Linda,
I usually get at least one of those in every cluster. Usually near the beginning of the cluster too. The one that is forever etched in my memory was from the cluster before last. Spent 2 hours in the family room downing cafergot, melting ice packs on my head, building little snotty tissue castles on the floor in front of me. After 2 hours I staggered upstairs to get sick (didn't want the daughters downstairs to have to listen to it). The barfing didn't stop the HA like normal. Spent the next 45 minutes pulling myself up to my knees to heave and collapsing back to the floor. When the HA finally started to go away, I literally crawled on my hands & knees from the bathroom to the bed. Climbed up and collapsed on the bed, on my back. Mistake!!!! Within 15 minutes the HA was on it's way back to lift off levels. Crawled back to the bathroom for another 1 hour tango with the toilet. That's where my wife found me sleeping, next to the toilet, when she came home a few hours later. Phil's exclaimation was right on, Holy Jesus!!!! lcbob says whatever don't kill ya makes ya stronger, well that HA forever took something out of me. That's why I pray so hard when I feel a HA starting. Lord please don't let this one be like that one. And also why I'm so thankful when it's not.
Sorry you had to experience that. Can't imagine anything worse than that.
Take care and rest up,
Luv Ya Guys,
Bob P
