Hello Everyone

I have Posted in a while due to computer problems. I had to replace the hard drive in my laptop and do a total system reinstall >:( Anyway I am still having the Chs. My doctor prescribed amitryptaline for me and at 50mgs it worked for about a week and I was symptom free. Then the Chs started again. I am getting some relief as I am only having one or two bad ones a day. Imitrex inj are still my main line of defense. I am still waiting to see a neuro.My last doctor left the clinic that I go to to become a teacher so in the ensuing doctor switch my neuro referral was "lost in the shuffle.My new doc ordered the referral again but once again I am waiting. Thats the deals when you have to deal with a state medical agency as I must for my health care. Wishing all PF days and nights. :)

What the Bzz said! Really push hard for the 02, it's a rare day indeed when I have to do the Trex stab anymore as the 02 almost always wipes them out. Good luck with the neuro, they generally give you an appointment date that's 27 years away, and tell you if you want, you can call every day looking for cancellations. DO IT! You'd be amazed how many people cancel appointments and you can get in MUCH faster. Wishing you luck and an educated neuro!

Hi Worst,

Welcome back to your clusterbuddies, and so so sorry to hear you are still/again (?) getting hit by the demonmonkey. Kick some ass right back!

I have to get in line with Thebbz and Guiseppi concerning the O2 recommendation. To me, it does not always help, but that might be coz of my regulator, whom only permits up to 12 lpm. But in any case, it kills a hit nonetheless 7 out of 10.

PF days ahead.

P.S.
I am almost sure that ''get in line with...'' is not a proper English term, but I didn't remember how to translate it accordingly to what I mean. Hope you understand anyway what I mean.
