Rock VS hardspot
Dec 6^th, 2008 at 1:29pm

Sometimes nothing works. I had to stop 02 to get some air. There is a limit to everything, except is seems, the number of hits per day. Frustration and anger are the words for today to me. This is just the third month and already I am losing focus. I can hardly look at the puter screen.
This relentless and seemingly never ending pain does get to ones spirit. Hang on and hold on. It will end I know, however that does not alleviate the pain. It does help knowing you all are here. Support from my family here means so much. As I get the knife to the temple I grunt and cuss. I keep going because there is no other choice. It is easier to some extent because I know that Potter will call, Linda is with me at every hit, and Karl is fighting in Idaho. There are so many more I cannot mention all of you but you are all with me.I have friends that have to go through this same thing and they are fighting with their all.
So will I.
I hate this condition so much. Gotta go, I have an appointment with my 02 tank.
Fight on fight on. Go away you no good demon sombitch. Angry

the bb
I feel better now Wink

To bbz and Rolo

I want to throw this out. Guisippi and I and also BobP and I believe Barb all take or have taken cafergot along with our 02. I took suppositories (cut in half but I know others took the pill. What it did for us was give us hours in between hits. We feel one coming on, take a cafergot and jump on the 02. For me it kept them away all day until I woke up in the middle of the night and huffed the 02 again.

It is an old drug and not prescribed much anymore but I know it has cut down on the number of ha's a day for some.

I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

I still use that combo Jimi. For the next go round I'll try seeds (but probably do it wrong) then it will be O2, cafergot and maybe some lithium this time. Be well soon John.
