Bless your heart! Have you made any treatment changes that could be prolonging it?

Howdy Dave.
It seems lots of us here are having prolonged , or just plain weird cycles this year. You are not alone.
Hope you get some relief soon.

What meds are you taking.? lorac

Wow Dave! So sorry to hear about your suffering! And based on your screen name, thanks for your service!

Some more questions...
Have you considered a different treatment approach?
Do you use high flow O2 with a good nonrebreather mask?
Do you use energy drinks?
Melatonin?
Hot coffee during hits?
Ice or heat during hits?
Have you read a LOT of the information in this site already?
