Hey all,

My 'cycle' has started again, same time as last year. I am wondering what you guys do to keep the pain bearable. I visited my GP last year and he just said take 2 paracetamol when they start, which works on 'some' occasions.

I'd also like to let you know my symptoms.

I have the pain in my temples and around the eyes. Last year it was on my right side, this year on my left..i think it is the first time on my left. The pain is not so bad at the moment but i know it will get worse before it gets better.

So glad i found this website, so many useful tips!

Thanks,

Especially read carefully all about the oxygen. It is a godsend to most of us.

Thanks!

Yes I think I may need to see another quack, thanks the link too makes good reading...kinda :)

Hehe, i like how you guys call the pain the 'Beast'! It's fitting indeed!

What Jimi said!  O2 is the best abortive I've found.  Energy drinks with caffeine and taurene are second.
