August 31, 2001 :: 6 p.m.

Mild ones at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Went to see "Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back" -- got a CH from the movie as usually happens during a cycle. At least it waited until the movie was over before getting too bad.

August 30, 2001

Zomig last night. Fell asleep.

Bad one at 4 a.m.

Extra spacey this morning.

Mild one at 9 p.m.

August 28, 2001 :: 6 p.m.

Mild one at 6 p.m.

We started a little chart in the book with times on the vertical scale and days on the horizontal scale, to better keep track and see patterns in the cycle.

August 27, 2001 :: 2 a.m.

Killer at 2 a.m.

Lost it.

August 7, 2001 :: 1:45 a.m.

Took a Unisom sleeping pill about 11:30 p.m. in hopes of getting a few hours of early sleep. Woke with pain increasing. Used Thumper 10 minutes or so. Unable to communicate much, possibly due to Unisom. Pain seemed to level off at a manageable level. Fell asleep sitting on floor, though probably still in pain. No pacing. Hard head rubbing, 10 minutes Thumper.

August 18, 2001

No CH in the night, but still had lingering one from last night when he woke up this morning.

August 17, 2001 :: 6 p.m.

Got a bad one at work (6 p.m. - 7 p.m. or so), about a "6" on the scale. Very busy day too; lots of overtime this week. NOT a convenient time to be getting daytime clusters!! Never went away entirely.

August 15, 2001 :: 7 p.m.

Mild-medium one on way home from work (7:00-ish).

Lasted a while, at least an hour. Never got too awful.

August 14, 2001 :: 6 a.m.

Mild one at work yesterday, around 4:30 p.m.

Slightly worse one at 6:00 this morning.

August 13, 2001 :: 7 p.m.

No headache last night that he remembers. Got one about noon yesterday, though, while we were at the movies. Got kind of bad (this was Sunday 8/12).

Today he got one at 7 p.m. while working overtime at O&W, got pretty bad.

August 11, 2001 :: 6 a.m.

No Unisom sleep gel.

Bed at 2:30 a.m. CH came at 6 a.m. Lasted for 30 minutes but didn't wake me up for it.

Stayed awake after it was over. Not TOO bad.

August 10, 2001 :: 2:45 a.m.

Took a Unisom.

Seemed like it was going to get bad, 2:45 a.m. Thumper for a short while, then fell asleep sitting up. I guess it didn't get that bad.

August 9, 2001

Took a Unisom.

Got up in the night with one that seemed really mild. Did not wake me up.

August 8, 2001

Took a Unisom.

No headache last night!!

August 6, 2001 :: 3:45 a.m.

First intense one in a long, long time. (No, had a mildly intense one last Wednesday, August 1, around dinnertime)

He said this was probably a "7" on the scale of 1-10, but it's been so long he's not sure. Pacing, thumper. Ramped down after 10-15 minutes of thumper. I really was hoping last Wednesday's was a fluke. Guess not. Here we go again. I've forgotten how to mentally prepare for a cycle.

He's had the same constant mild headache since about last September, so there's been no break between cycles.

Also he had bad heartburn today and yesterday. PLEASE, BRING ON MORE PAIN! Just can't get enough.
