They are gone now!

I stopped taking the Vearapamil last Friday and I haven't had any re-occurances as of yet. I think they are gone for this cycle.
One thing I am sure of, The next time it comes, I will go straight to my Dr and get the Prednisone and Verapamil combo.
I suffered needlessly this cycle and knew better, but i just hated the side-effects. No way will I go through that again!
Thanks all, I will visit from time to time to offer my support and limited knowledge.

Patrick, please ignore the post above mine the man is a pot stirrer, his advice is pretty far out there!!!
So sorry you had a bad bout. They suck. Do stick around, you have more knowledge just from your personal suffering then you probably realize. Many times people just need the ear of someone who really understands their pain, clearly you know about that!!
Wishing you a lengthy remission!

Hi Patrick. Glad to hear you might be out of cycle. I am 30 days today since my last Verapamil. NO HITS!! 
Re: the meds, I have 2 scripts from my Neuro, 1st one for a Pred. taper, and the 2nd for Verapamil, and most important all o2 tanks full! If and when my cycle starts again I am 1/2 a mile from my Pharmacist, my script is ready without having to make an appointment to see a Doc, I will have my meds in minutes.
Enjoy your PF time!

Patrick, I am not a pot stirrer. I am geuinely interested in your case as everyone else's.
When you say you hate the side effects and "No way I will go through that again" ...what are you talking about?

Great news Patrick! I hope you do stick around. We need people here that are out of cycle to give encouragement and provide support.
Oh and...Pay no attention to the idiot. If he had done half as much reading on the topic as he's spent telling everyone else about it, he'd already know.

Don't EVER tell me you're interested in my case, buttmunch. There are 3 people who are interested in my case: Me, my wife, and my neuro.
The people here - my chosen family - are interested in ME.
God, that kind of shit pisses me off.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs

And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer

Patrick, one more thing I have learned here and that is never let your guard down. I am out of cycle for now and will enjoy every minute of it but I will still keep my portable o2 in my car and my full "m" tank at home, just in case!
Please stick around even out of cycle, some other's need your advise and support.

Awesome Patrick! I'm so happy for you
You don't HAVE to go now that you're out of cycle. There are plenty of others who could use your support, and we always have a spare oar. Besides, we kinda like ya.
Hugs,
Jen

Uh yea man. My neuro had me injecting the Prednisone on a 7 day taper and I was snorting 240 mgs of Verapamil a day. So as you could well imagine, There were lots of side effects.

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.

Congrats Patrick. Tis the time of year when a lot of us episoders limp across the finish line. As a postmenopausal woman, I seem to have developed a mild chronic pattern in addition to the episodic (us girls are quite the multi-taskers). This cycle has been more worser than any.
I have been PF for about 5 days. Don't trust it yet. Removed the clonopin, not sure when to stop or taper Verapmil. Of course I never let the O2 bottle out of sight. Hopefully I will soon be in the care of a "thorough" neurologist. Am "firing" my regular doc soon, am interviewing a couple of others to see how they operate.
I guess some of the other responses went over my head but who am I to complain. Y'all have gotten me through a rough winter.
