Just curious

30 Sep, 2011 - 6:48 pm

I haven't logged on for a while, however i keep up to date with whats happening with other people and any other new improvements and I wish everyone all the best. What I am wondering is if anyone else has had a similar change in there CH cycle, for the last 20 years I have had the attacks without fail every season change (Not that I am complaining, I think it is great, but I keep thinking when is it going to happen again) It changed just after my much loved Mum died May 2010, I went 10months with out one and currently I am just under 5 months since my last attack. I don't take any preventative drugs due to working in and around mine sites as you are regularly drug tested and the paperwork is to much hassles, even though I carry the abortive meds I am trying to control them at the moment (Zomig seems to work at the moment for me). To all you serve suffers you might think I am a whinger, cause reading this I am thinking it, but I started getting CH at 18/19 and it was like clock work that they would come, always 23.30 and at the start of each season change, so I am interested to know if any one else has had a significant change in there cycle as I can't predict any more when I might suffer the next attack and I must admit it scares the crap out of me. ( and it takes a fair bit to scare me). Wish you all the best

Hi Leathal
There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to how cycles work
I consider myself one of the lucky ones
I started out as chromic from age 22- 30 then became episodic and for the next 8 years I was 1 cycle a year of 8-12 weeks about this time of year then in 07 I missed altogether and had a return cycle in 2008.
Since then I am currently in my only cycle since my 2008 event.
The other thing for me is that the longer it has been between cycles the worst they seem to get, with this cycle being worse than any I have had in the past and even my wife has noticed that I seem to have been suffering a lot more this time around.

Unfortuately I can't see how any of this can really help as it seems the manner in which CHs manifest from one person to another is as varied as one could imagine.

Chris
