ;)
You mentioned Imitrex nasal but have you ever tried the injectable type? For me it works a LOT faster than the nasal. Also I have recently found great relief from oxygen. It seems to work as well or better than the 'trex (for me anyway) w/out the side effects. I'm now a big huge fan of that silver cannister.

JDH--I have not tried the injections since I am happy with the 10 minute lag time of the nasal. But, I should try O₂. My new Nuero offered it to me last year but I did not need it by then since the set was over.

Whine away, man...If I was getting 7 a day, I'd be doing that and a whole lot more...Luckily, I'm also episodic and usually get hit in the Spring. So I've got a couple months of PFDAN's to go...Hopefully years.

Hey man, hang tough. I just finished up a cycle that started in early September (mine are normally 8-10 weeks) I hate it when the beast throws a curve ball just to make life miserable. I look at it as it's just that much more beautiful when I do go PF.

Here's prayin' you have a short one.
