Hi All, going through a rough time. The last cycle I had was 4 years ago and I had very little knowledge of what was happening to me. Extremely painful attacks every few days then one day they stopped so I figured that was it and went on with my life. Ignorance is bliss right?
This cycle started about a month ago and is hitting me at least 2-4 times a night (sometimes during the day) for about 30 minutes a pop. As you all know it is hell. I have no abortive treatments available. My main coping mechanism has been pacing and moaning. It gets really loud at times and I’m surprised that the neighbors haven’t called 911. I have tried ice on my head but sometimes that seems to make it worse. Last few nights I have used ice in my mouth and held it against the roof which helps a bit.
I’ve been on a D3 regimen but only a few days in.
I have a Dr’s appointment tomorrow morning and I am hoping to get prescribed o2.
Any suggestions on coping with these attacks till I get on o2? Any suggestions on what drugs my Dr. May want to prescribe that will do nothing or have bad side effects Tha I want to stay away from?
Any advise is greatly appreciated. So glad I found this group!
Jimmy
