Got my first shot Tuesday, had a migraine when I went to get it and about 1 hour after the shot the headache went away. Woke up at 4:30 on Wednesday with a migraine that lasted to 12:30am. Today all is back to normal. Thank god it did not wake the beast! Second shot on April 27......... hoping it’s a non event. thanks guys.

Hi Rush. Concerned about panic attacks during a bust? I think everyone here knows exactly what rant I'm about embark upon once again - I'll try to keep it semi-condensed this time: Valium (or Xanax) can prevent those, and it isn't known to mess with the therapeutic aspects of the busting substance. Personally I think of it as insurance against a bad trip, and never leave home bust without it. OK I did try San Pedro Cactus powder for one bust and felt zero anxiety that time, so I skipped the benzo, but for vitamin M or vitamin L I find good old fashioned valium to be the shiznit (many others have reported the same, and it has also long been used in ER rooms for those admitted with bad trips).

I have thought a lot about busting, but it's been so long since I have had a full blown panic attack I am to paranoid to try ... ( have often wondered if my little trips in the seventies caused these damn CH's in the first place lol :].. I can just see me having a panic attack "while" I am having a CH ! .. makes you wonder how much a person can take arghhh.. Wish you luck with it, sounds like on the downside Take Care!!

I'm doing Keto and Vitamin D3 regimen. I've done Vitamin D3 regimen many, many times in the past. My cycles are normally 7 weeks. Right now I'm on week 9 (pretty odd for me). The first six weeks were a straight up walk in the park. If I felt a shadow, I would take two advil and a ginger capsule, lay down for 5 minutes and feel completely normal. By week 7 I was having to hit the oxygen. Now my days feel pretty standard compared to past cycles. I've been getting terrible attacks every other day, or every two days, and have lots of shadowing and "electricity" feelings around my eye and cheek bone most of the time. For the first six weeks I was saying "Wow. Keto plus D3 regimen is my silver bullet!" Now I'm wondering if it has made my cycle longer. But, ultimately I am grateful for the walk-in-the-park first six weeks and do ultimately believe it has been very helpful.

Kudos on the lifestyle change! In 2018 I ditched alcohol, gluten, dairy and meat. I'm living in the best physical condition of my life and the Beast is still there, always there.

I'm happy to hear that has worked for you so far and I hope it continues. I have gone a similar clean eating nutrition route. Also, in September 2018 I even went all-in on intermittent fasting (no eating for 12-16 hours, then I eat a normal amount of calories in remaining hours). I lost 32 pounds in 14 months. We even experimented by reintroducing some foods back into my diet short term to see if they would trigger CH. Anything to isolate the beast. Bottom line... My weight went down, my blood panel numbers (including micronutrients) improved dramatically across the board, and my energy went up. Unfortunately, I also went from episodic to chronic CH during that time. I feel better but can do less because of my debilitating CH condition. I had a seven-day stretch in early November when I had only four attacks. I thought for sure I was headed back into remission. That was followed by seven days with 35 attacks. There were no changes in nutrition, sleep or anything except some youthful optimism at the beginning of the second week. At least for me, CH is definitively not nutrition-related.
