Odd cycle this time

[jimmyogden]

Have a question. My cycle this year has been weird. Luckily I only get one every 3 years. They have lasted anywhere from 1 month to 6 months. This is the lightest cycle as far as pain Ive had. I am 7 weeks into it. Havent had a full blown ch in almost 3 weeks. I started the vitamin d regiment 3 weeks ago. Just took my second round of emgailty. Now for the question. My cycle usually gets real sporadic then is just gone one morning. This time I am still having constant shadows of about a 3. But atleast twice a day I have one that will spike to a 6 or so. O2 if I am home will stop it. My question I guess is the emgality and vitamin d just masking the bad pain and I am still in full cycle or is it actually trying to taper down and end. I have had a few days here and there I woulda bet they were gone and everything felt normal. Also Ive noticed any pressure such as a pillow on the back of my head will set off a headache this time.

I hear you when it comes to changing cycles - can be somewhat unsettling. Glad that you haven't had a full blown attack in a few weeks and that you have O2 on the ready. Heres hoping that your cycle is short lived and that it is over soon. On the D3 regimen side a couple of things could help tweak it and for that you'd want to have the follow up lab tests at the 4-6 week mark - you'd see where your 25(OH)D level got to and if within the target of 80-100ng/mL. Did you have that lab measurement and did the loading dose get you up into that range? Cheers, Craig.
