thanx, nancy--
i have, and she said it was a normal side effect.
she did take the precaution of having me take a
pill, waiting until the data said maximum
concentration had been reached and *then* checking
my bp-- as i said, a tad high, but well within the
normal range, or at least *my* normal range.
i suppose it's kinda odd. i don't take the stuff,
of course, unless i'm in a cluster, so i don't
worry about it. when i do need it, tho, i don't
give a damn. if the price of no or less cluster
pain is a shortened life expectancy, well fine
says i, and cheap at that. living during a cluster
isn't living, anyway, it's mere existance, not the
sort of thing *anybody* would choose to prolong.
in re-reading, i can see some of you might take
this wrong: no, i am not suicidal! i never get
that way over clusters except maybe, like travis,
when i get the first couple of a new cluster and
i know i have to face it again. even so, i soon
get over it once i remember what i have to do to
suffer less and begin "cluster mode". what i
really meant was that i've always been more
interested in living well rather than long...
thanx again, tho--
