Saturday was pretty much pain-free. I had a mild headache most of the day, but nothing major. I was able to remove the window air conditioners and mow the lawn without any trouble.
Sunday started at 7:15 am with a headache beginning. I tried to just go back to sleep, but had to get up at 7:25 to take Zomig and get started on the hot washcloth routine. By 7:30 it was one of the worst headaches I've had, but the Zomig kicked in and it was completely gone by 8:00. I was drained, so I went back to bed until 11:00. The rest of the day I had a mild headache, but no more clusters.
This is pretty typical of the end of my cluster headache cycle. I'll have a few more every couple of days, and some will be pretty bad, but then they'll be gone until the next cycle starts either in the late spring/early summer or late summer/early fall. Maybe I'll get another 3 year reprieve. I'll take whatever I can get.
One blessing is our 95 year old next door neighbor, Elvira, who is currently at Christian Village nursing home, gave Aliscia a check to pay for my medicine. Aliscia visits her several days a week, and went to Springfield to see her when she was admitted for pneumonia the week before last. Thank you, Elvira!
