Yesterday was a great day, until about 9:00. :'(
I went all day without taking immitrex, and was feeling great. I actually thought I may be at the end of this, stupid me.
One came on at 9, and lemme tell you guys, it was a real humdinger. The pain was so intense, by the time i had taken the medication it had already become full blown. There was no stopping this one. I curled up fetal position in the bed, rotating Ice/heat pad, punching the bed, crying, got up pacing, went outside, threw up the other half of trex i had taken 30 minutes prior.(seemed to make things worse)I was completely stopped up on one side. The "why me" had set in real well by now. Around 11:30 I felt the immitrex start kicking in a little, and made it somewhat bearable. The relief would last about 15 seconds until an excruciating wave would come around and hit lasting around 3-4 seconds or so. I realized there was nothing i could do, so I just laid there, kind of inviting the pain in a disgusted way.
This went on until after 12, when I finally just passed out/blacked out. Not sure if what i had was a rebound headache or what.
So it's back on the immitrex for me. Which kind of sux, because I really wanted to give busting this thing a try this weekend.
Also, I want to say how great it is to be able to explain this in a forum where people understand. the wife was really worried about me last night, and was wanting to carry me to the ER. She's seen me go through these before, although it's been a few years. Not many people can understand the pain associated with this, and i wanna say thanks to the ones that allow me to vent about this awful bas..rd.
