Well, I had 15 attacks yesterday and just after the last one at 3:30am I decided to brave another attempt at sleep. I've only been able to sleep in 20 to 30 minute intervals all inturpted by a full blown attacks for the past 9 or 10 days. (Which is about Normal for me) I operate just fine on 1.5 to 2 hrs. total sleep each night.
I got a gallon ziplock baggie full of crushed ice and put it in the cooler by my bed and some how I was able to sleep from 4am until 9:15am, when I was awoken by my demonic friend, The first attack of the day passed in 25 minutes under the cold water and so far so good.
I have this inert ability to say the wrong thing at the right time to upset people, I know a great deal about the syndrome from my vantage and as I have said prior to finding this list I have never met anyone with the CH problem. So let me apologize in advance if I step on any ones Ganglia! I'm not doing it intentionally. Sailpappy
