115 days in cycle, 3 1/2 weeks out of cycle, and back in again. Unbelievable.

Ouch, hoping this is just a very short cycle and you're soon back to being pain free.

Mike,

Could just be a last round for the beast if he felt cheated from the previous cycle. Meaning if you broke the cycle with preds or whatnot. at least thats what im hoping for in this case.

I too am sorry for you. While I'm certain that break was welcome, be careful it did not lull you out of your combat mindset. My concern at this point, apart from the pain of beastly hits, is the depression that is likely to come. I'm trying to say, you were set up. Yup, I'll give the beast some anthropomorphic qualities, and in this case, it was hiding just long enough for you to let down your natural defenses. Gear back up and don't give in to the depression that is sure to come knockin', OK? Blessings. lance

Yes, Lance. Completely agree. Depression was the first thing that hit the night the pain came 'a knockin' on the way home from work. That shock hit my head, the pain ensued, and the torturous drive home left me feeling like I just wanted to die, thinking "oh, no not again. Not so soon". I'm back to 200mg of Topomax, and it seems to be doing the trick this time, luckily. Still doing the 10,000 IU daily of D3, and still have my arsenal of Sumavel, which I dipped into during the first week. I ran a 10 mile race on Sunday, which left me feeling great for a few hours with the extra Oxygen uptake. I also met a fellow potential CH'er, my neighbor. She is close to DX. Symptoms are identical. It's scary. I might stop drinking the local water......
