Playing catch up

Okay, it's been a couple days.  Was hurting too bad to even look at the computer for more than a few minutes.  The storms are gone now and my head is clearing up some as well.  Only 6 hits yesterday.  Only.  That's a laugh, but it's better than the previous 3 days.  Funny how your perspective changes as your situation changes.

I started the Methysergide on Saturday.  One hour after taking it I felt a little droozy (drowsy + woozy = droozy LOL) for about 10 minutes.  Then I had a kind of strong heartbeat for a few minutes and that was it.  No weird side effects.  No hallucinations.  Nothing.  Sunday's dose brought no effect at all.  Still got all the attacks.  A friend of mine who took it said he started feeling the effects after the second day.  Maybe three will be my lucky number.  I know it will take time to build up in my system.  After two and a half years without a break I guess I am just over anxious for it to be my magic bullet that kills the beast and lets me return to a normal life.  Hey, if you're going to dream - dream big, right?

Well, it's 3:00 in the morning and I can feel the beast heating up the railroad spike - again.  It's already looking like today is going to go into extra innings.  Just great.  In addition to the everyday stuff, I have to babysit Sahara and tonight is Zack's (youngest son) Band Banquet.  I hope I can get through it all.  Geez, between the clusters, the insomnia and the depression I'm just about friggin useless.
