My last cycle, which ended in Nov. 99, seemed like the intensity was lessened on some attacks.
I've had worse cycles, but that one wore me out more than the previous ones, which I chalked up to age. After so many years, they are just harder to withstand, especially during the phase where you're being hit several times each night, and several more each day! IF I have another however ( I never say when I have another) it could well be altogether different. I'm certainly in no rush to find out!
Another contributing factor may have been meds, my doc tried prednisone taper therapy with me, it didn't seem to work in expected length of time, but I thought it had limited success in reducing the intensity for the duration of the cycle.
Hope something in here helps..bottom line is, who knows? Later....MG
