Title: Back again after long time! Post by GracieH on Jun 2nd, 2014 at 8:04am
Hello again. I was a member if original board many moons ago. Was one of the lucky ones who had a break of 7 years without a major cycle. Wooooo hooooo! But at age 57 they are back and have had then since February. Not sure why this is longest cycle ever for me. It got kicked off with having a rescue pup who got my sleep cycle off. I have a few PF days but not many. Past few nights have been bad. I am lucky that putting an ice cube right in front of my right ear will keep headache from getting awful and shortens it. But not a good time. Am already seeing some new things here that we're not around before. D2 and omega 3 on my shopping list. Also gonna do low sugar for the next week as that helped a friend here a great deal.

G'day, Gracie, and sorry you had to seek us out again.
Couple of updates since you were here last - the D3 regimen being one showing a terrific success rate. There's also advances in the use of oxygen with much higher flow rates and re-breather masks so check out the O2 info button on top left of your screen. Also, many are seeing some relief from chugging a Red Bull type drink at the first hint of a hit. Let us know how we can help and, much as I hate to say it, welcome back. |

Hi Gracie, always good to hear from an old friend, even if the circumstances are less than desirable. I am curious to hear from you about treatments and changes over the years. You will bring a fresh/old board viewpoint so please do comment on what you see. blessings. lance

Well when I was last here, some folks were using kudzu root with some success. And tried that and it did help with two minor cycles that came along. But this time did not phase it. So I now have some bottles of kudzu that will never be used. I am starting on the D3 regime, as of yesterday. It sounds promising since I am already low on D3 and may be why this cycle has hung on so long. I tend to get rebounds from O2 that are worse than the original cluster, so I just decided I can get by with my little ice cube on my temple until the D3 hopefully kicks in.
