Hell Ree, I'm sorry he's back in cycle.
Give him a hug for me....and you too. Hoping it's a short and mild run for him.
Love,
T

jonny~~ I think you would f&^# anything at this point..... yup the guy is a trooper.... we have our moments though where we can't even stand being around each other....i I think thats because we are both the babies in the family and usually get our own way...
This weekend our daughter is camping with neighbors and its a Godsend because of the CH rearing its ugly head on us.... Daves outside working on the deck again this weekend he is afraid to relax I know because he will get hit..... the 02 isn't arriving til Monday which really sux.....Im always so afraid he will die from that imatrex and zomig.....
Thank God for our family here at CH.com because I don't even tell other people anymore.... and you think they would get it after all these years. It just pisses me off so I don't tell them anymore..... they say...."Oh well with all the stress no wonder he is getting headaches".... Or "He should just relax......" I want to scream..... STFU YOU HAVE NO IDEA....RELAXING IS HIS ENEMY RIGHT NOW....!
THANKS FOR THE VENT AND ALL THE SUPPORTIVE POSTS YOU EMPOWER ME TO GO THROUGH THIS WITH ALL THE STRENGTH I HAVE!!! LET'S HOPE DAVE HAS IT TOO...LOVE YOU ALL......REE

um....PARDON?? Ree, please tell me he's not taking both of those? One or the other but never both, honey - you know that. Roxy will kick your ass if he's mixing triptans. And there will be a lineup behind her, trust me.
Don't let Dave go on preventatives, ok? Today marks 8 months in cycle for Mike. Never again will we do the preventatives. Battle each hit with abortives, but no more prevents!
love you, girlie.

Has he ever tried using oxygen. I just tried it for the first time (after 25 years) and it works like a miracle. Good luck.

Hi - I am only speaking from personal experience here but we feel the preventatives (lithium for six months, then added in verapamil because the lithium appeared to stop working) have made my husband's cycle seem to be never ending. He did the lithium pulsing method and it did help for the first four months of his cycle. But then the beast switched sides on him and he hasn't gotten any relief since. Mike used to go completely med free and his cycles were never longer than three months. Three cycles ago, he started using the preventatives - verapamil and lithium. That cycle lasted 6 months. The next cycle, 5 months. This cycle - we're now at the 8 month mark and still going. We honestly do feel that had he gone preventative free and only battled each attack with oxygen/imitrex, his cycle would have ended by now. We've been comparing notes with some oldtimer cluster friends and they've had similar experiences with preventatives. Again, just our opinion.

Ree - so sorry to hear about Dave. Warren seems to finally (cross my fingers) be in remission - after 6 months. His cycles have gotten longer, but so have the remissions. He uses just abortives too - and mostly oxygen. Hoping this will be a short cycle for Dave (and you) - will be thinking about you and saying a prayer!
