Title: Random headaches
Post by Argonaut on May 30^th, 2008 at 5:35am

Does anyone get random hits between cluster periods?

I'm not in a cluster period at the moment but I find that I'll get times when I'm hit for 2-3 days in a row between PF moments.

Just wondering if this is common?

I call them 'wild-cats' and hate them with a vengeance. It's the fear factor, for sure.

I get random hits all the time. No rhyme or reason to them. 5 minutes or so on the 02 knocks them out. When 02 isn't available, I'll slam an energy drink, if that doesn't take care of it, it does give me some time to get to the 02.

PF wishes to you,

I think it's pretty common for episodics to have attacks between cycles. I know that I do. Although for me, it's not two or three days in a row--more like a couple each month with days or weeks between them.
I don't usually keep O2 around when out of cycle, but my random hits can usually be put down with ginger tea, or a combination of strong coffee and extra strength tylenol.
