Title: Devil is back
Post by Michael63 on Apr 27th, 2018 at 2:11pm
Hi All,

It's been 2 years since my last post.  It has been a delight to know I could live a normal life without the threat of him attacking.  Problem is, he is back.  I have been on the D3 regimen since Feb 2016.  My question is this, should I go back to the regimen start up with the hopes that it will knock it on its butt again.  Any information would be absorbed and appreciated.

Thank You

Mike

It's only that memory of normality that keeps so many ClusterHeads going,  always striving to see and taste it again.  Sorry things aren't so good for you just now but it's only better days ahead.

We must always believe this.

Brian is totally right.

For any headache of any time (I get multiple types), I know I've had them before, I know I've got through them, they don't last forever and I've got methods to abort them. So they are temporary and between them, be it between headaches or between cycles, I'm fine.

For the D3 question, I'd send Batch a PM and he'll be able to give you an update.

I'd also review the latest D3 info - START PRINTPAGEMultimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or RegisterEND PRINTPAGE. It has a lot covering what to do when it isn't working. So there may be something already in there that will help.

I'd give the D3 info a read over and come back with questions.

Hey Michael,

Glad to hear you had a two-year hiatus from the CH beast.  Brain and Mike gave you two "spot on" comments. Hear are mine...  For starters, you should have continued taking the anti-inflammatory regimen...  In stopping this regimen, you only opened the door to the CH beast to come after you again.

The simple solution is to get back on the horse with this regimen and restart it with the 12-Day accelerated vitamin D3 loading schedule at 50,000 IU/day vitamin D3 for 12 days plus all the cofactors, then drop back to an initial maintenance dose of 10,000 IU/day.  Stay at that dose for another 3 weeks then see your PCP for lab tests of your serum 25(OH)D, calcium and PTH.  After that, stay on this regimen... The health benefits alone are worth the price.

Take care and lease keep us posted with your results.

V/R, Batch

thank you all for support again.

Batch, i never stopped the regimen, but did cut back to 6000iu. Is there any benefit to increasing any of the cofactors,ie fish oil. I was taking 2400 mg per day. I am on day 6 of the kick start. Will keep everyone informed as i progress.  I will pray for everyone who suffers or supports 

As always, thank you

Mike
