Re: time between attacks - back to

You asked about time between attacks...I have a " migraine " in my

middle everyday without fail, and varying degrees of nausea at any

given time. Then I have " THE PAIN " that can and usually lands me in

the hospital...these " flares " usually occur every 4 to 6 weeks. I

have gone 8 months without ending up in the hospital(riding " THE

PAIN " out on my bathroom floor), but then I can end up in the

hospital 3 times in 6 weeks at times too. I can honestly say that I

hurt a lot worse around my cycle...something I denied ANY connection

until I got the official CP diagnosis. I didn't want the doctors to

write off all of my pain as PMS...obviously it wasn't, but I didn't

want them to even go there then...maybe I am just older and wiser

now, I am grasping at anything that could help the pain at this

point...justification maybe? Thanks for thinking out loud...I think

it helps us all when we toss out questions and everyone shares

experiences. If nothing else, I don't feel quite so alone on this

road.
