Combo treatment that worked last night

I slept all night after going to bed terrified because the shadows were so strong all day yesterday! Here is what I did...
During the day, 1/2 of a 25 mg benadryl capsule every 4 hours. Around 3pm a 10mg nasal decongestant (I used generic phenylephrine pseudoephedrine), at 6pm a Super B-Complex vitamin, at 8pm a whole Benadryl, at
9pm a can of REDBULL and a 5mg melatonin right after that. Went to bed early due to exhaustion from headache night before... Woke up at 8:30 this morning folks with NO SHADOWS! I will try same formula today and let you know. I hope you had a pf night. Peace.

Good for you in getting some sleep.
Benadryl an antihistamine has been an old standby here for a long time and has helped a lot of folks get some sleep.
Ephederine has been used for hundreds of years for headache and bronchial issues.
Its important to note that if any heart conditions exist avoid these at all costs as a deadly potential exists.

That said I had used natural ephedrine in very low doses for years to treat the non attack side of CH and it completely eliminated shadows from my life and kept me alert between the hits and substantially increased recovery time from the hits and quality of life..
Just be aware of the potential side affects

Arghhhhhh.... did same thing yesterday and woke at 11:15m with the demon knocking hard... ran downstairs and chugged a REDBULL, no go... back downstairs to kitchen and chugged second one... waited in terror and then... in about 5 minutes... no more pain. Thank you for ephedrine advice MJ, what is natural ephedrine? I am new to this site so excuse ignorance when you read it... I am so open to all help... Have a daughter who is leaving for college next summer and do not want to waste this precious time in pain and/or exhausted.
xtreme shadow today, gonna do a decongestant. Tried a redbull to no avail. PF day to all. Judi

"Thank you for ephedrine advice MJ, what is natural ephedrine? "
Judi, the quote above wasnt meant to be advice just a statement.
The use of ephedrine comes with its risks one of those risks if the drug is abused or misused is death.
But here it is. Be sure to read the cautions, side effects, FAQs and warnings

To add to this
Ephedrin, ephedra, pseudoephedrine, sudafed are or were the principal ingredient in the majority of over the counter cold and allergy medications. Sold without too much warning or with the print so small you can hardly read it.
Many other presciption meds ie; wellbutrin, zoloft and others are based on it.
Most of us have used it at one time or another.

I've used Imitrex (injections) since it's introduction in the early 90's (?). The old and new style injectors. The new ones are very user friendly and can be operated even while battling the beast.
I have not tried the "split dosing" yet but am considering it if I have to shoot tonight. (I'm traveling for work for another 4 days and have a limited supply with me.)
For me the side effects have been minimal compared to a CH. I will get some bruising on the injection site and a bit of the tingles during the chemical battle with the beast which subsides after the the CH fades (elapsed time for me is 10-15 minutes). At my worst I have taken as many as 5 shot in a 24 hour period.
