well, i'm doing better. I started my cycle of CH on monday,
and they were coming fierce.. 5 attacks a day. I read on this thing
about the water thing, so i decided to brave it, use no meds and "see"
if it would work. Well, i drank so much water for 2 days and i had
NO ATTACK last night... not one! And by this time of day, i usually have
had a fierce one (i break the pain with my beloved 02 tank)... but pushed
on with water... and by golly, by george, i think i got it! No attacks..
not one. I just feel fuzzy and think i took off 6 pounds going to the
bathroom every thirty minutes. I will still push the water and see if they
totally disapear. Last night, i tired MELISSA suggestion... did Oxygen right
before bed, in addition, opened my window to let more pure oxygen in natrually,
put two heat pads on... and i slept all the way through till 6 am.
Honestly, at 6 am, my head felt kinda tingy like it might start. So, i went on
my oxygen for awhile... so it could also be the reason i've had no attack.
whichever, whatever... also, i started taking some vitamins cause my body always
gets sick after a season of attacks... so i read that here too.
thanks.. i know i'm a nusuance writing in so much. but i read so much and
learned so much. Hopefully, Water X3 or MELISSA's suggestion of Oxygen regardless
before bed time is making a HUGE difference.
love to ya all! sonya
