Thanks @Bejeeber I will do so going forward. Just wanted to add a huge thanks to you all for this wonderful site I am fortunate to be a part of. See the contradiction there lol. But in all honesty, whilst this world may turn, this world wide web is awesome even when everyone in here are stuck the "web" with pain. I spent the rest of yesterday searching and reading posts on here (which I should have done so in the first place) and I found so much of useful information. After finding one of batches posts where he mentioned that even whilst on a long successful D3 journey, the beast will return with a vengeance and that a 12 day loading dose with the cofactors should stop him eventually again. Luckily, before I read that, some hope was restored cos I took it upon myself to try the loading 1 week now but it wasn't consecutive days. So Im on the right track, just got to be more specific in accordance to the dosage. Like everyone here I guess we all panic at a certain stage when something doesn't work anymore and think the worst. But that post was my string of hope once again. I am not into MMs or seeds etc. Although I did try fee years back. However I prefer the D3 regimen cos it's easy and easier to do if count where I am from. Everyone makes mistakes. I say this cos I am guilty of such and unfortunately during 2019 (which was my worst year) the neurologist dished out very sedative medication, which u am still left trying to ween off. This is why my nocturnals where also so bad. And I , out of desperation to basically get into a comma at night was taking these meds quite a bit. Since then even though I have learnt that sedation and seratonin will make the beast trigger happy, I tried tappering of these sleeping pills and antidepressants. It's 2022 and I'm almost done with 1 more. That's how long it took me cos I tried to go cold turkey with it once and I almost died after the meds left my system out of shock I guess. Like some of us in here also, I just lost my job sadly because if the clusterheadaches and I'm left sitting in the lounge staring at a manifest that only I can see on the wall in front of me till my spouse come from work. I don't have the enthusiasm to even click the remote to switch the TV on some days. Alot of fatigue and feeling depressed and anxious like I mentioned in my previous post on anxiety and depression. However I put it down to the the last sedative med leaving my system. 1 week ago also I started prednisone even though I know what it did to my hips. This was because I couldn't get enough oxygen in time as the company I get it from are really delayed in reactivating my account. I still didn't get the required tank yet and hope they have sorted by today. So I have only a really small one that a friend at the pharmacy sent me. This tank looks like my big tank gave birth. So I'm trying to savour it in the meantime. I'm writing all this especially the part where maybe some of us want to relax and teach out for wrong stuff to feel good cos we are all so fed up. But I learnt a valuable lesson to NEVER reach for that again and stick diligently to the D3, cos it is the only way I can live a "normal" life. If there is such a thing. On day 12, I will update on my progress. Thanks and pain free to all. ❄️

I'm glad your going to check out the full Monte. I'm so sorry about the nocturnal hits and I can't speak much 2 them as I've only had 2 short lived attacks during sleep. Both were warded off with o2 and some coffee but I sure don't wish night hits on anyone (I thrive off of sleep).. and feel like it plays a huge part in health. Just don't give in or up.. carry this as long as possible because life is a gift!

@BoscoPiko Thank you so much for your input... we were about to give up on the D3 Regimen after doing (several) loading doses initially as a preventative. The cycle has well and truly started now so starting up another 12 day loading dose of 50,000IU D3 / daily but unfortunately to no real success. I'll take a look at the Full Monty you and Batch speak of. Very early in an episodic cycle so the daytime attacks are minimal but really getting hit with the nocturnal attacks.

I think sometimes when he we mention Batch by his forum name @xxx in a post, he may be more likely to see a notification of it.

Hi Snowflake, I know you addresses this to Batch and hopefully he will see your question soon. I just wanted to tell you not to give up on the D3 regimen just yet. I started with the original D3 reg as provided by Batch but had to start doing the "full monte" form of the reg that adds in a few extra supplements and increases dosage levels of some supplements for certain durations of time. The original D3 protocol really helped to tamper down the intensity levels of the hits but I never reached cessation unless out of cycle. I had to increase the levels of quercetin to 2,000 mg a day along with 2,000 mg of curcumin, 2,000 mg of resveratrol and 200 mcg of super selenium complex & vitamin E. I had already been on the COQ10, so I just kept doing that. What I’m saying is that you need to keep tweaking the protocol until you find what your body requires. I have had so few CH attacks in the past 8-almost 9 months now that I am still in awe of these natural supplements. I have also been doing RC seeds every 3 to 4 weeks or directly after a hit but I tend to feel like the supplements are doing the majority and just get an added boost with the RC on a maintenance level. Keep working on it and hang in there! Quick Edit: I forgot to mention that prior to this regimen, I had only ever gotten 3 to 4 months off ever!
