Have been acute/chronic for 22 years and have been tried on everything in the PDR except leeches, all to no avail. The only thing that helps when they hit is an IV injection of DHE-45(try to hit a vein with swollen eyes). In the wee hours this morning "HE" came to visit, and "HE" was not in a good mood. Had my shot ready and made a good clean stick. 45 minutes later (at 8+), took another shot (not a clean stick). 50 minutes later, a third shot (a miracle I hit my arm, much less a vein). 2-1/2 hrs into the attack something felt different (10+ now). The pain was going from 0 to 10 and back. A couple of minutes later, there was no pain, only it wasn't a couple of minutes, it was 3 hrs! For the 3rd time in 22 years I hit an 11 and simply blacked out. It was a blessing in disguise, 'cause it was pretty rough and I was just hangin' on by a thread. Thank God for 11(anyone else out there ever hit an 11?). Hope you all had a little better Christmas than I did (3-5/day). God bless you all.
