Hello all. Question re the vitamin d regimen. I’m finally in remission (although still waiting for the Emgality to wash the rest of the way out of my system…..going on now 13 weeks). I’m going to start the Vit D regimen to the fullest of my ability in hopes of aiding in extending remission/tamping down the next cycle. Trouble is that my body does not tolerate any magnesium. I’ve tried a few different formulations, including glycinate, and they all cause GI issues. Is there a version of the regimen without magnesium? If I cut out magnesium, are there other cofactors to adjust? Haven’t started yet; just trying to get the plan nailed down. Thanks for your thoughts.

First be careful, I recall my grandfather using nicotine as a very effective rat killer, it is a drug and can be highly toxic in larger amounts. As for smoking and ch, I had quit for over a year and had seen no effect on my hits, but I do smoke again now. I just find it as a distraction, kind of focus my mind off the pain for a while, but other than that, I find for myself it really changes nothing with severity, timing, duration in any noticeable way.

Good question @lbh, maybe Batch @xxx will have encountered this and be able to offer a workaround. And heck I may have some personal interest in the subject, as I suspect I may have been able to correlate a brief wave of evening nausea to nights when I've taken magnesium glycinate following dinner.

I am assuming you are referring to vaping? I am an x-smoker and became as such by weening off the cigs by using the Juul. They come in as little as 23mg of nicotine. I suppose if you smoked more than a pack a day you would most likely be at around 59mg of nicotine. So somewhere around a half a pack would be 29mg. What I experienced with vaping is that it's far to convenient (no smell, clothes don't stink, can get away with it indoors etc.) so even if you lower the nicotine % in whatever fluid or pod you are using you tend to just use it more to compensate for the lack of nicotine. The subject of smoking and CH has come up quite a few times on here and the studies that have been presented don't seem to hold much weight. Additionally nicotine could be a trigger for you so if you are in cycle and smoke it may seem to bring the CH on? I know smoking is a hard habit to kick but I also was told by my neuro that most likely quitting wouldn't help. It's sorta like once you got it you got it? Oxygen helps many on here so I'm glad you have that abortive however I've only aborted with it once but continue to try different breathing strategies. I don't know if you are on the D3 reg but i recommend it for the simple fact that it has been the only thing that has seemed to help me. Wishing you pain free days!
