Internal Medicine\Choirpractic Dr.?
Mar 7^th, 2013 at 7:52pm

I'm in the 8th week of my second cycle. I'm on Varapamil and the vita d regimen. Started feeling much better last few days actually pain free today. A few weeks ago I went to a Internal Medicine Dr. I was told he did enzyme testing and might be able to help figure out any deficiencies. Seen him a few times now. Insurance does not cover him and he isn't cheap, Not really getting any answers I want from him and seems like a bunch of chiropractic work that seems to inflame my trigeminal nerve. Not sure if I should continue to go and should I just have requested blood test from PCP to find any problems other than Vita D. Love to know if anyone else has done anything similar and the results.
Thanks

It did not work for me an i spent a virtual 4000 dollars. It might work for you. I did feel better afterwards. They are doing something right.

I just feel like I know more about cluster headaches that he does and we are going through the motions so he can get paid. Plus I have a Neuro that is willing to listen.

Does it help? It did not for me. It relaxed me. For a price.

So far no. He also has me on a no sugar diet. I understand that blood sugar play a part with headaches but have read on here that blood sugar levels do not play a part in cluster headaches. My PCP checks my blood sugar every year and has never been a issue. My pain had moved to my neck and top of my head and he wants to do neck x rays but thats how most of my headaches were in my first cycle and I have read on here that it is common for the headaches to move to the neck and top of the head. Seems like I could save myself a bunch of cash and just work with my Neuro who has given me prevent and abort meds along with oxygen. I was hoping to discover a way to help through nutrition but it sounds like its gonna continue to be pricey and Batch's vita d regimen might be the answer anyway, seems like it is working for me after a couple weeks feeling much better.

Started it about the same time as the Vita D Regimen . first 7 weeks were rough but seemed like the combo of the 2 is working. Today was fist day pretty much pain free since Jan 16. Mine are during the day and last most of the day.

Give Verapamil a chance. Take the normal ones. Non retard. Here the building up from mu doctor:

Morgen Middag Avond
2 weken: 120mg 120mg
Laat ECG maken; bij normaal ECG ga verder:
2 weken neem: 120mg 120mg 120mg
Laat ECG maken; bij normaal ECG ga verder:
2 weken: 120mg 120mg 240mg
Laat ECG maken; bij normaal ECG ga verder:
2 weken: 240mg 120mg 240mg
Laat ECG maken; bij normaal ECG ga verder:
2 weken: 240mg 240mg 240mg
Laat ECG maken; bij normaal ECG ga verder:
2 weken: 240mg 240mg 360mg
Laat ECG maken; bij normaal ECG ga verder:
2 weken: 360mg 240mg 360mg

It's in Dutch. Discuss with your Doctor. "weken" is weeks. every two weeks an ECG.

Morgen= morning
Middag = midday
Avond = evening

So every two weeks you are building up
