Title: hey everybody!
Post by clusterica on May 9th, 2010 at 1:49pm
haven't been here for a long time..
off-topic:
started today a new job, the one that i told you about me going to an interview..

and now for the other news:
its been about two weeks without CH attacks, but.. (yes there's always "but"..)
but some kind of pain still in my right side of head.
it's like the beast presence "hey, I'm still there so be good, or else..."
it's not that i can't live or function with it but it's very annoying and kinda scary .. what if it breaks out once again..
every time i get a bit exited i feel the pain a bit more...

i brought energy drinks to my new office in case of, you know..

and one more thing... i had a beer and nothing happened so i guess I'm OK now..

it means that i have two years break now (i had two years break from my last CH attacks..)

thanks for listening...

have a great week!!  :-*

Hay grate news on your job hope all goes well

The annoying some kinda pain you described are what we call shadows , if these get too annoying you can see them off for a while with the energy drinks but too many can make you a bit jumpy and jittery (bit like I feel now....oops)

any how hope all goes well for you now and the beast stays away for a longggg time.

hello
great to hear u have not had attacks in 2 weeks! from what i learned on the excellent site any uncomfortable feeling in your head (shadows) means your still in cycle! Are u on prevent's? If so i learned on here that do NOT go off of prevents until at least 2 or 3 weeks with no attack's or "shadows"
pfw' to u and all!!
anthony

p.s. congrats on the new job!!! ;)

Hi Nigel, Anthony
well i just can't fell asleep when i drink it after 14:00 pm..
i don't take prevents coz my neurologist didn't gave me any..  but i read about Imitrex and we have it here in Israel so i guess I'll tell him to give me a prescription..

Some people are bothered by flying....some aren't. Hard to say what will happen until you try it.

I've flown on cycle and it has never brought on a hit. But I still bring the imitrex injectables with me just in case! My wife always grabs 2 Red Bulls once we're past security to keep in my backpack on the plane.....also just in case! Hope the beast is done with you.

I'ver never had a problem Anthony.  Many here who fly often, have said the same thing. It's medication.  Can you imagine a diabetic not allowed to have his Insulin & syringes with him.??   I believe you should probably have your name and your Drs. name on the packaging though.

Yeah Tony, I've had to open it and explain it. Make sure you bring one of the boxes that has the prescription on it. When I explained what it was and showed it to them it was no problem.
