Hi everyone, When the beast returns for me and a new cycle begins, before I can get my rx for O2 I apply an ice pack to my head and face. The beast finally goes away after about 30 minutes. I don't know if I'm freezing the pain away or if the nerves are constricting in way, but it's the only thing I can do besides go crazy because I can't stand the pain. Has anybody tried this? Also my Dr. once gave me a list of food sensitivites. Some were to stay away from red meat, alcohol, aged cheeses, & EQUAL. During my last cycle 2 years ago I cut out the equal and it broke my cycle. Don't know if it was coincidence or not. Does anyone know of any other foods to stay away from?
