Hey Everyone.
Thanks for the kind words. Spent most of today at the hospital. Had them knock me out. Came home about 4pm and slept some more. Feel a lot better now.
For those who asked what type of treatment I'm on, here it is. Unfortunately, I am one of those that nothing seems to help in preventing the "monster". I do not take Imitrex due to the fact that it doesn't seem to work anymore. It did at first, but then the headache would come back within an hour. I've been on just about every drug, with no lasting results. I am one of those who just have to deal with it or get blasted on narcotics. My last cycle, the water thing seemed to help, but not this time around. I have been doing this since I was about 15-16 years old. I'm now 33. Just about half of my life. When they first started they told me it was hypertension and sinus. My father also suffered from these for the majority of his life. He was Chronic, I'm episodic...so far. I'm also recently in remission from cancer.
So that's my history in a nut shell.
I know I have a long haul ahead. About another 2 months of this. I'm feeling strong now because I've finally had some sleep. That doesn't mean I won't be a wimpering baby in a couple of hours, but I'll deal with that when it comes. I'm just greatful for the sleep I've gotten.
Thanks again to all of you!
Marcus
