Hi all, I haven't checked in for a while so thought I would update you - cycle ended last week - took 8 months this time instead of the usual 5 weeks!! Typically I got to meet my headache specialist yesterday. He was very knowledgeable about all the meds and oxygen etc and has instructed my Dr to arm me with a list of drugs before my next cycle begins - BUT when I mentioned the vitamin D3 regime he told me it wont have any effect on CH!! I told him how it has "saved me" from  months of pain and that I had not needed to take any drugs since the D3 took effect and he suggested that this was purely coincedental at which point I said I was not prepared to stop the regime to prove my point.
Im just a bit cross (dissapointed) that someone so well informed could be so narrow minded, happy to dish out drugs but not prepared to even consider there is a cheaper, healthier alternative.
What Batch has doing here is fantastic but its gonna take time to get the medical profession to get on board.
PF times everyone - keep taking the vitamins x

Batch

It is a GREAT feeling to get ones life back. Now I can really enjoy the games - GO PACK GO

I was unsuccessful in getting my PCP to do blood work and I'm still waiting for my appt with my headache Dr. Called back in July when they started and soonest appt was Oct 21st, I'm actually thinking of canceling as she's not on board with o2 unless I'm in the ER. Too bad she's the only one anywhere near me, but as I got the welders o2 it doesn't matter and I have to decide if I'm going to tell her. That's something else I haven't needed to do in the last few days. This regime really works for me. I'm just so happy and not even our worst customer could get to me yesterday and he sure tried.

after a couple of weeks of doing this I haven't had a really bad hit in the last 4 days and none, zero at night. Oddly I still wake up at the times I was getting them but no pain I can go back to sleep.


Have you taken any kind of sleep aid?  I cannot fall back asleep at all, I try like hell for hours but to no avail.  I want to get away from the clonzepam if I can but I haven't found anything gentler that will actually keep me asleep all night and let me wake up without feeling grogy.

Thanks,

No so far I go right back to sleep within 10 minutes. I do keep a fan running on low for the white noise as I found many years ago it helped me sleep.

Batch first THANKS. I am a episodic suffer here. I come back to visit every 2-3 years and you all are always here always helpful.

I started the "batch" on Tuesday after a serious 8-9 attack on Monday night. So far one light headache on the 14th is it. My one question is: When does the anxiety of another hit go away? This cycle has been weird to me though. It takes two days off and then POW it hits me again. Tonight will be two days off so I am praying this is the ticket. Either way the D3 has me feeling great during the day so its worth it alone. I will post tomorrow with the results of tonight.

Well my update. True to form I got a MILD hit this AM of about 2-3 and now mild shadows. This is better than the 8-9 and the very first thing I did when it woke me up was take my "batch" then hit a Monster drink. I do not have O2 and I was hoping that this would allow me to avoid it. I a month into my cycle so I hope it is over soon. You all have a great day.

Hey Tgdurst,

Thanks for the feedback and kind words.  I suspect your anxiety over the next hit will end and you'll stop looking over your shoulder like David Janssen in The Fugitive after a week or so...  It took that long for me to finally realize this was a lasting and very healthy method of preventing my CH...

I've been keeping a running tally of responses to this regimen and so far the time to a favorable response appears bell shaped as expected with most folks reporting a significant decrease in the frequency and severity of their CH during the second week or they've gone pain free.  A few have reported favorable responses after two days and a few more have taken up to three weeks before they had a favorable response.

The time to a favorable response appears to be directly related to the serum level concentration of 25(OH)D, the metabolite of vitamin D3.  Data is sketchy at this point as only a few have managed to see their doctor for the 25(OH)D lab tests.  The few that have seen their doctor for this lab test indicated their levels of this metabolite were low.  A couple CH'ers who have been pain free for a month who also had their 25(OH)D levels tested reported they were at the upper end of the 100-200 nmol/L (40-80 ng/mL) normal range.

Hang in there and consider staying on this regimen as long as you can afford the 20 cents a day cost...  It has many healthy benefits beyond preventing CH as you've already noted.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

Update #2 woke up last night 1:48 super mild could have slept through it. Woke up at 6AM (kids soccer game) hit with a 6-7 (still with me) Monster and exercise  is all I can do. This sucks. Still on the "batch" and will be no matter what I have faith that this will work before my cycle is over.

tgdurst,
Seems like your having problems with night attacks, same as me. Read the post about 4 below this one about melatonin, time release or regular. That might help alleviate the pain of waking of with a CH in the middle of the night and remember to wait a couple of days or more for it to work. I'm doing that right now!

HI Batch

Ian here (UK, episodic on the "Batch" since April, pain free still).  TO all those who are not quite there with it please persist, it is so worth it.  My body feels supple, I have no niggles, my mind is bright quick and always alert, I sleep really well and I am so happy.  Batch my neuro has now taken the details including this blog and is recommending persistent CHers try the treatment, he even asked me for my souce of meds (try Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register for the St Clements fish oil if yours repeats on you, zero fish taste, no burps).

Be persistent and keep with it, this really works.

Ian,

Thanks for the wonderful update and for spreading the news that this regimen really works...  It's refreshing to hear that another neurologist sees the benefits of this regimen and the notion that Integrative and Holistic medicine has a place in the treatment of our disorder.

Take care,

My latest update. So for 3+ days NOTHING except paranoia. Yesterday should have been my pain day (like we can tell when it will hit) but nothing but fear hit me all day. I thought every eye twitch and extra bit of heat would bring the beast but nothing has been here for 3 days. So far so good.. if all is well on Sunday.. I will do my test.. run a 5K..

Thanks again all..

Hey there Batch and crew. 

I have been following this thread a bit and hoping it leads to another weapon in our cluster arsenal.  I figured I would add my recent experience to the mix. 

First off, I have been episodic for 27 years.  About 3 years ago I started on the Cluster Buster protocol and have beaten the pain back to almost nothing.  I still get occasional shadows and need to be careful about taking my medicine at proper times.

Currently I am in my cluster cycle (not getting any hits, but shadowing a bit and dosing with seeds and fungus).  I just had a check up with my Doc (naturopath and no real familiarity with CH) and the blood test showed:
-low vitamin D. 30 ng/ml (30-100 normal).  Doc suggested vitamin D supplements.
-low cholesterol 128 (normal 125-200).  Doc suggested Flax seed oil (omega 3) and unrefined sesame/sunflower oil for Omega 6.
-Another reading showed very acidic blood.  In addition my dentist yesterday filled some teeth where he thought something acidic had been eating away at the tooth.  We couldn't figure out what I had eaten and he thought maybe acidic saliva could be the cause.

My doc suggested a teaspoon of baking soda (non-aluminum) each day to raise the ph. 

It would be interesting, as others have noted, to get more info on the clusterheads and the various blood values during and between cycles to see how much is explainable.

Anyhoo, wanted to throw some more into the mix. Hope everyone is feeling good. Smiley

Hey Shaggy,

Thanks for the post and results of your 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 test.  Your naturopath is spot on... with one small exception that's subject to reasonable discussion... 

The experts at the Vitamin D Council and many of Integrative/Naturopathic physicians who frequently treat patients deficient in vitamin D3 (really the super hormone) all claim that the normal reference range should be 40 to 80 ng/mL and as high as 90 ng/mL for lifeguards and folks who run around in swimsuits much of the day in the mid latitudes...  According to them, you're deficient.

The anti-inflammatory regimen is actually two regimens in one...  The anti-inflammatory part combines the properties of Omega 3 Fish Oil and vitamin D3 to provide the anti-inflammatory stimuli...  To be effective, the experts say you also need to dose with calcium, magnesium and zinc to gain the full benefit of the vitamin D3.  A few other Integrative/Naturopathic physicians also suggest vitamin K with the above regimen...

The second part of the anti-inflammatory regimen occurs you combine the calcium citrate used in this regimen with lemonade, limeade, or any other fruit juice high in citric acid.  They combine in the stomach to form a buffer that elevates the arterial pH...  This is essential when it comes to controlling cluster headaches as an elevated arterial pH stimulates vasoconstriction and that works against the cluster headache triggering mechanism.

The Omega 3 Fish Oil is also a great regulator of cholesterol.  It helps balance the HDL and LDL while lowering the really bad triglycerides... Lots of studies on the use of Omega 3 Fish Oil to control cholesterol at NIH...

If you'll give this regimen a try, I'll wager your shadows will be a thing of the past...  It works that well...  You just need to give it a little time.  Studies have shown it can take as long as three months to elevate serum levels of 25(OH)D from 20 ng/mL up to 60 ng/mL at a daily dose of 10,000 I.U./day.

Most of the CH'ers who have found relief from their cluster headaches and gone pain free using this regimen have done so near the end of their second week;

Thanks again for the post.  Again, it sounds like your Neuropath is spot on with his assessments and recommendations...

You might find the paper by Dr. Peter Lewis of interest.  It discusses the tests for 25-Hydroxyvitamin D and dosing.  To convert nmol/L to ng/mL divide by 2.5.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

Batch,

I remember reading in the post that you maybe switching to just the d3 @10,000 I.U daily to see if was just the d3. Did you try this yet? has it worked?

Thanks, Coach Bill

Coach Bill,

The short answer is no...  I've stayed on the full regimen for nearly a year.  My wife has been taking the same regimen for nearly that long and she doesn't have cluster headaches...  She did have migraines, but they appear to be a thing of the past like my cluster headaches.

After reading more about vitamin D3, it was clear that supplementing with calcium, magnesium and zinc was essential for the body to process vitamin D3 effectively. 

I've also taken Omega 3 Fish Oil for several years and found it had a moderating effect on the frequency of my cluster headaches so I saw no reason to stop taking it.  Omega 3 Fish Oil is also very effective at keeping my cholesterol levels in balance and in the normal range.

In short, there are too many benefits from taking the entire regimen to change anything...

Take care,

V/R, Batch

My next update: 1 week pain free..then I decided to work out - on of my old triggers - each day after I worked out woke up with a mild 1-2 2-3 headache just enough to piss me off. I got hit last night 2:20 after a workout in the afternoon. So my triggers are still triggers it would appear. But the outcome is much better (although I am still beat sitting here at work) still on the batch..cant see a reason to stop.. now the question is, do I stop working out again or deal with the 2-3 headache the next day???

Thanks for the update...

Give this regimen another week or two an you'll have so much energy... you'll need to run...  and there won't be any CH...

Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register

I was cutting fire wood and packing it out of the woods to load my pickup several times a week after six weeks on this regimen...  and no CH!

You're still building 25(OH)D levels, and given the fact you got hit during and after running, you're likely still boarder line vitamin D3 deficient.

Our bodies consume roughly 5,000 I.U. vitamin D3/day...  At a therapeutic dose of 10,000 I.U. a day it can take up to three months to reach the center of the normal reference range of 100-200 nmol/L (40-80 ng/m>).

If you've got the time, ask your doctor for a lab test of your 25-Hydroxyvitamin D, a.k.a. 25(OH)D, and you'll know for sure where you are in the process of going pain free for good.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

Interesting, I have the same condition.  My dentist tells me that me teeth have 'decalcified' due to acidic drinks or something.  I've been using Pro-namel for a couple years now which helped re-mineralize the teeth.  But aside from that, I'd be interested to have my blood tested for that as well.

Hi Jake.  I think it would be really interesting to do a very thorough study of us clusterheads and look for common threads.  We do it on our own on the web and at conferences, but a medical study with dental, blood tests etc.  All the stuff we are thinking may play a part in the attacks.

I just went through some frequent shadows/oncoming cycle.  Every 11 months now it seems to try to sneak back in.  2 doses of RC seeds and 2 light/medium doses of mushrooms and the shadows have been gone for about 2 weeks now.  Beer test coming soon.  I also started on 4-8,000 iu's of vit D (may ramp it up, need to read more about it) and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (with lemonade Batch) daily to lower acidity.  Life is good for now (3 years actually).

All the dental stuff sucks, but my teeth feel back to normal and hopefully I will get the ph thing under control a bit.

Take it easy cluster friends! Wink

Hi all!  I had my blood tested again.  All values are normal, except for Vit. D.  Also - all calcium related values are normal. 

I've been very loyal to Batch' regimen for 3 months now. One month ago my vit D level  (25-OH) was 225 nmol/L. Now it's 295 nmol/L.  That's 
90 and 118 ng/m - both well beyond the reference values - 100-200 nmol/L  (40-80 ng/m).

So my Vit D levels are perhaps too high.  I will begin taking only 5.000 IU every other day.

As for Mr. Cluster - he's still around. I've had  some occasional shadows and some very few hits in the lower KIP area.

This pattern is radically new in my 20+ yrs Cluster career, so as for me, there is no doubt left about the effectiveness of this regimen. The root cause of cluster headaches is apparently not affected, but the symptoms most certainly are. I now live a normal life and informing people that I suffer from cluster headaches almost feel artificial, i really don't suffer at all.

As for other notable effects: Sleep, mood and general health  are affected. Quality of sleep has become exceptionally high. I sleep like a happy child. Also falling in sleep - my usual problem - is generally much easier.  My spirit is higher, no streaks of depression. I'm also quire sure that by body now easily fends off the common cold.

Rune,

Awesome post...  Talk about a game changer...  You're taking us into uncharted waters with respect to controlling CH with this vitamin D3 based regimen.  You've also made two important points that other CH'ers need to understand and remember:

1.  This regimen isn't 100% effective for everyone...  but it can reduce the frequency and severity of cluster headaches to acceptable levels...  without adverse side effects...

2.  Rune has also taken a proactive approach to this regimen with regular tests for 25(OH)D and is adjusting his dose for vitamin D3 accordingly.

Rune has also done his homework... Although he's exceeded the 25(OH)D upper limit of 100 ng/mL (250 nmol/L), he knows he's still a long way from the toxicity threshold level - 200-250 ng/mL (500-750 nmol/L) or the record... according to the experts at the Vitamin D Council... 

It appears the record holders are two Multiple Sclerosis sufferers who were self-dosing on 2,000,000 I.U./day to control the onerous symptoms of their disorder - both men recovered...

See: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register

This is a good read for everyone on the anti-inflammatory regimen or contemplating starting it. 

The last thing we want is bum gouge/misinformation floating around that spooks CH'ers away from giving this regimen a try...

As the Vitamin D3 Council states on the topic of vitamin D3 toxicity... 

"Can too much vitamin D be harmful? Yes, it certainly can - though anything can be toxic in excess, even water. As one of the safest substances known to man, vitamin D toxicity is very rare. In fact, people are at far greater risk of vitamin D deficiency than they are of vitamin D toxicity."

Take care and thanks again Rune.

V/R, Batch

I have had CH for 20 years. I was finally diagnoised in 2004 after going to the emergency room 3 times in two weeks. After that my doctor prescribed me prednisone. I took prednisone until the cycle ended, which was only a guess. After 30 days I would start the taper down from 50ml per day. If I started to feel shadows I would ramp back up for two more weeks. That is all I have ever had for managment of CH and it had worked  until recently. It stopped working and I had forgotten how painful CH can get untreated. I found this website and am I ever thankful. I asked for help and had many people respond. Like start this regiment. Since I can't afford a doctor and the meds right now I have been looking for an alternative that is affordable. I started the "BATCH" regiment today. This may be coincidence, But Even tonight, I do not have the shadow ache that I normally get every night. I will keep everyone updated every day.

Hey Ed,

Thanks for the post and good move on starting the anti-inflammatory regimen.  I think you're going to like it a lot.

BTW, I live 70 miles North of you between Bremerton and Silverdale near a wide spot in the road called Tracyton.  Shoot me a PM and let's see if we can arrange a rendezvous.  It's always a hoot to meet another CH'er.

Take care,

Next update.  End of 3 weeks. Pain free days for 2.5 weeks now. For the most part pain free night 2 times woken up with 1 or 2 slight headaches this always follwed a hardworkout during the day or a run.  I upped my D3 to 15000iu Wednesday and have been great since. Killer workout yesterday slept late today Ifirst time in months) and took a 5 mile run today. If I make it through tonight then I consider myself golden. I will keep D3 up to 15000 for another week then drop it down to 10000 again. Batch I am sceduling a blood test just so you/we can keep adding data to this and help others.  You all have a great (hopefully) pain free day.
