A Better Day

Yesterday was a much better day.  Only 3 attacks and only one that was a real headbanger.  Sahara was here and we watched Barney and Blue's Clues and played in the house until it warmed up enough to go outside.  Once outside the race was on.  First to the swings, then to the sand box then the tricycle, the slide, back to the swing - repeat, repeat, repeat...  It got hot enough this afternoon that she could play in the pool again.  She got a real kick out of splashing PawPaw.  Truth be told, so did PawPaw.  LOL 

My youngest son (who is a Junior in High School) went to prom last night.  He looked very handsome in his tux and his friend, Jennifer, looked like a princess.  Got what I hope are some good pictures.  I can't wait to get them developed. 

Got a call from a clusterhead friend from clusterheadaches.com.  He was episodic, then went chronic for 8 years.  He's been pain free for two months now thanks to Verapamil.  It's always heartening to hear of someone who was chronic getting a break.  Gives me hope that it can happen for me.   Verapamil didn't work for me, but then, neither has anything else.  I should get to try Methysergide starting next week.  I'm looking forward to it, but then again, it's kind of scary as well.  Because Methysergide is an ergotamine based compound, I won't be able to take Imitrex if I get cluster attacks.  All I'll have is oxygen.  It should be, uh...interesting.
