How does it end?
Feb 15^th, 2009 at 9:10pm

The first time was 4 yrs ago. I had only full blown attacks , once a evening every 1-3 days. They just vanished. This time they started that way in early Dec. but have since changed. Now I have numerous attacks day and night w/varying kip levels, shadows,long ones ,short ones, every kind there is. Ocassionally a day w/none, thinking its ending only to have more than ever the next day. How does it finally end? Is there a signal its ending or that its over or do you not know until you go a while pf?

Reply #1 - Feb 15^th, 2009 at 9:19pm Seems to be different for everyone. Some abruptly stop. Mine gradually come in, build up, then cycle down and out. If I'm pain free for 2 weeks I do the beer test. If CH is gone, I have no problem. If not, a beer will hit me with a CH within 20 minutes. Good luck. Joe

Reply #4 - Feb 16^th, 2009 at 12:54am FWIW, mine invariably ramp up pretty quickly, peak for a couple of weeks, and then gradually become less frequent and less intense until they fade away. YMMV. Best, George

Reply #13 - Feb 16^th, 2009 at 5:55pm Before this cycle, I'd get the worst hit ever, K10... and have shadows for at least a week and they'd just fade away. This cycle seems kind of different though, especially due to the abortives I'm using. I think it varies between all people. Praying for PF days... Kim

Normally by this point after starting my verapamil I would see some relief in site, but it seems like the beast just wants to hang around a little longer. This has been 6wks of sheer agony. I guess I will know it has ended when it ends.
