Ok, once again it's been 24 hours since the last one. And that was only a kip 7...hey it could've been worse. I think this decrease in attacks may have much to do with my increase of the dosage of Verapamil, as well as the decision to take it twice a day, and not all at once. Whatever the reason, I pray that it continues. Imitrex and Lidocaine no longer work. We'll see what happens. A little response to Todd's "Why?" post as well. IMHO that kind of pessimissm serves no purpose here. I understand you're angry. We all are. But to say that all treatments will lose power eventually, and all that other stuff...that's being extreme. There are people who have gone into long term remission because of these treatments. 12 years in one instance, because of Verapamil. So really, let's try to KTSSU. I'm not ready to give up. Never will be. I will see the cure for this terrible syndrome in my lifetime. Even if I have to find it myself. =)
