Nani,
It's been a while since my last post - but a lot of that's down to the medication route I chose to take giving pf days. Just hope this treatment works for you as well as it has for a namby pamby episodic sufferer like me.
Huge congratulations and respect for all your superb and unequivocal support on the board to all suffrers, and can't forget too those who are supportive of alternative therapies - Pinkfloyd.
This is the one site that when a CH sufferer finds it, it will change their life.
Guess I'm one of those 'case studies' for whom mushrooms has really given me a rod to beat these clusters properly. But then it's a bit like jumping off a very tall building (so far so good, so far so good then back to earth).

Thanks, all. 
I'm still feeling pretty good. A few "twinges", some with a bit of pain, many without any pain. I'm mostly "empty" headed, too.
Please understand that I don't think chronic is any "worse" than episodic. It ALL sucks. The reason I like to post my progress, is that I'm one of those tough cases that traditional meds don't help much. If they do work, it's almost certain that they will stop working eventually. I expect that my alternative battle is not over yet. I am looking forward to getting to the point of only maintenance dosing. Even if it's once a month, that would be great. I was getting pretty tired of the bucket o' pills I was having to take everyday.
I strongly encourage folks to look hard at this treatment. It has worked wonders for many. And, for me at least, the fear of the "tripping" effects has not come to fruition.
pf wishes and hugs, nani

Congrats on the continued success! I assume by mostly "empty" headed you meant that as a good clear head feeling.

Episodic here, so I beg to differ...year round with this stuff...OMG.

For some reason nani seems to have a high tolerance for it....so no trippy effects.
Also....for many folks.....small doses = one or maybe two beers, have proven to be very effective.
Also better to remain med free as it is theorized some meds block the good the alt. therapy provides.
Just think.....with a little fungi or seeds, and O2 as an abort for the occasional break thru's and/or help with detox.....you can toss the bucket O' pills down the drain!
Please keep reporting Nani....be a thread hog!!!

Well, after my last dose (Sun) I had 2 very good days. Not 100% PF, but close. Late yesterday morning another batch of storm systems moved in. (I'm probably the only person in the scorched desert of NM to pray it "won't" rain   Well, it was also very hot. I shadowed a lot. First, I tried a SPUT, it didn't help. Then I tried a Red Bull, also didn't help. Finally I gave in and took an Excedrine migraine, it helped a little. So far, today has been clear and PF.
So, I'm in a holding pattern. Awaiting advice from the experts to see what to do next, IF I need to dose again.
ever optimistic and fully enjoying the pf time I get, nani

Well, these storm fronts are killin' me. 
Thank goodness, I have not had any hits, but the shadows are quite bothersome. So, since I can't avoid my weather "trigger", I will dose again tomorrow night with 6 HBWR seeds. I'll keep you posted.
hugs, nani

Well, I dosed tonight with 6 HBWR seeds. Again "no effect" ... I'm really beginning to wonder where this high tolerance is coming from LOL...
I am, however, feeling some discomfort in my chest and left arm. I'm not overly concerned, because it's not terribly painful and it comes and goes. It does concern me enough, though, to consider fewer seeds, or going back to mushrooms should I need to dose again soon. I cut my verap (for high BP) down to 240 mgs a day for the last 2 days also. Will resume my regular dose of that tomorrow. I've shadowed a little, nothing major. I am prepared for any hits or bad shadows that might occur. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks again for your concern and encouragement. hugs, nani

Anyway I just wanted to see how you are and say hi Sweetie! Keep in touch, I will!

Gettin' my life back...

I've just spent the last 5 hours out in the hot sun at a soccer tournament.  I hate tournaments...they make me wish that the kids suck so I can go home.  My 12 year old's team won the damn thing. LOL...
Anyway...
Once I got home, out of the sun and heat and into the A/C, I had a very tiny, 5 minute k2 hit.
This is the first year in 6 years of soccer that the tournament didn't kick my ass. I'm almost looking forward to the rest of the season. Like I said before...gettin' my life back.
hugs, nani
