Wow this is a good bit to know. Thank you Shaun!

I may just need to add this to my regimen. Not a fan of the taste so I need to order the capsules.

I was reading about ginger because I was curious about the health benefits when I came across this little tidbit. Gingerol has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, according to research. For instance, it may help reduce oxidative stress, which is the result of having an excess amount of free radicals in the body. Maybe that's the reason it helps with shadows. I did try a lemon ginger tea the other day when I felt a bunch of pressure and although I didn't appreciate the taste it did seem to relieve the pressure.

If only we could shit the beast out!!

I've never tried to deliberately change attack time (I like routine). However I have noticed a few outside elements that have changed them. Unlike Jon my attacks can be started with stress, for instance getting into an argument about something you feel strongly about with someone you care about or a random night with foul sleep. When in cycle I get multiple attacks a day starting between 10 to 11 am lasts for one to two hours then back from 3 to 4pm. But if I'm stressed they come at a random. This also happens when not in cycle if induced by the above mentioned..

This is so me! I'm surprised my bloopers haven been called out (yet)!

I forgot to tell you I was only able to upload picks by downloading pixlar it let's you choose the file size and of course you have to choose small but they upload no problemo..

They do indeed have them. Apparently there were a few pairs used on the set (one was actually silver). I sure am glad that I visited in 2007 and had a chance to see and visit all the museums in NY. My favorite was the MASH sign as I have watched that show as a kid (had to make sure the generator had gas) or the solar panels had been in the sun all day . Looked just like it did on the boob tube. Special times. Uff I sound so old!! LOL..

Yes the weather is supper odd of late. Today the wind is crazy... I question if this random spiking has anything to do with the fact that we just returned from our home in Truckee which has a much higher elevation than our home in El Do? Who knows and yes please on Dorothy's' ruby slippers

Well hell.. That was short lived after 2 weeks and 1 day off I started spiking again??? Could this be random?? When does one decide if they have gone chronic?? Its already been 3 months of hell and my spiking usually means they are coming...

Good to know

It would be worth knowing if anyone has had an extended cycle due to alcohol?

Thank you and yes you are correct it is just superstition but it's a bad habit (hard to re-train the brain). Chihuahuas count too:)

Thank you! I hope it lasts a while

I love Chesapeakes, we had one growing up.

Chunky I know but she is old and has thyroid issues may the Lord give us a few more years with her ..she is my bestie

My girl Abby dobby doo..

Woo hoo got a pick to upload (I think)

Hi to everyone on here I just wanted to express my thanks to everyone that kept me afloat for my last 3 month cycle. It was a hard one and longer then I've ever had to endure . I really don't quite know how to properly thank everyone. I haven't had spikes or the devil visit me in 2 and a half weeks so I dont want to jinks myself but I think and pray I will be in the clear for a bit. I believe it was @spinythat said to me life happend between the clusters and I have had a few days of life. Road my horse.. and am now at my retirement home that I haven't been able to visit in months.. a little life is worth living for!!! I want to send picks but the site keeps telling a different size so maybe later. Thank you all.

I don't believe the anxiety is unwarranted. I still have it after almost three years of CH. I never get a long enough break to ever stop thinking about my head, if or when I'll get attacked. It's very hard to shut off. We as humans are not programed to deal with the level of pain CH causes. In many ways its like a torture tactic that I'm sure the military wishes they had access to as most would roll over with a quickness from the pain. Give him room and try to accept the level of pain. It kills personality, drive and all in its wake at the start. He will come around and accept help, profalactics, and advise on the more homeopathic (D3) solutions. You are a great companion to him just give him a bit of time. Best to you and him.

I so get this statement.. I am not chronic and pray I never become so, I have suffered a serious bout of depression from the "not knowing" when I will get hit as well as how many things I have had to stop doing when in cycle. Many times I have talked to my husband about not wanting to live like this or make him live like this. It is so easy to feel like a burden and in some degree at certain times we may be, however you seem to have a good grasp on the affection and love that your family has for you as well as the pain that would be inflicted on them if you left, my husband always tells me "don't leave me". I am located in the land of skittle farting unicorns (CA), and it is hard to get help unless you are compliant with many rules and regulations. Bottom line is that in the end there is always one moment worth living for. Maybe it will be a moment that you are not at a kip-10 and get to watch one more God given sunset, see a new baby be born into your family, hear your Mom or Dad laugh or just have a moment of brain peace. I wish I had more to offer other that being a friend but I don't . Hang in there!

I don't think it's off limits just I got a little political once and just got told not 2. So I was just putting it out there for ya that's al

Am I the only one with the heebijeebies
