Title: Just Tried Red Bull Post by RonVA48 on Aug 21st, 2014 at 8:52pm
I've been suffering for 20 years now. I'm sooo tired of being a test dummy for the pharmacy, I was in remission for the last 2 years until two weeks ago. My FIRST experience with multiples, I lost an entire week of work due to being up most of the night. My co-worker told me his room mate tried everything under the sun as I did, until he tried Energy drinks, and found only Red Bull worked for him. I figured, why not? I bought a 4 pack on the way home, waiting for my evil friend to visit at his usual 3:30 appointment to my skull. At the first hint of the "twinge", I slammed 8.4oz of Red Bull and waited. When the pain ramped up, I chugged another, all while monitoring my BP and rate. The pain leveled off, an hour later ABORTED! Tried this the last 3 nights, I cannot BELIEVE it actually WORKS! After everything I've been through.......WOW. ;D

Welcome to the board, Ron. Glad you found the Red Bull working for you. I use Energy Shot. That's the Kirkland/Costco name for 5 Hour Energy. It'll usually take away my pain in about 7 minutes. If after 10 minutes the pain is still there I'll take another shot. I will say though that my attacks are minor, never above a KIP 5 (almost never). This stuff is also good for killing those irritating shadows.

Ron,
Check the D3 regimen.. It's working for so many of us.. I've been chronic since 97 and since going on it I haven't been hit since Oct 21st of last year.. I still have migraines, but they are mild compared to CH.. How's the O2 coming along for you? :-* |
