Back after 3 years.
Oct 1^st, 2009 at 11:29am

The beast decided to start paying me a visit about a week ago. At first I thought the small headaches were just the side-effects of the cold I caught from my wife and son, but then I noticed they started to happen around the same time. Two days ago I started to get K7 and K8 headaches right around mid-night. Last night I had it at mid-night and then it woke me up again at 2 a.m. Luckily they haven't lasted over 45 minutes but man am I tired today.

Seems like my cycle kicks in at the start of fall. Hopefully it won't last more then a few weeks like it did last time.

I keep worrying about my little boy, he's 19 months and I'm praying I didn't pass this along to him.....to me that would more painful than anything this damned beast could do to me. Cry

Was able to get into my doctor's office yesterday, although I couldn't see him, I was able to see the nurse practicioner (sp?). She prescribed the Imitrex 100 mg tabs and I was also talking with her about how I read testosterone levels may be a factor for the headaches. So she's sending me to have blood work and a urinalysis done. It'll be interesting to see what my results say.

Sorry, but to me it's a judgment that can't be made. Do we know anything about Marc123 and what his life has been like for the last 3 years? For instance, I too was pf for 3 years and stopped coming here. I started a new cycle recently but am pf again now. This time I have decided to stay to see if I can help others. But during my 3 year break I have been through 3 jobs, have moved several times, have lost evertything I own and regained it again...and there's more. I'm just sayin'...the last thing on my mind was going to the CH forum. So, does that make me bad?
Plus, IMO, some people just aren't made to hang out in forums, chat and help everyone else. Sure, it may seem a bit selfish but we're not all made the same.
I say...glad you know of this wonderful place Marc123 and these wonderful people. For your sake, sorry you're back but welcome. I know you'll find help here.

You just joined in August of this year and you think you have the right to criticize people for not being here? This site is for helping others and there is a great bunch of folks here that do just that. Marc123 is back because he needs support again so quit being a jackass and give him some.

I dont see where the guy even asked for anything. When you are the webmaster then maybe you can decide when its appropriate for people to come and go. As of right now........Your not.

So anyway. I assume you have been CH free for three years? Did you stockpile any meds?

Reply #22 - Oct 3^rd, 2009 at 9:18pm Imagecave's servers dorked out on them. Service has apparently been in and out--which is apparently why the chickadee has been playing hide and seek. I put another image in that I ran through photobucket. Man, we've hijacked this thread with a chickadee. That's gotta be a first. Apologies to Marc123... Best, George
