Peter Batcheller does reply to posts on the site but now goes by the name of XXX. you can also DM him and he will reply to you. He is a very helpful and well known man in this community. You send him your number and I am confident he would call you and help the best he can. He may be slow to reply because he does go to a remote location on a fishing trip every year. I know this from experience and speaking with him on a few occasions myself.

Hi I am a chronic CH... I began Vit D protocol... on day 7 headaches stopped... miraculous... after day ten reduced Vit D to 30k daily .. headaches came back... went back up to 40k iu And no headaches.... again went down to 30k and on 4 th day headaches again.. so back up to 40k is this a safe dose to stay on for awhile? My Vit d level was 79 when I started... Calcium level was normal. thx for any help.

My first thought reading the first paragraphs was hemicrania continua (HC). https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21538-hemicrania-continua It's a characteristic of HC, in contrast to CH, that oxygen doesn't work the way it does with CH (which I would say is true of what you are describing). Also, triptans typically don't work, either. But sometimes they work a little. There are several types of hemicrania. The good news, if you have a hemicrania, is that it is treatable with a medication, indomenthacin. In fact, that is the diagnostic test for hemicrania -- whether indomethacin successfully treats it. If you do have reason/opportunity to test Indo, be sure to look around the web for proper dosage. There are a lot of recommendations about that.

Does Pete Batcheller ever reply to questions about the protocol?

if the Ca levels are ok it should be safe (not a doctor) i'd keep on getting my blood levels checked regularly though. i have been taking 20.000 units a day for over 2 years now with no problem or side effects
