Not just damn the beast...damn it to hell and back. I got hit 6 times yesterday.
Three during the day, three at night. At least no one was around to watch except for the last one. I haven't let anyone else in my family (except my husband) see me in the midst of one.
I have the only damn kids that are awake at 3:30 in the morning... I thought they were asleep.
My son caught me bent over, ass in the air, with my head stuck in the under the counter ice maker. (yes mom, I did clean the ice out later). He asked me how much wine I'd had to drink....scared my daughter, she was trying to haul me...flannel pants and all to the ER.
I'd like to know how everyone else handles an attack!
Do you sit and break chair arms....pace...bang walls...cuss...cry...or are you able to face this stoic and with some dignity? Cause I sure as hell can't!!! My son now knows I can imaginatively, out cuss his whole fraternity (he knew I was pretty good before...but not quite in that league). He said at one point I was banging my head on the arm of the couch while rhythmically uttering fuck, fuck, fuck…said it had a definite metronome quality.
I remember doing it…but didn’t even think about it at the time. IS THIS NORMAL? You can hear what people say to you…but it’s like it doesn’t even really penetrate. I was really scared last night. I had tried to tell my kids…I didn’t mean to scare them. We laughed about it later…well, my son did. He wants vocabulary lessons, and asked if he could use the ice machine for hangovers. My daughter still won’t really talk about it.
How are you supposed to feel after these stupid damn things? I always feel like I’ve been hit by a truck (or rode hard and put up wet…but I thought that might cause too many comment…LOL), I’m just exhausted after one. IS THIS NORMAL? It’s driving me crazy…and believe me, that’s not a long trip.

Normal ? - nothing is "normal" when the beast decides to beat the shit out of your head.
After my attacks, I always felt relieved and almost euphoric - "Oh Yeah you rotten MOFO, I beat you this time...." false bravado I'm afraid. He always seemed to pay me back double the next time.
Are there no meds working for either of you? Geez - I wish I could help, but all I can offer is some hope. It DOES go away (for episodics) and I hope and pray you're not chronic. I don't know how they can handle it every day. They are made of sturdier stuff than I.
Hang tough and let me know how I can help.

Roxy: Going to try this again. I was going to send this sooner but I had a visitor, you know who I mean. What your going through sounds familiar. Lately I have been getting hit about 5-6 times during the day + a couple of times at night after I've fallen asleep. As far as what other people do during an attack, I think that everybody develops their own individual routine. I'll pass this alongand it might help you or someone else. At the 1st. sign , I put water on my head and then rub it withan ice cube, then I stand in front of a fan. Lately mine have only been lasting 10-20 min. (what a breeze) I also try to keep my breathing shallow, and from time to time take sudden deep breaths. It seems I have been able to keep pretty good control of them by doing this. I don't get into my pacing and dancing act unless a 9 or 10 develops. Sounds like your getting up into that range. Hope some of this helps you.

My two little dogs Guido and Cleo watch me pace back and forth and back and forth as I talk to myself. I imagine them thinking all kinds of things as a distraction to the pain. Yup, they have concluded I am weird. They haven't asked for a transfer to a more sane household. I'm glad. Pets are a great source of comfort. Doing Cleo a return favor. She ruptured a disk Monday and last night was her first night back from the vet. She can't support herself on her back legs right now but the wife and I hope that things will improve. Cleo and I are taking one day at time.

So...uh...where is that energy? Too many damn fights to feel it, this stinks to say the least.
Damn this beast....can I just keep saying it? I would say damn this beast to hell but I am living in hell now so what good would it do?
I have nothing, not a thing to help with this damn beast (sorry). No preventatives, no abortives....lets not go there. Just my bag of peas that my mom keeps trying to take from me and the nasty coffee, if I am lucky. Alot of good that does me..
Damn beast, gets me going for an hour to an hour and a half, pure torture. There is something besides a Kip 8,9 and 10....damn. 
Coping, yeah right....understanding what a bunch of __. My parents told me yesterday to take it outside, they got tired of the crying and the head banging and the cursing....so the barn it is.....just great.
Afterwards, just want to crash but cant do that...no stinking way...that just leads to another one. Sleep what the heck is that? Damn this beast.
Man, this is one bitter post....sorry....been a bad day.
One more time, damn this beast as he comes again full force....damn it damn it....you get the idea...
Jill
sorry....

I feel your pain, and at times it is normal. I find that soaking my head with very cold water helps. Good luck and keep your chin up.

Domm...yes I'm chronic, but I honestly think after reading for so long on this site, that the one's who are episodic don't have it any better than the chronics. The episodics seem to get hit really hard and intense. Usually, I'll only have two to three a day, and one at night. Those six yesterday were unusual, that only happens about once or twice a month.
Jill...I'm so sorry you are in such pain. Mental and physical. You have a supporter in me...even if it is from a distance. I hope this cycle ends for you soon, just bear with it as best you can...and keep posting...we will be your support.

DAMN THIS BEAST
That's appropriate. I would have added a few more colorful words, but, I guess you feel the need to be polite.
I am sorry that you are having this visit by the Beast. I wish he would get it. He isn't welcome. Never was.
And send your parents to the comforts of the barn while you writhe in agony in the house.
Wishing you all PFDAN

Damn this beast!
Going to start that way for a long time, someone stop me...I am mad...and I do mean mad. I am serious.
Damn it all to hell....my peas are gone. Where did they go? Hell if I know...they are just gone.
Say it again, damn it. We are out of coffee too, no one cares but me. No energy to go buy some, hell have no money.
Can I add some colorful words here....how about...F... no nevermind, dont get me started.
And you mean there is an end to this? Eight months and there will be an end? When? Is that the same time that I see the stars?
Sorry, getting kinda mean here I think...I will shut up now, sorry.
Damn the beast....that is all that I can say....Damn him.
Jill
This makes no sense, sorry...damn the beast, I cant even think...geesh...

Jill, Sorry that that damn beast is still messing with you. Hang in there girlfriend, he's bound to get bored soon and leave.
Roxy, Of course your normal, well around us you are, LOL. I'm sure all of us have acted totally irrational while our brains were getting yanked out. Just imagine us all in one hugh room doing our head banging thing together. Do ya think we would freak the outside world out or what?

I am not sure whether to cry, scream or just not move right now...cant see out of one eye, neck hurts, head is sore, so exhausted....oh what to do...cant sleep, gotta stay awake, sleep only instigates the beast...
Maybe I will just yell again, damn this beast...wait no, cant do that, dont want to get kicked out to the barn again...geesh. Guess that I will just have to say it here, sorry. 
Damn this beast, go to hell, leave me alone and fuck off....oops...sure hate that word...oh well.....
Okay, thats it for now...I wont say it again...oh what the hell....damn this beast.

Hmm....where to begin with that one. It is a messy topic, to me anyways.
Lets see, maybe I should start with preventatives here. The last med that the doc put me on was Indocin, 125 mg aday which did nothing but make me sicker that I already am. I had to stop taking it, it was awful and what was the point, it did nothing. He is on leave now and the temp. doctor wont prescribe anything, so no meds. What does it matter, my doc has no idea what to do now....just great.
As for abortives, I can get those two wonderful imitrex a month but not for much longer. Seems that they think that are addictive and cause more harm than good... yeah right..let them have this pain. Cant get any other abortives, no doesnt like me taking them everyday... says that they arent good for me. You know, somedays... no lets be nice.
So that leads here, tried to get oxygen...you know safest that you can take. Normal doctor said no, temp doctor said yes. So after four hours at the hospital trying to get it, being turned down and being told, no way, I gave up. Then I went home and come to find out, a miracle happen..they were delivering O2 that night...great right? Wait, there is more. My parents told me (they must talk to the one doc), it is not "necessary" and told them to take it back. What could I do, no money to pay for it, just had to watch it leave.......
So here I am, no doc in town, no meds but plenty of damn pain....
I used to have a bag of peas....cant imagine where they went and no more coffee.....what the hell am I gonna do???
Hope that this made sense, my head is so battered that to think at all is a miracle in itself. Damn this beast...sorry wasnt going to say it this time.
Jill
I hate this, damn this beast....

Jill,
I thought Karen T (forget who exactly) got you an oxygen bottle, and I know Not4hire sent you his beloved regulator...what happened to those?
I also know that someone in chat offered you a bunch of imitrex and you refused?
Also...what about Verapmil? Any experience with that?
Just wondering...
