    Your thread, so here is Anatoly

    I always have time for animal chat! CH is as serious as it gets so diversions are always welcome! I spend entirely 2 much time thinking of when my brain will try and kill me next so thanks for sharing the pictures I really enjoyed them. Especially the one with both kitty's snuggled up:wub:

    Yep, that would promote a trip to other parts from me too. 

    Your thread, so here is Anatoly. In the sleeping one, I have ruffled his fur. It will stay that way till stroked back down. It Is SOOOO plush! And him with his house bro, Fuzz, my hubby's mutt that we adore!! It shows the difference in 'grey'!! That is the Blue part of the name showing and the guard hairs are showing the sparkle on his face in that shot. His eyes will get bright green in the next few months too! In the profile, you can see the straight nose with no stop. Reminds me of an Egyptian cat!

    My first riding adventures were on that pony. I was bucked off more than once. Then there was the day she let me ride, cause we were headed to the red clover field. When we got there, she decided to get a lick of salt and I almost lost an eye on the metal roof corner. I was not even school age yet! Also the first time I saw my father run! Left the pony in the field and ran to the truck. That was the day that I found out there is another door into the doctors office!!! :wacko: You know, for when you have blood running down your face through the dish towel Daddy smacked up there and told me to hold!! They don't want you to scare the other kiddos. Hey, it was body temp and I had no idea I was bleeding all over!  We lived over 30 minutes out of town too. Four stitches and I was all set with an ice bag on it. 

    I have been wanting to see up close picks of your new fur baby! He is a stunner! I have always loved the Russian Blue and initially thought if I were to get a playmate for Bosco that I would get a Blue. Turns out Bosco is a one-man-band and just doesn't get along with anyone...

    Aww the horse memories that story brought back.. Glad you still have two peepers!

    little love for horses due to owning a pretty little Shetland named Princess. She thought she was 'queen' and I was dirt! ;)

    LoL Spiny trust me I know the feeling! Shetlands, quite contrary to belief can be nasty little brats. As can all breeds but Shetlands have little man's disease! I also had a Paint mare named Princess she was beautiful, sky eyes (clear blue) and super flashy. She tried to kill me one 2 many times so I sold her for a fraction of what I bought her for. My last straw with her was the woosh of her hoof narrowly missing my face!

     If so we should all sign up for some rodeo bull riding. And heck maybe your mare could tell you were shadowing and was just doing you a solid

    Something about asking for forward and getting sideways bunny hops just gets the ticker ticking... She may have also felt my mood and was reacting to it as horses are very know to do...I was actually tired by the time she started behaving so maybe it was the excercise and heart rate combo... it is strange but the last few real attacks were so unexpected because I was super clear...

    Most of my attacks come when I am void of shadows. I know shadows have been a warning sign of sorts for many CH sufferers and at times myself as well. I've been pretty vocal on here about my constant problems with shadows but I've noticed that over the last few years I get hit more times when I'm clear than when I have decent discomfort from shadows.. I know this is back assward but... ? I have been having spikes here and there for the last week and some change (not attacks) just a single spike here and there. The spikes are the same for me pain wise as an attack but they are not followed up by a succession of spikes. I felt awful today shadow wise but decided to force myself to ride.. My mare was awful and made my heart race a few times by offering to buck. Maybe the upped heart rate kept me clear I dunno.. Food for thought I guess...

    And the 'plan' is to keep on keeping on. 

    Yep.. Good advice as always. Strange little bugger the cluster bunny is.. Guess he just doesn't care that no one wants thunder eggs in the winter... or summer for that matter:unsure:

    What Darren said. :)

    I would bet that your diligent, all out preventive efforts this year have paid off royally and indeed are responsible for preventing (or tamping down in a major way) the expected cycle. Huge cause for celebration, and something I personally admire greatly! 

    My hope is as you approach your normal CH cycle end time coming up real soon here, you'll go free of all symptoms, including shadows, and feel freer from the grip, with less dread, if you experience that (while keeping your arsenal and contingencies ready to go at a moment's notice of course).

    As far as what to expect for cycle timing now.....sorry but I kind of went into an "all bets are off" regarding cycle timings a good while back, considering this bit that is so common:

     ...but I believe that with your level of determination and vigilance you could continue to prevent lots and lots of more cycles all in a row. :D

    Aww jeeb thank you. I know there is no solid answer to my question and I so appreciate you being so kind.  I just revert to my old scared self from time to time and your words were just what I needed. I  had a few spikes today and just got scared. I dislike how I allow it to shut me down and I'm working on that. Thank you for the positive influx..

    I hear you, and agree 100%. It's especially frustrating when you think you have things like timing, or treatments sorted out after finding a pattern, or having success with something; only for it to completely change / not work on the next cycle. I think we can all relate to that. I do think that maybe / hopefully the D3 and busting might have helped you though. Maybe it's a sign of easier times to come as well!

    Nicely said Darren.  Thank you for taking the time to respond to me..

    That said...it definitely could be milder because of the things that you mentioned. So, enjoy the time, but, don't let your guard down. Fingers crossed for you!

    Thank you @Darren I suppose I'm just trying to keep trying.. if that makes any sense at all..I get tired just like we all do and hope is sacred. I wish this affliction was more like math but it's simply not. Math was never my good subject but at least it has set rules.. uff anyhow thanks for the well wishes.

    Cycle Bypass Question...

    in General Board

    Posted

    Just wondering if there is any way to know weather or not a cycle that you somehow bypassed will stay gone for one’s normal clear time?
    I am trying to figure out the best way to articulate my question and all I can think to do is a quick outline.

    Normal cycle start: Late July or early August

    Normal cycle end: Mid- October early November

    Normal cycle experience: One to two attacks per day lasting from two to four hours with no more than two days attack free

    This year: One major 4.5/hr. attack July 3rd and two minor nocturnal attacks sometime prior

    My thoughts & concerns: I have a hard time believing that I have gone into cycle this year but am unsure if it has just been milder because of the “Full Monte Regimen” and occasional dosing?  I am really hoping that I have not somehow inadvertently changed my cycle times to winter months (is that even possible)? 

    My root question: Can I somewhat still expect to be clear in my normal clear time if i havent really had a true cycle? 

    I know this post is sort of hard to follow as I couldn’t really think of a better way to communicate my question. If anyone manages to get through reading this, I sure would appreciate some feed back from anyone who has experienced something like this.

    I personally find the restriction on your reactions to be bizarre and udderly nonsensical @BoscoPiko. I would @ That HurtsMyHead right now to check whether he'd have any administrator-y way to fix it, but last I checked he's in .......Tampa :o (Sept. 28 2022 hurricane Ian).

    Will have to hit him up about this though after all the surges/winds/rains clear.

    It's no biggie but I do find it odd.. Sure hope he stays safe!
