BoscoPiko Posted October 2, 2021 Posted October 2, 2021 Hello all, I'm not sure if I'm out of this everlasting gobstopper of a cycle (been getting one week off only) in between bangs. I am just curious if anyone else is constantly shadowing? I feel like I have constant pain on my rt temple (pressure, bulging veins, noticeable discomfort) even when I've had a 6 month break? Just wondering if anyone else deals with this? Quote

BoscoPiko Posted October 14, 2021 Author Posted October 14, 2021 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. 1 Quote

Freud Posted November 1, 2021 Posted November 1, 2021 I know a Female CHer from here who doesn’t post much but turned chronic last year and has the constant shadows but no major hits. Quote

Freud Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 There is an upside, no guessing when you’re going to get hit. 2 Quote
BoscoPiko Posted November 2, 2021 Author Posted November 2, 2021 Is that because you get hit daily? If so I really don't get consolation from that fact.. I wish I could be stronger but I feel maxed with the 3 month cycles I already have every year. Idk. maybe I would adjust like you have I just don't feel that strong. Quote

FunTimes Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Being CHH does suck but like Jon said it is more like high and low cycles within it. I am stuck in a higher cycle at the moment and it really blows. Going through 02 tanks like they are goin out of style and due to some sort of oxygen shortage in this area I was just limited to what I can get refilled so a little added pressure and panic is starting to set in. Sticking with 02, 5hr drinks and Frankincense oil on the roof of my mouth and hopping that this ends soon. On the up side I do not have to sit around dreading any certain moth or time of year when the hits are going to start coming. I have the joy of knowing I am going to get hit in the side of the head with a brick every day! 3 1 Quote

Thank you for that explanation. I guess I've been confused about episodic vs chronic 1 Quote
