Switching Sides (Read 647 times)

BenjaminThurber CH.com Newbie Offline Cluster Heads of the World Unite! Posts: 22 Planet Earth Gender:	Switching Sides Jun 4^th, 2009 at 5:48pm Hello, I was expecting my CH period to happen, but something else occurred, and I was wondering if it's common. I have always had the attack on the left side, but, this time, I had a sharp beginning on the right side, and the left is only shadowing itself.back on the left side. Is it possible for them to switch sides without any warning?

According to a CH specialist that I spoke to, during one of my trips to Norway, he said it is actually much more common than most people believe.

Sometimes it is a permanent switch, and other times, it is just for that one cycle, and other times, it hits on either side, with no warning as to which side your next hit will be on. I am in that last group.

Basically it is the beast, messing with your mind. Evidently, the beast felt that you were too complacent with the hits on your left side, so he decided to throw that curve ball at you.

The beast likes to keep us on our toes.

CAUTION: Do NOT smoke when using or around oxygen. Oxygen can permeate your clothing or bedding. Wait, before lighting cigarette or flame.

Keep fire extinguisher available, and charged.

Maybe he lives on the right side but goes shopping or visiting on the left side.
