Thank-you Thank-you.....Yup, today I am great !!! No HA again...this is almost as scarry as when it started...you know, hoping for no more. *saying a prayer *crossing my fingers *knocking on wood Rich stopped the vicodin(for his broken back).then he started taking benadryl every night it seems to be keeping it at bay. Or is it going away now ?? Hmmmm makes us wonder Does anyone know of a pain med. that doesn't contain tylenol or asprin ? Cootie, How has your husband been since he came back? you said you have learned alot here. I have also learned more here in the last month then I think any Dr. has ever learned on CH. my Dr. was greatful for the info. take care and goodnight

Hi Rain, Not sure why you're asking about over the counter pain relievers, because they really won't do much for a cluster....but you could try ibuprophen. It's contained in Advil and Motrin - you can also get it generically. I really hope Rich's cycle is ending too. Be prepared, however, for the beast to take a swift and dirty kick at him again before it leaves completely. That's quite common for cycles ending. We get lulled into a false sense of security and then *WHAMMO*, it comes back with a vengence before it leaves for good. Don't mean to scare you, just don't want you to get completely discouraged if this happens.

Rain.......since he came back....I missed sumthin there....what did ya mean....sorry....not sure what ya ment so leme know oh-tay ? But he's been doin good since his cycle is over....his CH's hit him pretty hard at first and I'd mentiond before he thought it was sinus and none of us wanted to even think the CH's were back after almost 3 years...but after the second day he knew they were back. I've learned alot on here about doses and what not to try if what he is doin works and risk switching and gettin hit hard again....plus we've learned thru the many years that pain meds don't work...there's exceptions of course but would imagine it'd have to be knock out stuff....but over the counter stuff don't do 'Jack'. He started poppin advils this last episode thinking it was sinus and he had some sinus goin the week before as it was....that stuff can really mess up yer stomach if ya get to takein as many as he was at first. I've learned how disruptive these episodes are to family and work...life changes dureing episodes drastically around here !!! Used tho think it was odd all he'd wanna do is talk about them HA's he got all the time.....but found out they rule sometimes and part of it. So the more I learn on here about them the more I can add to the conversation and help him understand and even maybe some new ideas....whatever....I've learned alot about what not to do dureing the cycles with foods and alcohol also....seems we did everything wrong this episode. It lasted about 6 weeks.....started out with several Ch's a day then they lasted shorter lengths and not as often....then he'd get the shadows constanlty....then they slacked off......then he'd get up around midnight several nites for about a week fearing one was comeing and that slacked off....and he's PA for now but we both know that can change fast so early at the end of the cycle. Hope some of this helps you.......thanks again all......cootie >^..^<

Cootie, Sorry about that..what I was talking about was...after your hubby's camping trip..has he been pain free? I think about how all our lifes are connected in a terrible sort of way *pain* I know how I pray that the CH is gone now for my Rich ..and as we write others are suffering... I can't help but think of them and wish for a miracle for all of them. as well as those supporting them.. I am so tired tonight. take care everyone

Thanks, Rain. Mike seems to be in a pattern now of 2-3 year remissions, but it does seem like his cycles are longer now. We just play the hand we're dealt.

Rain........Yes Brad came back from his huntin trip PF...I kinda figur'd that's what ya ment when ya asked about him. He had a great time with best of buddies and no attacks. He's been gettin stuff done around here and goin huntin in the mornin's and took today off to work around the garage and house.....so life is returning to normal "for now"....but in back of our heads we all fear a CH return yet.....holiday stress is good for that. I told him this mornin so far I haven't gotten any of our 'family assignments' and he laughed !! (be here and be there by this time or that...no excuses typea stuff I hate..no consideration to our schedule or maybe like to have some time at home for a few hours !!) I sound selfish don't I...I'm sorry !!?? So far so good with the CH's....good luck to you and everyone else on here....Your great.....and ya have all had ta read all my rambling and pissin and moan'n at times...not to mention whinein !! Nice to have a place to hide !!! Thanks......cootie
