I thought I avoided a cycle when that last mini-cycle came and went in a matter of weeks. No such luck. I started one about 10 days ago. I was smart enough to start Topamax right away and thanks to ability to tolerate I'm already up to 100 mg at night. I'll start adding morning dose next week. Such a bizarre cycle as its so different than all the others. Started so much later, the times of the pain are at different times, they don't come every night, I even get them earlier in the day (with no barometric changes, my usual trigger). I'm even on a two week vacation so stress is so low and I'm relaxed. And I have a great assignment to go back to in January. I did a shot of Sumavel and some Cambia which worked for all of 12 hours. Eh, it is what it is. Could be worse I suppose. I'm only hitting a kip 5 or 6. Nothing as intense as the last bunch of cycles, so I consider myself lucky. Only hard part is the long drawn out dull pain I have al night that keeps me up. Screwed up my sleep cycle. Well, tomorrow will be better I'm sure. Peace and PF to all.
