Title: Breaks over, here I go again.....
Post by Skyhawk5 on Feb 23^rd, 2010 at 8:48pm

14 months and he's back. I used to get up to 2 years but not for the last 3 cycles.

Stocked up on the O2 and DHE and just ordered another higher flow reg for my E-tanks. So far it's been a week of wakeups, stopped by O2 and only one shot. Ready to fight.

Idiots at the O2 shop tried to give me the wrong mask, after I told her 3 times, "the one with a bag". I only get these as backup as I have 2 O2pti masks.

Vent over, Don

That's a frikkin rip off - sorry to hear that. :(

Remissions are supposed to keep getting longer as the years go by. Sheesh you can never count on this beast to play by the rules.

I'll take that short cycle. My last 3 lasted 6mnths. So far only wakeups that O2 stops, but every night. Highest was a K-6. Starts slow for me, but one day bam.

I do have the best tools I've ever had for CH. Got them last cycle.

Still the fear bites, but I'm OK...

Feel for ya Don....mine are back too :'(
This is the first time ever tho, that I have been able to control them in 30 years!
I'm taking Verapamil SR (standard release) 240mg daily at the mo - forgot to take tablets one day and was hit at 2am K-7....not forgotten since lol.
Although you are advised not to drink alcohol with these meds, I have been able to drink wine (special occasion) and NOT been hit :o
2 months into cycle now and not had to use O2 once...
I don't post very often, so you may have already used these meds. I am not even sure if the bout is over..will miss a day of meds next week and see if he's still lurking [smiley=curtain.gif]
