Title: New "pseudo-cluster" ?!? Post by UnderTheRadar on Dec 2nd, 2008 at 9:21pm
Okay...so I'm in week 3 of clusterbusting a cycle- so far, almost 2 weeks without a cluster attack, and the almost constant migraines all but dissappeared, with only a mild one coming on in the evenings when I'm on the computer for a long time.
Now, 2 days ago this new lil' b@stard shows up: it's a deep, sharp, boring pain centered behind my right eye, feels like my browbone is trying to melt down onto my eyeball, eye is feeling "heavy" and a little droopy; but it hasn't peaked or valleyed- it has been a level 7 for two straight days now, and nothing will stop it! But it's not making me particularly nauseous like my migraines do (unless I sit down at a computer, and then it feels like a migraine.) It also hasn't switched sides at all. Thoughts? Observations? Haikus? Oh, and we tried vicodin last might...vicodin does NOT like me. At all. ::) |

Are you light sensitive Radar? Sound sensitive? I had a lot of that crap before I started on the lithium. The one thing the lithium did a complete job on beating down for me.
I also do not get migraines any more. I just wish it could beat down the beast completely! I guess you only get two birds with one stone in the cartoons. ;D |

radar your migraine symtoms are tyical of busting. thats about the same as what happened to me. i didn't follow it through for weeks like you are doing, my dose lasted about 14 hours (tripping to the oldies). after my dose wore off i got hit with 3 45 minute long kip9s. after that the rest of the day was a steady kip3. the first week the attacks were just as frequent but less severe and easier to control with o2. week 2 the attacks were weaker, less frequent and i was getting sleep. 3rd week i had maybe 3 kip5s and some hard migraines. at the end of the 3rd week i was drinking beer and off the o2.
i would say you almost got it busted ;) also vicadin doesn't do shit for clusters keep in mind, if your going to be clusterbusting you need to be rx free for at least a week or 2 beforehand. o2 is ok |

Radar, sounds to me like you just about busted the beast's ass gone. Hang tough brother. Keep the 02 flowing. Coach Bill

Thanks y'all...I feel better knowing this might mean the end of the cycle! But as far as the computer goes, I'm a graphic design major so I HAVE to work on the computer! ;D But, I did some research on office ergonomics, and after moving some things around and changing the lighting arrangements it's a LOT better. Thanks y'all! :-*
