Just a random rant post here... the beast has been back after a while at bay, or at least beaten into submission by meds.  Verapamil doesn't seem to be doing the trick.  I've been using a lot of imitrex lately.  I just got a new larger 02 tank, so that should help.  I also tried Hawaiian Baby Woodrose, but it made me really trip out and not feel good for about 18hrs... maybe it'll help.  We'll see.  I am trying non ER verapamil and prednisone now too, so hopefully something will kick in soon and bring it back to earth so I can get back to a normal life and try to salvage what I can at work which has been largely abandoned as of late due to this beast. 

Anyway... that's my middle of the night rant while Im up dealing with this shit.  THanks for reading and understanding I needed to vent.

Sorry to hear of your pain. Damn those night hits! Sometimes a good rant helps huh.
Hoping you find relief soon!
