Howdy Folks,
I haven't posted in a while, but I have been keeping up on my reading. I haven't had anything to offer the group and I have been out of cycle since Jan. YAHOO!
I have made a personal choice to not post just for the sake of conversation. I'm not critizing anyone please don't let me start another masacre. I just felt like I needed to reintroduce myself, and explain why I haven't been around.
Anyway, I would like to run this one by you all.
I started my fall schedule of Verapamil last month cause I felt the shadows coming. So far so good.
The last couple of days I have been twitching like I have Terets Syndrome (sp) I mean I will be sitting at my desk and my head will just jerk like someone jack slapped me. My wife has always given me a hard time for being very twitchy just before falling asleep, but I've been doing this all day whenver I'm in a sedintary position. Then tonight I'm sitting on the floor playing Candy land with my 4 yr old and I got an ice pick in my temple. It went away in 5 min. but it was that old familiar feeling.
So the short version is has anyone else experienced a connection between Verapamil and twitching, or twitching before a cycle or before a HA. I've had Ch for eight years, and don't recall twitching being present. But I have never started verapamil before a cycle. I Don't know if theres a connection or not. Don't get me wrong if the Verapamil keeps working I will walk around crooning Cock A Doole Doo, and twitching all day long.
Sorry I guess that wasn't so short after all. I'm making up for not posting for a while. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
M
