Title: An old buddy stopped by last night
Post by Jonny on Dec 28th, 2007, 8:12pm
and then again just awhile ago. Same time, same feeling!

After more than 30 years chronic, I am not cut out for this episodic shit!  >:(

02 did nothing both nights, but the Zomig knocked it back. Thank God I never stopped stock pile'ling. I have a years worth of Zomig and Lithium which is great. The thing I have limited is Verapamil, doc told me a year ago that I had to stay on it for HBP......I knew this day would come so I stopped taking it when I was down to a two week supply ( knowing I would have to ramp up till I got to see the doc again)

I just hope the Zomig dont kill me until I get enough Verap in my system (to slow the heart down) and that fuckin 02 better start working or im going kill something.

I dont know how you episodics do it, it was much easier being chronic in my book. Could be that it was just a way of life for me for so long that I got used to it.....I dunno.

Sorry for the long post and the rant, I never did this when I was chronic.

Maybe up the flow of the O2?  Get it up to 20-25 LPM?  

Here's hoping it's just a couple of fluke hits...

Remember...the beast can be a f*cker and mix things up..you've been here all these years..if one thing doesn't work try another!

Don't give up and don't give in.

I could if it was not over a year since I saw the doc, over a year and you have to go in and fill out that medical sheet and see the doc.

My ace in the hole is that this is the doc that diagnosed me, and I have been seeing him for about 14 years......that will get me in to see him in weeks and not months.

((((((((((((((((Vibes))))))))))))))))))  comin your way ;;D ;;D

I think being episodic is harder to bud. I swear the hits are meaner, but like you said, maybe we were just used to them before.

Hang tough, hopefully he'll be gone soon.

If there's anything I can do let me know, you have the number  ;)

>:(  Well, that just sucks, bro.

Call the docs office, and they may call in verap once you schedule an appointment. Especially since you also use it for BP.
You know the drill, sweetie... kick his ass.
hugs, nani   :-*

Well this is just plain shitty. I know what you're going through and I know that it will pass... I also know that you will hang in there... you're a clusterhead and you have titanium balls.

But... knowing all of this does not make it any easier. Jonny... you have my prayers. Call if you want to talk.

with warm regards,
Tony

http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/headhurts.gif Shit. That sucks big time Jonny.

All I can suggest is to try the technique. If you could make it work, everybody would keep at it.

I hope you can find a way around the medical types that treat us like addicts.

Sorry Jonny ... It is easier being chronic -- you always know what to expect. I was hoping he was gone forever from your life. Damit to hell ---

Damn!! :P Sorry he came back.  Here are a bunch of prayers and vibes for you that this was a couple of fluke hits.
After 30 years one would think you have done your time with the beast. Hang in there my friend!!!

I get tension headaches too.

Try not to stress.
Take a few advil.
Deep breathing and a massage may help.

Other than that, hang in there and as you know, we know.

i completely empathize...very easy ride since july with only rare bad hits so ya kinda forget even though it lurks.

When ya get wolloped it scares ya like it didn't when they came daily and frequently. you do habituate the lifestyle.

All the best and if ya need anything drop a PM
