I'm baaack! It's been nearly 4 years since my last post. Thankfully that means I have been mostly pain free. I accomplished this through rigorous prophylactic verapamil usage before my usual cycle time. Last year I got cocky and decided to forgo the regimen. I had one attack start and tried my first ever imitrex shot and it went away immediately! It completely aborted the entire cycle! So of course, like an idiot, I was cocky again this year. Been in cycle for 10 weeks or so. Thankfully the imitrex still works like a charm to abort individual attacks. Back on verapamil and melatonin now for about a month. Hoping to break cycle in the next 2 weeks. On a positive note, I had become a bit of a beer snob over the last few years. I have dropped 30 pounds this cycle...

Woke up with a full blown about 45 minutes after going to bed last night. 15 minutes on O2 and been pain free ever since. Cant beleive I waited 25 years to discover O2!

Yes, I read the info, it made all the difference!

Of course even my Nuero who happens to be a good one didn't prescribe it correctly and I ended up with a 8 lpm regulator. I bought a 25 lpm online and its been working like a charm. 10 minutes seems to do it for me

Other than the odd 'rogue' one, its been 8 or 9 years for me.   (can't even remember anymore)

I still check-in here every now and then to see how everyone's doing but there's a lot of new people and a lot of people have left.

I wish I knew what I was doing different.   

I just wish EVERYONE could have a long pain-free stretch like mine.

I quit smoking! I believe it may have been the one tangible that fits. I know lots of smokers will want to hang me and say it cant be. My Dad quit smoking and quit getting the CH's. I quit, and I also quit getting them.
