Crazy Abort
Dec 16^th, 2013 at 11:38am

JUST THOUGHT I MIGHT SHARE THIS ONE. I HAVE NO ACCESS TO MY O3 AT WORK SO I KEEP AN ICE BAG AND ENERGY DRINKS HANDY IN CYCLE. TODAY I HAD A WHOPPER BREWING UP OUT OF THE BLUE PER USUAL. INSTEAD OF PUTTING THE ICE ON MY FOREHEAD ON THE CLUSTER SIDE, I PUT IT ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF MY FOREHEAD. DONT YOU KNOW THE BEAST RAN WITHIN SECONDS!!!! I MEAN IT JUST STOPPED DEAD. I DONNO??? IM GOING TO KEEP DOING IT IS ALL I KNOW. NEVER EVEN THOUGHT TO DO THAT AS THE PAIN ON THE CLUSTER SIDE GETS SO INTENSE. Cheesy

All you need is Love.

My hit either dissolved or ramped way down. It's got to be the body pulling the blood from the trigeminal nerve to warm the cold spot. Bottom line..whatever works!

Figure if I can't beat the bastage I can at least confuse it into leaving.

So do you think icing your feet would work when the weather isn't cooperating? This sounds very interesting. I'd love to hear others report in on it. Right now, I am still enjoying the pf aftermath of my second ONB. But I'm thinking ice would be a whole lot cheaper. blessings. lance

All of my cycles have been in the winter or early spring here in the US so I was lucky. This year's cycle was in August so if it was cool at night it did make them calm down a little for the few minutes my feet were cool but definitely did not abort them like when it was truly cold.

If it doesn't abort the hit...at least it feels so good when you were burning up!

I do know ice water in my mouth has aborted shadows or low kip hits. Definitely cheaper!
