Title: Shadows
Post by neuropath on Jan 29th, 2013 at 11:34pm
Anyone with a potent recipe for shadows?

As much as for me they signal the beginning of the end of what has been a bad high cycle, they are being particularly stubborn and nasty this time round. I have, for the past week, had permanent shadows that feel like a KIP4 that got stuck yet am not finding a way to rid myself of them.

Elevate your pH with Alka-Seltzer or the Arm & Hammer baking soda tonic and try oxygen therapy at flow rates that support hyperventilation (25 to 45 liters/minute).

I've found both work well to blow away shadows.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

What Batch said! And, I use a double Monster before hitting the O2. I've found that to be effective in chasing away the shadows as well. blessings. lance

BTW  I have found, at least for me, if I let the shadows go too long without aborting them, they can turn into a Class A migraine. Just sayin'.

I've used 3 different tricks succesfully"

Oxygen with a Red Bull.

On rare occassions "Excederin for Migrains"

"4Way Nasal Spray" squirted up the affected nostril.

Thank you guys for the feedback. A few more things to try. O2 is not doing too well for me with shadows but I will now be more religious in washing it down with taurine.

Thanks again.
