I may have missed it but are you on ANY prevents?  It may be time to look into some methods that keep you from getting a hit.  I understand not wanting to use triptans as they do cause rebounds.  Of course we are all happy to hear that you are not relying on narcotics to abort.   I do hope that you find you magic bullet to end this cycle soon.  In the mean time, have you tried an energy drink at the on set of a HA?  Maybe it would speed up the time it takes for the freezer air to work.  Just a thought.

Take care,

Jeannie

Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which is what we need when we are getting hit.  It is what Imitrex does.  Contricts the arteries.  It is also what cold from that freezer does.

How did you make out getting the o2 today? I hope all went well and you have it at home. Please let us know.

Hi Chris, I haven't used any meds this time around and the cycle was 4 weeks shorter than usual, and the k10's has also been fewer. Think I'll stick to that path as long as I don't become chronic. I feel I can deal pretty good with the pain, even though it is a b****

All the best!

PS: When the barometer drops, my headaches always escalates, and I have also noticed that the pain intensifies at full moon (Might be som sort of tidaleffect, hell if I know).

PPS: Have you tried doing push ups when you feel a HA coming on? Helped me alot during this cycle

AAAOOOOOHHHHHHHH hehe

You...just up and quit using morphine?  Where's your doctor in all this? 

I'm getting a little lost here, Chris.  I haven't been following too closely, but I recall a whole laundry list of prescription meds you listed as things you've tried--powerful medications with significant side effects--but you won't drink a Mountain Dew?

Are you still taking any of these medications? 

Are you still smoking weed?  (I'm presuming that the "420" comes from somewhere.)

Then there's the weird stuff about the neighbors.

We've seen a few (very fine) folks here whose postings at times were affected by the chemicals they were taking.  Sometimes the things they wrote didn't make any sense.  Which I understand. 

Is that what's going on here?  Because some of this isn't making any sense to me.

I'm not out to "get" you, despite what you or anyone else might think.  Some good people here have actually talked to you, and vouched for you.  I'd just like to know whether I'm talking to Chris, or to the chemicals.

Best wishes, (and I truly mean that)

George
