Stymie,
Right on with that sense of humor it helps to be able to smile at least a couple of times a day in the middle of a cycle. Myself, I have had a horrific summer. I had a cycle from late May to second week in June and then the entire month of July and still going. I'm dying for a good nights sleep and the imitrex supply is dwindling. The whole problem with imitrex is like you i suuferes for over ten years without it and now I don't even want to deal with the pain knowing the relief I can get with the imitrex is almost instantaneous. So to you I say good luck and fight the good fight. As for your fun little contest I'll say August 15 will be you first pain free day.
P.S. don't know if you've heard but I used to get alot of relief from a 16 day step down cycle of Prednisone. It was very effective in breaking up the "cluster" effectively ending the cycle. Unfortunately for me it does not seem to be working for me this time but I would definately look into it if I were you. Take it easy.<
