While reading trough the forum, a lot of us whil definitely notice there's a normal behaviour of the cycles for most of us.
eg.: cycles tend to come x times per year, typicaly in the months a & b. they also usually last for ±x weeks.
But what is normal and what is not?
A lot of times I have read 'being afraid I'm going chronic' , and that's probably (and even litteraly) everyone's worst nightmare.
I think it would be useful for me and other newbies to have some kind of overview of 'the common cycle'
Maybe even try to make a chart out of it, that can guide us to what we might be expecting.
But perhaps even more useful to help people not to panic when sh*t hit the fan.
→ What is usual to us and what happened that was not.
- Length of cycles
- Cycles/Year or time between cycles
→ Did we draw any conclusions out of the anormallities or was it a one of?
→ Whatever useful information you want to share
For those of you who don't know me yet, I'm only going trough my 2nd cycle and they didn't even resemble eachother in the slightest.
Unfortunately I still don't know when this will finally end, or when to expect cycle nr 3, but here's what I can share for now.
The first:
- Oct 2014
- 3 attacks
- Never even had the chance to realise f*ing wrong it was. just had a useless MRI and that was it.
The second:
- Mar 2024 - 10 Years later
- Multiple attacks, day and night, was on the verge of breaking down when the ONB saved me
- Busted it to the level of it still being bearable at this moment
- Going into Week 16, Day 107
- Got diagnosed very fast, but now this thing seems to be never ending
