Hi All,
Great site n support. Thanks for all you do. I'm a 59 year old male from central Massachusetts/USA. I started with CH @ age 15, been a long strange trip. The worst is my 25 year old son was just diagnosed. Hopefully his lifetime will see more advances in treatment than mine has thus far. I have been on verapamil way too many times and for way too long for my liking. My cycles are usually 12-16 weeks but this year has been 19 so far. I had never switched sides during a cycle before either. Several years ago I tried mushrooms which did seem to help reduce the intensity of cycles for 2-3 years after. Procurement is the problem for me with continuing, but for my $ it beats verapamil hands down. I have one suggestion, I would like to see Batch's D3 regime on the left hand menu maybe between the O2 and H2O.I will try it when I'm off the verapamil. During the summer I tried adding it, but it seemed to increase the intensity of attacks. Thanks for reading, here's hoping for pain-free days for all! |
