Nooooo!!! We need you here!

Kelly, the after pain you speak of sounds to me like what is often referred to as shadows, which are common. Headbangers have found ways to suppress shadows, such as ......ginger. As a person who is willing to listen to anyone, it sure is fortunate that you ran right into people who are long, long LONG time studiers of everything that can relieve CH, and constant observers of how well things work among the CH populace. IMO they are without exaggeration some of the world's foremost lay experts on the practical realities of fighting CH!

Two months is the shortest full cycle I've ever had. When Prednisone has worked, the cycles end almost immediately.

Ditko', hoping for good things for you to continue. Good work on splitting those doses! As Jeebs said, you're in a great position for busting with truffles, something that has helped lots of people with CH, so do look at those busting files -- and do seriously consider the D3.

I tried acupuncture and chiropractor for a couple of years. Neither Offered any relief.

Just a quick word to add here. Sumatriptan is known to increase the number of hits and/or prolong a cycle for some who take it. So, it could be part of the problem. Verapamil is usually the best preventative in Pharma. You are started on a dose of X. Then, it is increased incrementally until relief is attained. O2 is usually your best friend for aborts. Non-toxic and very quick aborts with proper flow and breathing techniques. And, of course, there is the 'morphing' problem where your CH will just change on its; own which may be part of what is happening. I am very sorry that it returned for you.

Hi Ditko, Agreed with the input from CHf. And since you're looking into anything that can help you fight back the monster, I would suggest prioritizing looking into what so many of us have found to be the most effective preventive, bar none: Busting (warning: pharma can block the therapeutic effects of busting). I'm saying this especially since it is 100% legal there in Amsterdam where psilocybin truffles are sold in shops. You could try searching this forum to see reports from others in The Netherlands.

Chiropractic and acupuncture probably won't help you. Might be worth trying, of course. Some people get some relief. It's not a "structural" problem.

Verapamil is usually the first choice. Busting: Look through the numbered files in the ClusterBuster Files section and ask questions
