Day huh?
Tuesday, January 11, 2005
This cycle does not want to end. For some reason I thought it had been going on just over a week now. Mindy reminded me this one started when we came back from our x-mas trip. So that was the 27th and today is the 11th of January...16 bloody days. I am incredibly wiped out. Today brought with it 7-8 attacks. Times that by 16. May as well be dead at this point. Plus there seems to be added 'pressure' in this cycle. The last few days I have been feeling like my eye is going to explode, which is normal. But the top of my skull feels the same way. Also I burst a few blood vessels in my 'cluster eye'. Now theres this big blood spot on the outer corner. That's a new one.
Two extremes for me now. Hot and cold. I have 4 ice packs I use interchangeably, now with the frequency of this round they don't get cold enough:( Right now I live in the bath. That used to help prevent attacks for me. Now I am beginning to think it is habit. However, if hot water stops one attack it is worth it for me.
