Yep... you're still going to get hit as long as you're in 'cycle' but, as you said, now you can cope with them easier and abort quicker.

We don't have a "cure" for CH... all we can do is help you "handle" them with what's worked for us. Maybe someday we'll all have a cure, but not yet.

Hope your cycle is short, but now you can cope better...

Hugs BD :-*

Ya Anthony...you will probably settle into a regular routine. I did. But when the Verapamil got built up in my system, It was much easier to kill those ones that do get through.

hope your cycle is short.!
