I thought I'd leave this one alone, due to the previous pages of insults and personal attacks. However someone asked a ligitimate question and deserves a ligitimate answer. I apologize if this position has already been stated. I tried to read through the other responses but had a hard time reading through the personal attacks and the nonparagraphical ( like that word?) responses.
 
 As for me, I don't drink red wine ( never liked it), white wine will start an attack with the first sip.... Whiskey and beer, however, do not cause me any trouble. My friend Jack Daniels visits me quite regularly. Not to excess though.
 
    I have no experience with pot.

   I did try mushrooms once but they had no effect. Not even a good buzz.. Could be I wasn't detoxed enough from my Topamax. To be honest, if I thought that either one would help I'd grow them in my basement tomorrow..
 
  As for "What is safe?". Only you can determine what works for you and what sets your head on fire. If you don't want to "experiment" on yourself, keep in mind ( at least in my experience) this is what  the doctors are doing. Just use common sense.
   
  If you just want an excuse to do drugs.... Go do drugs  and leave us clusterheads out of it.

To be more detailed about other drugs....

Coke made the pain worse. Thought that would numb the pain. Not a good Idea.

I did find that top shelf vodka was ok sometimes and wouldn't trigger them. The more pure and filtered. Not sure if that was coincidence. But I would just stay sober if I were you. 

Mushrooms have been my savior. I swear by them and support them. Everyone is different as to how much to take but if you really want to see if they work take at least a cap and a stem. Good size cap and about a 2 inches of stem. All batches are different so if you've never taken them start slow and wait at least an hr. The more that are in your system the better the effect on the cycle or the pain.
