Hey guys...it works!!! Briefly..I am an episodic male, 36 yrs old..have had the demon since 19, diagnosed at the montifiore clinic in the bronx at 29 yrs old..have lived on verapamil and imitrex with occasional prednisone doses when it got to the point where a 9mm looked appetizing...in calif i had them 2x per year every spring and fall, in NY they were OUT of CONTROL viscious 9's and 10's for 2-3 months, typically 4-6 per day...i currently live in the south east where they are relatively mild (can a ch ever be "mild"??? Anyway...i have been in a cycle 4 weeks, the past couple of days they went nutz..culminating in 5 in a 24 hrs period (6's & 7's) i had started looking for the shrooms 3 weeks ago and finally got them last night...this morning woke with a 3..and by the time i made the tea it was a 5 and running! i was bathed in sweat as i mixed them up and in desperation gulped it down (i live alone and was kind of timid about the doage..i never felt the "2 beer buzz" but within 10 min the CH was GONE!!! admittedly i have a very high metabolism (upper GI from several years ago but me at about 45 minutes from injestion to intestine (hey that rhymes :)..anyway i digress...today not even a hint of a problem...i am afraid i used too little however even a little worked! so i will keep you guys posted...but it seems to at very least to have provided me with hope, a pain-free day..and has done WONDERS for my mood....in fact tonight i am goin out to dinner and leaving the imitrex home!feel free to email me with any questions...
