I let myself get optimistic.  I should learn not to do that.

My last episode was in June and was very mild.  It lasted only about 3 days, with mild headaches, mostly quickly aborted with O2.

I started the D3 regimen in late July.  I felt great as I went past the equinox and then the time change.  I thought I had dodged the bullet.

This episode began on November 5th with a K2.  I didn't bother with O2 since it was only a K2.  Until last night, I just had one or two K2s per night plus a few shadows, so I thought this episode might be like the one in June.

I had a couple of short K2s last evening, but was awakened at about 2am with a full fledged K7. I think I woke up too late because O2 didn't touch it.  It lasted for about an hour.

I just woke up from a nap this afternoon with another K2.

I am not suffering from a cold nor do I have any worse allergies than normal.

My plan is to get my D3 level tested, and then load up with extra D3 going forward.

I am really glad this condition waited to hit me until after I retired.  I would sure hate to have to worry about a job while going through this.

Thanks for listening while I engage in my recreational
b!tching.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the update.  You may have an allergy cooking that's keeping the anti-inflammatory regimen from preventing your CH.

You might want to give Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) a try.  25mg twice a day (one tab every 12 hours) or if you need to drive, 50 mg with the evening meal.

Talk to your PCP about this.

Take care and please keep us posted

V/R, Batch

Good place to complain! That's worth something

I stopped complaining to anyone who was not CH-savvy (everyone I knew) because they used to say, "Do you think it's stress?"

This is the place to go where people will understand.

I really don't ever have a mild CH. They are all 7+.

Hope you get it sorted out!

I doubled my D3 dose to 20,000 during this bout.  I needed to stay sharp, so I held off on trying the Benadryl.

I have been pain free for 3 days now.  Assuming this episode is over, it only lasted 8 days and I only had 2 K7s.  Almost all of the others were about K2.

As an optimist, I am going to declare victory, at least for his battle.  I'll credit my low dose of Verapamil plus the D3 regimen.

Thanks for being there for me.

Keep the Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) handy

Will do.  Thanks.
