Hello!!
Does anyone else suffer from severe tiredness after an attack?
I'm currently not on a any specific medication except ibruprofen, so i really have to suffer through the pain - causing me to feel extrememly weak and tired for the following day.
Have my first appointment with a neuro in two weeks - so pleased as i've been battling with several doctors for a while, and have finally got what i wanted!
Also, the people who inject Imitrex, can i askwhere you inject?
Sorry for all the questions!
Edwina

I agree. CH is exhausting. It was such a relief when it went. With me, it felt like it drained out of my head and that relaxed me. 
Drink lots of water or juice afterward. Just an idea.
Enjoy your nap

It takes an incredible amount of energy to deal with pain. After an attack I'm wiped for about 30 minutes.
Charlie's right. Large amounts of water and juice.

The tiredness is one of the things that gets to me the most! I work in Money market Settlements in a bank and am hopefully coming to the end of my cycle - but i am really struggling, i constantly feel drained and tired.
My boss isn't aware of my situation, not 100% sure whether to tell him or not - i only ever get attacks when i'm asleep, so they're very unlikely to see me at my worst at work?!

Yes. I am always exhausted after an attack. Like Don said, it takes a tremendous amount of energy to fight the beast. --TomM--

Yep. Wiped out. Drains outa you and you MELT. I kinda don't like that time cuz start to feel good again and then WHAMO! Anudda hit. But that feeling when it is leaking out is a good feeling and many times (for me) it feels almost like a natural high kinda thing. Jelly. i've tried to explain this to people and they look at me funny. Oh well.
Enjoy the relief. Just don't get TOO comfy.......... 
Well wishes, Kim

Like Kim, for me coming down from a bad attack is like a natural high.
Still amazes me that one moment I am whimpering and hanging unto my sanity (such a it is) and the next I coolly get up and start doing the washing.
The tiredness comes long afterwards and if they are nigh attacks I am a bit frazzled in the morn. That's all.

Depends when it happens.
If it happens at 9pm, immediately after the beast disappears, I am somewhat euphoric and wide awake for about 1 hour.
If I am woken up by the beast, I am very tired afterwards but going to sleep often attracts another within a short period of time.
When you wake up with a kip 10 at 3am, it hangs around for 2 hours, go back to sleep at 5.30am and wake up at 6.00 am with another 2 hour kip 10, you're ready to cut your head off.  
After the follow up one, I am exhausted for the rest of the day.
Thank God that only happens about 3 or 4 times a cluster cycle...
My wretched times are 9pm and 3am to 4 am.
Sometimes during the day, I feel fantasticly awake with an incredibly clear head. This is a sign I am in big trouble later that night.
