Jeesh .. I really need to grow some already and try this alternative method...I wish I wasn't so apprehensive .. maybe I'm just not at the wits end I need to be yet. Anyhoo I sure hope you are getting an occasional EKG at that dosage of verapamil (I was at that level and had to cut back due to heart issues) (some doc's won't require it and you may have to request). Positive thoughts (even if most likely won't help) sent your way!

you are in a dire place, i think most of us have been at. that's why it's important to have an arsenal of remedies ready. like a boyscout you have to always be prepared. Your List should include: oxygen oxygen!! oxygen!!! vitamin d3 protocol+cofactors Tryptamines (LSD, MM, Seeds) IMHO both verapamil and triptans like zomig are a double edge sword. they take the edge off and mask the cluster but i swear to god those medications made my condition worse. i can not prove it but i am almost certain that that is the case. i have read numerous reports from sufferers over the years that state the same. bonus as time goes on you will have to up the verapamil, that's how the story goes. and at some point you start feeling the side effects. i felt like a zombie, with severy constipation and waterpooling in my legs, mind you i am a very active and athletic person. it was hell and not worth it. oxygen and magic mushrooms/lsd saved my life and my sanity. i am forever grateful to this board it's initiator and members. the drugs doctos perscribe are all offlabel use...make what you will of that. good luck!

I haven't done the D3 protocol but looking to start shortly. My doctor was onboard with it immediately which I gather is not always the case. Had my baseline bloods done yesterday and awaiting the results. I did watch a video / interview by @CraigStewartand the guy Batch that came up with the regimen. I think I remember him saying that you need to be taking it with a main meal so that the fats can break down the chalky magnesium. I think it may have mentioned that you could break the dose down so rather than taking the whole dose of Magnesium with one meal you could try taking half with breakfast (as long as there is some fats) and the rest with dinner. This may help improve things around back. Going to be interesting to see how I get on and I wish you luck on your journey. You can watch the interview here:

Good advice CHF. I do use the dose pack too, with good effect. Fewer days, but good relief for me. My Neuro just gives me a script for three of them per year. I am good till I go down to one a day. Perhaps I am just lucky there. And it is easier with a 'regular' doc to get that script if that is the way you have to go. It is amazing what a few days off can do for your mental health.
