There went any credibility that you might have had.

All of a sudden, you change your story.

Good luck with whatever you may or may not have. I am done with any of your posts.

thats what I thought you meant. Absolutely, the shadows can be constant. Never 3 weeks for me but I wouldn't deny it happens. I'm just joining this discussion but I agree with whoever said get some oxygen. You can't go wrong here. There is nothing like having to pick and choose which attacks to abort when all you have is imitrex. Thats when you start to lose it mentally. Keep trying to find that magic bullet. Now I'm off to take my magic bullet now

Ka: Then it's a shadow.

For me it is like a vicious circle. My attacks almost always start when I lay down and lack of sleep always causes them. So it's like - I go to bed, have an attack and can't sleep whole night because of it. I fall asleep at like 5am and if I have to wake up early, I sleep for only 3 hours or so and it's very presumably that I will have at least one attack around noon (which doesn't happen normally). OK - I aborted it or didn't have it - so I want to sleep a bit afternoon. I am very tired and sleep, not able to do anything so I lay down and... I can't fall asleep because another attack starts. Yes, I feel fucking awesome then. Can't sleep, can't do anything because I am so exhausted...

I smoke...alot 2-3 packer a day. Undecided

I haven't read the whole thread, but try quit smoking. I did 3 years ago and my CH's have reduced from 7 straight weeks to 2. It was almost an instant trigger. I just recently learned of caffeine being ok to drink. I use to cut that out completely, but now I drink coffee and energy drinks thought the bouts. I just stand clear of alcohol, smells, and food loaded with MSG.

Chuck and Potter-

That's a very childish remark to give someone who is trying to figure this all out- pain is pain...PERIOD. Be done with my posts, that just shows your lack of knowledge to really understanding CH, and how one sufforer varies from the next. And to humiliate someone who is suffering- that's a whole new level of LOW. I know many people on here would agree with me on that. Smiley

Now that there is almost funny if it wasn't so absurd. KA, Cluster Chuck almost more than anyone here has more experience in the pain of CH as well as all the reasons, treatments etc. of this condition. I've personally watched him get hit every hour all day long. If he only has a day with 5 to 6 hits...he calls that a GOOD day.

There was never a foot in there to begin with.....If I'm getting off to a bad start with someone...that is because they do not understand. Like many of you..I'm trying to wrap my brain around this CH myself, hell yes I'm in pain constantly for 3 weeks the headache does not go away...the flare ups where I'm rocking and nautious happen about 2-3 times a day. But when I say I'm in pain constant for 3 weeks...that's the damn truth, and this is not a place where people can pass down judgement upon others. I've been dealing with this for 15 years myself.

p.s Chuck and Potter: did I change my story? NOPE.

No one is minimizing your pain. I can say three weeks is a short episode, and 2 to 3 times a day is not alot. One is too much. Read all of the links on the left again and get caught up on the lingo. It will help you to be more succint. Had you known what a shadow was you would have put it that way and all would have understood clearly. It is important to be clear in your description. You did not change your story but there are discrepancy's.

I did not know what shadows and kip's were, or the "lingo" to use on here. Doctors do not give me that good info. They just give me prescriptions...smile....and say see you next month. I may try smoking some vegetable leaves from my garden ...all of the meds are just too dang expensive.

OK, Kimberly, I will give you the benefit of the doubt, for this one. In the beginning of the post you said you had the pain 24/7 for weeks, constant, implying that it was of the same level the whole time. THEN you said it was not constant level of pain. It sure looked like you were changing your story.

I apologize if I was overly harsh with you, but we work VERY hard to protect fellow sufferers from quacks and wanna-bes that seem to come on here every so often. We don't want anyone (especially the newer sufferers) to get the wrong information or be led astray by some on-line fraud.

I am sorry.
