Not to make light of your terrible difficulty S.E. but your last sentence is very funny.

I spoke with Dr. Burish with the Will Erwin Headache Research Foundation and will be meeting with him tomorrow to participate in his study. Very excited!

Hey Nikki, As I'm the CHer who developed the anti-inflammatory regimen and provided outreach on its benefits in preventing CH for the last 8 years to hundreds of CHers, it's best to take this regimen with the largest meal of the day. This helps avoid GI tract disturbances and aids in absorption. Many CHers have found starting this regimen with the 12-Day accelerated vitamin D3 loading schedule taking 50,000 IU/day for 12 days. This is the fastest way to elevate your serum 25(OH)D up into the therapeutic range around 80 ng/mL where most CHers respond with a significant reduction in the frequency of their CH or a complete cessation of CH. After completing the 12-Day loading schedule, drop back to an initial vitamin D3 maintenance dose of 10,000 IU/day. 30 days after starting this regimen it's best to see your PCP/GP for lab tests of your serum 25(OH)D, calcium and PTH. Take care and please keep us posted. V/R, Batch

He's awesome! A very cool, down to earth guy. I'm still super sensitive to sound, so he ensured the nurse taking the blood was aware of my sensitivity. Which, I must add, she was amazing. Whispered to me the entire time, ha! While I was giving blood, Dr. Burish went into the waiting room and asked my Dad if he wanted anything to eat or drink and they chatted until the blood work was completed. Then it was just a simple Q&A / interview session. The greatest part is that he genuinely cares and is focused on what I find most fascinating about CH, the circadian aspects. Yes - He's here in Houston, only a couple hours away. Please participate, let's be pioneers!
