Migraines, yes - they're pretty common in the Therian community. A three day m-shift - well, I shifted once in 1978 and never came out of it so, yes, it lasted 3 days.....and a little more.

Hmm I don't have long m-shifts, It's more of a permenant semi-conscious one which flares up occasionaly

Yes! Those were the words I was looking for, thanks walkingintheshadows. Mine also occasionally flare up, but they were never that long before, which is why I wanted to see if anybody else experienced this.

I understand what you're saying WolfVanZandt, but this was a different type of feeling, like an "on edge" kind of feeling.

I experience it every now and then. I remember hearing from new age wiccans that a "cone of power" is supposedly fueled by similar flare ups, but I hardly understand what a cone of power is, anyway.

hhhhmmmmm..... I don't know too much about wiccans, but here's the definition I found, ""The cone of power is a method of raising energy in ritual magic, especially Witchcraft. The term refers to the idea that the raised energy forms a cone with the circle forming its base.[1] As a group the cone is formed by the coveners standing in a circle, holding hands, and focusing on a single point above and in the centre of the circle. They then dance, drum, chant, and perform various other ritual gestures, in order to raise the energy.[2] This is called "Raising the Cone of Power"". lupinalchemist are you saying that wiccans are fueled by their flare ups or therian/werewolf flare ups. I have to say being some sort of catalyst for energy is a little "out there" but I suppose therianthropy is just as much "out there".

They said that when the energy peaks, your body trembles as if your about to sneeze or reach an orgasm. These are not my words...
I kinda had a theory that it was the same energy but for different uses. For a witch it's magic, for a were it's shifting.
Is this understandable?

That's very creepy, I couldn't help but feel chills go up my spine when you mentioned sneezing. Every 2-3 minutes I had to sneeze like 5 times (I don't have allergies). I also have the same theory lupinealchemist.
