Tempting the Beast
Sep 17^th, 2009 at 5:50pm

Shouldn't do it!

I mentioned on a few threads yesterday that this current cycle was unlike any I had ever had before because it was so light. Only 1 CH per day, only K4/5 and never at night. I was feeling very fortunate indeed! Havn't needed any treatment at all.
Well, I shouldn't have opened my big fat mouth. Last night I got hit hard right after I went to sleep. Then again every time I got back to sleep. 5 in all. It was quite the rough night. All K7 and up too. Have had 3 more so far today.
The Beast says, "don't mess with me!" Ok, back on the Kudzu, Taurine & Melatonin plus stocking back up on the O2.
Angry

Man I hate the Beast! Thanks for letting me rant!

Read it, thanks! I'll give it a try. I actually had very good luck last night with 12mg of melatonin. The taurine is working on the shadows so far this am too. We'll see!

You should have at least knocked on wood feverishly for a few minutes after having said that! Cheesy

CH according to Bejeeber:

Strictly relying on doctors for CH treatment is often a prescription that will keep you in a whole lot of PAIN. Doctors are WAY behind in many respects, and they are usually completely unaware of the benefits of high flow 100% O2.

There are lots of effective treatments documented at this site. Take matters into your own hands, learn as much as you can here and at clusterbusters.com, put it into practice, then tell this CH beast Jeebs said hello right before you bash him so hard with a swift uppercut knockout punch that his stupid horns go flinging right off.

You're right. Learned a tough lesson with that one for sure. What a strange cycle. Started a routine yesterday that has worked for me in the past. Kudzu & Taurine. Usually take 9mg's of melatonin before bed bad after the rough previous night I decided to take 12 mg's. Went to bed fearing the worst. Next thing I remember it was the next morning. No CH's! Then just a few shadows today. My routine has worked before but never that fast! (knocking on wood now!). I've always been so predictable but I don't know what the hell is going on this time. Oh well, hoping for more success tonight!!! Grin

Ah man W-man, I hear ya bro! I've done this "tempting" thing before and for some reason the beast knows.
I usually give him a week and then I do the beer test to be sure he has left. I'm stuck at the moment without O2 and I can't do abortives because i'm gobbling up seeds tomorrow night to give that bastard a go blow to the face

Sigh, yes, sounds so familiar. Just when you have a routine that consistently works....

This is why I think it's practically critical to have contingency plans well researched and ready to put into action. Oh sheesh why did I go and say that? Beast now preparing to defeat bejeeber's contingencies

I believe i'm in the same boat. I went 4 days cluster free and med free. I got to work this morning with
a slight so called sinus pressure pain which ended up being shadows and turned into a K5 at work without meds. So I left work and as soon as I got home, the beast left. Now, i'm back at work feeling great with my meds (just in case). I'm just hoping this was a random hit at the end of a cycle. I will never assume again that i'm in remission and I will NEVER EVER come to work w/o meds.
