I'd rather have the full CH for 30min-1hr.  Shadows suck and having them constant is a bitch.
 
Sorry you're hurting Casey Sad

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I think I would opt for 30 mins, I have been having shadows for weeks  with a few  full on each day and night,They dont last too long, but with the shadows as well you just dont have the strength  to cope.
Sending you a hug and hope you feel good soon.

Thanks for all your thoughts and well wishes.  Shadows suck, and CH sucks.  It all sucks.  Sunday television sucks.  
 
I agree...I think I would rather have the attack and get the thing over with...until the next one.  The shadows just seem to never end.
 
You ever played "What would you rather?"  Taking two opposit choices, each of equal undesirability, and forcing a choice between the two.  Like, would you rather eat a gallon of mayonaise or a gallon of mustard?
 
Can you tell that I am bored as hell?

I would rather have the mustard too.  Mayonaise is only good in small quantities, and ketchup is for fries and burgers only.  
 
Anybody else got a good what would you rather?  It started off as CH specific...

I'd have to say shadows.  At least I can function...
 
And mustard.  That would be hard, but mayo alone is just weird.  I have to taste it at work sometimes - just mayo on a spoon.  Ick.  I love it on sandwiches though!
 
I hope things get better for you Casey!

Well, if I had nuts... I might take that in place... hard to say... but a gallon 'o mayo for shure.  
 
Just call me shadow girl... I have a constant shadow these days, even when there is no sunlight...  I feel like a vampire. I just never know when the shadow will become real, and I have to use my precious Zomig, a constant source of anxiety. But looks like here it comes finally. Try to deny, but it just don't work... force of will means nothing for this damn head. Sad
 
I've been posting lots, trying for distraction. The distraction is good, but it doesn't stop the onslaught.  
 
And yeah, TV sucks tonight.
 
gotta go get the heating pad on my head. thanks for listening!

well, that was horrible, 10+, the worst since I started the meds 9 days ago. I was starting to think I was overreacting. sigh. at least it was almost 24 hrs since the last hit.  
 
so much for the miracle drug (zomig spray), didn't work for over an hour, and perhaps it just didn't work at all. Maybe I waited too long.  
 
Guess it's time to start the imitrex injections... at least the insurance will pay since it's a new script. And yes, I will ask the doc about O2 tomorrow. You all give it good reviews for a reason. I'm a little slow sometimes.  
 
I can now say definitively, shadows all day long, no ch, thank you

I get shadows every night starting around the same time so I'm kinda used to now. I guess I'd live with severl hours of them then take a hit. I still panic when the hit starts to buil (5 min most of the time) My hits are kip7-10 most of the time and I get one every night somtimes more.  
Hell it's 3:00 in the morning now and the only reason I responding to this is because I'm recovering from the nightly hit that wake me up. a few more hours and I can go back to bed.
This is getting so old... Cry

(Not sure how to do the quoting thing yet...)
 
I work for the company that makes Hellmann's.  My coworkers handle complaints, so it means we have to taste random things.  Since you can't get a true idea of the flavor when it is mixed with something, we eat mayo from a spoon.  Tasty, huh?  And no, I'm not paid enough!   Wink
