High cycle has returned...right on time.
Mar 9^th, 2009 at 5:08pm

Early March and it's back right on time, even with a pre-emptive dose just one week ago. Possibly old stock, not sure. Had been having the usual insomnia recursers for a few weeks as well.

2:02 am this morning same start time just as all the years past...damn wake up call. Not high kip, about a 5.

Found my lidocaine and even though the script is over 4 years old it kicked in in 15 minutes to take the worst of the edge off, and the stuffed numb sinus feeling as well as the anxiety kept me from sleeping again until 5. Been shadowing on and off all day.

Remedicating again tonight. Hope that it will set the stage for a re-caging of this beast.

So if you see me logged in late nights...well you'll know why.

So I doubled my usual dose from ~32 RC seeds to ~60+. Consumed at 5:30 PM.

After about an hour, I could feel the burning and tingling subside, yet there was still the familiar pressure behind the eye and throughout the left side of my face to just behind the ear.

I couldn't bring myself to crawl into bed until after the 2:02 time frame came and went with nothing more than a slightincrease in the pressure and a return of a mild burning sensation that left after about 20 minutes.

Went to bed, but still had a very difficult time falling asleep.

Woke at 8:20 this AM. Very minimal pressure, some transiant tingling in the left front quadrent, and quite still and sore muscles in the neck and shoulders, but nothing more. Need to keep an eye on what developes (or doesn't) over the course of the few days.

In my experience, the after hits were routine on day 3 post dose during the high cycles, and no post dose hits if I had dosed at first warning signs and kept the beast caged.

Planning another 60+ dose in 5 days as a fail safe measure, and then drop back to 30+ every 7 days for 2 weeks. This is, of course, if things continue to progress well.

If not, then I'll be "mixing it up" with a more potent beast slayer. Adjust the method and timing of the maintanance as needed after that.

This f#cker is not going to get a chance to bind me down again, and I'll fight that with all I got in me.

I'll keep you posted with the results as they happen.

Love you all!!!

I'm taking nothing that could possibly interfere with the RC process, including Melatonin.

Being without a job, no insurance, and my HA specialist no longer at the hospital, I don't have an O2 script. Living in a small apartment complex prohibits the welding O2 suppliers from letting me rent due to being a fire hazzard to the other units in the complex.

I have a pred taper in the dark reaches of the fridge if things get too far out of hand. I used to have a couple 5 packs of imitrex vials in there too in case of emergency, but I seem to have accidently left the last one I had at a friends house last time I visited.

I'll kick this. One way or another.

Anyone nearby enough to bring a couple of E tanks? Perhaps someone with a big welding tank and a transfill kit could keep you afloat with rotated E tanks.

Wish you were within driving distance for me - it would be so darned easy to refill my spare E tanks daily for you if needed.

I do not envy you having to tough it out without O2, but I FULLY understand the reason. Not sure I have the strength to do it anymore - must me getting soft in my old age.

Melly is the only one near me, and I'm so glad she's out of cycle and took hers back. She deserves to enjoy this remission.

Me too Jimi, and thank you. As I mentioned, I do have a little of the more potent Beast Slayer if the seeds don't do do the trick on their own.

I have plenty of frozen gel packs. Lots of cold water, and 4 4packs of Red Bull generic from Aldi's.

I've gone this many years without O2, though not by choice. I'll get through this.

Thanks folks.

I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed, but with the shadows continueing, I'm going to put my money on having to be dilligent for a while yet.

I'm betting on a good 3rd post-dose day! Next dose planned for the same number? I've done the "ramp each dose higher" route and didn't see any improvement, but some people have. That's why I asked.

Either way - kick some butt.

Yes the next dose is planned for the same ~60+ give or take. I'm upping the count due to the theory that some batches of seeds may have less content of the active stuff than other batches. As well as the batch may be older and therefore loosing some potency as well.

I'm confident that the batch has some potency because there hasn't been any full hits since Sunday. Just going to be dilligent and take this a it comes.

If needed, I will hit it with the "big guns" after the next dose if I don't see more substantial improvement.
