Getting hit, lately... Weird...
Dec 26^th, 2008 at 11:41am

The past four or five nights, I've been awakened at 1:30 a.m. with a hit that's hard enough to awaken me, but not intense enough to make me grind my palm into my eye, grit my teeth, and begin swearing. Usually, I sigh, get out of bed, grab my smokes, and then head down to the basement/garage to pace a little. After about 20 minutes, my right nostril clears, and with it, the headache.

It's the only hit I'm having... I don't know what to make of that. I don't otherwise feel like I'm in cycle. This is very strange.

I'd suggest you start on whatever your preventive plan is. Don't wait. If it's nothing more than a mini cycle, at least you have your bases covered.

The one thing I think alot of us do, after being PF for any period of time, is to get complacent or downright in denyal.

Please take care of yourself Frank, and get on top of the bastage before he gets on top of you.

I actually started doing a taurine prevent back in late August, because I was expecting my cycle to appear (especially after having Ava). But there hasn't been anything up until last week. I did experience a rouge hit, so I doubled my dose. I swear some try to break through (Phantom ones possibly, along with a change of mood), but they stay away.

Tis the season!

Hi Deb, yes, I took 1 capsule (850mg) once a day before bedtime. Now I currently take twice that.

I didn't know it was a popular name until months after we choose it.

Christmas day was clear but I woke up with a pacer at 4am yesterday. I hope it's nothing Frank... -Dennis-

Thanks, Dennis. It's interesting that I'm not the only one who's having this. I've never experienced this before.

No hit last night, but I had a shadow a couple of hours ago. A week before Thanksgiving, I was having very mild 5-minute twinges, and then... NOTHING! Honestly, I just don't know what to make of this. I'm hoping that this IS my cycle, and that I'm going to just keep on sailing right through...

Still keeping my fingers crossed... I hope you remain pain-free, Dennis.

Frank.... I hear that Heroin is not good for CH. You may want to go another route! LOL!!!

Seriously... I hope this is just a fluke for you. I myself had a couple of strange hits a couple of weeks ago. Since then I have had some shadows and some eye twitching too.

I'll be thinking of you and hoping your days and nights are PF!

FWIW, I've no intention of shooting smack. "Go take an aspirin" really pisses me off, though. (Sorry, Chuck. I know you have a rough time, but there's no call for that.)

Hey, Frank, I did NOT mean to piss you off! I was trying to bring out some of the stupid things that we are told. It was meant as a play on those dumb remarks.

As you and I know, "Take and aspirin" or "Go lay down" or "I had one of those, once" are total false and dumb comments that are made to all of us at one time or another.

It was (I guess) a poor attempt at humor. It is the same sense of sick humor that I took your comment about taking smack. I KNOW you would never do that!

Sorry if I pissed you (or anyone else on the site) off. It was NOT my intention.

I meant it when I said "Luvz ya" to you and most all other suferers here!

Chuck

Shoot - I took two aspirins and it didn't help a damn bit!!! Wink

Thanks a LOT Chuckles!!!! Kiss

Frank, I think it's just Christmas or something. I got hit Chirstmas morning and have been getting hit since then. This morning I feel almost human again. Been real "fond" of my O2 tank since Christmas.

And I think I've been bragging too much lately about being almost PF.

Maybe Mr. Demon just likes Christmas -- at least that's a theory. Got slammed last Christmas morning with a 10 (just in time for Santa). This year I caught it before it got that far, but it messed up Christmas Day for me. Got hit off and on all day.

So today, I'm feeling better and am gonna take down the tree and tell Mr. Demon that Christmas is over -- GO AWAY!!!! Maybe he'll get the message and we can get back to some PF times again.

Wish ya'll the same.

Hugs BD

Hey Frank, you have written my story. I didn't have any attacks from about 1999 to 2007. I did have some periods of minor shadows but no real attacks. Last winter I started getting a nightly wake up call about an hour after falling asleep each night. When spring came the wake-ups went away. Now it is happening this year. Since the weather turned cold I've had at least one wake-up-and-pace-call each night. This morning 2. The first was just enough to wake me and get me up. 20 minutes later I was back to bed. 3 hours later I was up again. This time it was a strong enough attack to have me out on the patio deep breathing the cold air. I sure don't know why they have come back but I wish they leave me the hell alone. I'm getting too old for this crap.

Stay stressed. Never relax. Never sleep. Ever.

I got a present from the Beast: This afternoon, I got nailed with a half-hour hit that had me really aching and massaging my eye and neck. Maybe a Kip-3 or 4? It seemed to come in waves, though. I would think it was going away, and then it would ramp back up. It did this about six times before it finally faded. *sigh* I know I should be hitting the kudzu, but I've been stubbornly resisting...

The week prior to Thanksgiving, I had a bunch of little twinges, and then nothing until about a week ago. Still, I'm only getting hit once a day, if that. If the cycle started in late November, then by mid-January, it should be tapering off.

Still keeping my fingers crossed.
