Kudzu 81mg, 3 times a day + half red-bull at first signs of pain. helped me reduce both attack-lengths and pain level by 80%. Never think any negative thought under an attack - it increases the pain, and you don't want to increase the pain. Be strict with you thoughts because under an attack - they are useless and meaningless, this has been a life lesson for me in self mind-control. hope your pain goes away forever starting tonight.

I had my D levels tested about 8 months ago. 10 and under is deficient and doctors generally look for 25 and up as a normal range. I was at 15 at the time, so I took supplements. The levels listed in your document are not safe for pregnancy, those levels are nearing toxicity. I'm sure they won't harm someone who isn't pregnant, but the potential is there - or they just have really expensive pee, because that's where all that extra goes. I really appreciate all the advice and I get the urge to turn to alternative medicines when nothing else works. That being said I will ask my dr to test my D levels again just in case something crazy has happened and I'm at some kind of dangerously low level - but again, I highly doubt it. I tend to gravitate towards science and medicine for things like this, and am very skeptical about vitamins which don't have a lot of hard science behind them. But in glad it works for some people. As far as oxygen, it is way, way too expensive for me to afford. I did read over the documents here about how to talk to your doctor about ordering it and the ways you might be able to get it cheaper- and I may go that route, but last week I was in the hospital getting a procedure done, while experiencing a cluster at the same time, and I was on oxygen for 30 mins and it did nothing for me. Anyway, thanks for your time. I will still keep these suggestions in the back of my mind. I am now having classic migraines and tension headaches in between the clusters during the day and am pretty miserable, so I'm still open to at least seeing what can be done if no improvements soon.
