I have suffering with these CH for 3 years now. As of late the pain has been unbearable. Earlier this year my PCP prescribed me Tramadol. Honestly it works great while I'm taking it. But two or three days after I run out they come back like they never left. I've been given furiocet, imetrex and all the other standard ones that they give. All though the Tramadol works, it just became a controlled substance in August. Therefore, leaving me concerned with possible dependence. Is there anything someone can tell me to help prevent these headaches. I really dont get remission periods. The only remission I get is when I'm taking Tramadol.

Hey Daron,
there are quite a few people on here that take a lot of Vitamin D3 to help with the CH. A man called Batch has designed this regimen and it is effective for 80% of people. you can find out about it here:

I know the thread is 84 pages long but it is well worth reading all of it so as to really get a good understanding of it.
As you will see, the regimen consists of a good few supplements, they all help the body to assimilate the Vit D3. Anyway, happy reading and maybe you'll give it a go. I'd definitely recommend it. It is helping me and many others.

All the best
