Well....let's see....this is my first post and I am so glad to see that there are so many out there like me. My poor husband has been so sympathetic but sometimes just doesn't understand what I'm going through.
I am in the middle of an attack right now. This one started on Dec. 9th and is still going strong. My very first episode was December, 2 years ago...wow, a 2 year remission would be joy right now! I very rarely get an attack in the middle of the day, but do have that feeling in my head (like a tight band) that one could hit at any minute. I didn't know that strenuous activity could help, because I usually just lie in bed and pray to God that they would just go away or that I would die.
I am losing all my patience! I am tired, cranky and begging for any relief I can find! Any additional help would be much appreciated. I am going to try the water treatment (and anything else that might work). I think that just having someone to talk to that understands what I am going through (and that it's not "just pre-menstrual") will help lots!
Thanks for listening!
