Hi everyone,
It is 6:45pm Az. time and I finally feel well enough to sit upright and look at this computer screen...I was awaken this morning with the Worst pain to date (and I'm a chronic with attacks topping the charts!!) Honestly, you guys, I think I had a cluster attack with a migraine on top of it!! I thought I was gonna die! With cluster attacks you know how somewhere in the back of your mind, you know its gonna be going away with an hour or so, so that makes it a bit easier to deal with...? Well, today, I could not get a handle on it, and I got scared!! After not being able to puke my guts up(forgive me) or lay down against a cold enough tile floor, hit it with Ice or anything....I thought my number was being called!! I've had it!! Just when for the first time in over a year, I was getting by with very mild attacks, this damn thing hits!! I'm scared...So finally after taking narcotics on top of Advil and literally drowning myself with Ice water and just Zoning out for about 8 hours...I can only feel a twinge of pain left!! Anyone ever had this experience?? Tomorrow, my Doc and I are gonna have a conversation...whether he likes it or not!! Funny isnt it...I've decided today that I will take Cluster attacks over (typical) migraines Anyday!! Sorry for the length of the post! I have hit an all time low..
Be Well~
