  1. I can’t say I’ve tried AI tracking tools, but it sure sounds like a good idea (thank you), while we wait for AI to figure out the 100% effective for all CH’ers, zero side effects treatment (some of us tapping fingers impatiently ).
  2. I haven't been traveling a lot in recent years, but when I do, I don't bring along all of the individual supplement bottles - I condense my pills into a dispenser something like this one, and that works well enough for me. With all the pills so many people take, I imagine they are plenty commonly found in luggage and carry on, and TSA doesn't bat much of an eyelash when they see them.
  3. I neglected to mention that, guzzling the kool-aid and buying into the positive Amazon reviews, I have used the EXACT SAME THERAWORX AS @CHfather, and I was also shocked at how reliably and consistently it worked for relief of intense leg cramps - for me, it has routinely worked to relieve full blown cramps in progress, and I still religiously keep it at the bedside in case. This is iron clad proof that the world's greatest minds think in an identical fashion , although I'll admit I hadn't thought to try it right before bed as a possible preventative. I'm also now starting to consider the greatest mind @FunTimes comment about too much caffeine as a possible culprit.
  4. I very much like, and vigorously salute, the @FunTimes reply, and will just add my experiences as an adult life-long nocturnal cramps experience-er, whose wake up calls have been largely in remission for going on a year now: They can be a moving target, just like our 'ol CH buddy. Magnesium citrate worked for me for keeping them at bay for like a couple years at one stretch, then failed. Magnesium gluconate seemed to help at one point also, but individuals apparently can have different reactions to different forms - citrate worsens cramps for one family member, but gluconate doesn't Yep, the potassium-rich foods bananas, avocados, potatoes and sweet potatoes can potentially help significantly (at least until the target may shift) I didn't realize the sudden wake up cramps could be anything other than a ridiculously huge emergency-feeling level of painful until more recently when I had a couple that were a strange and thoroughly unfamiliar kind of 'moderate' I'm known to do occasional 'walking lunge' type leg exercises. Not sure what, if anything they're doing for me in the cramp department, but my current remission has coincided with the addition of this 'Advanced Electrolytes' supplement, one pill with dinner. I might question whether especially high doses of potassium are really required, but of course am fully acquainted with the desperate times/desperate measures mindset many of us here have been known to adopt courtesy of the CH!
  5. That's some weird, suspect timing following the implant, but even though epinephrine at the dentist is a notorious trigger for some, the fact that the repercussions would typically be expected more instantly makes it sound like coincidence can't be entirely ruled out(?). Also, as you may be well aware, even following decades of consistent behavior, we can still expect CH to pull a change up on us, and start a cycle in a never-before-experienced fashion, such as a slow ramp up with advil etc. abort-able attacks at first. Hate to think it, but I would be bracing for some possible continued ramping up.
  6. First, thank you @Craigo for the poll, and second, I do have to agree with @BoscoPiko on this one:
  7. Dr. Graham's Credibility takes the biggest of hits right there.
  8. Plus you have the (Moog??!!) modular synth action going on in the background, which....OK....may have nothing to do with CH, but is cool as hell.
  9. Interesting indeed. My, we're quite the lovely bunch, aren't we? The Google sheet sounds interesting, too, if it was quick and easy enough (what kind of personality trait does "wants things to be quick and easy" come under?
  10. Sorry to hear of this @Snowflake. Of course @Shaun brearley has called attention to a best immediate course of action.
  11. Cycles extending longer than anticipated seems common, and that would include versions where the attacks are milder and fewer/farther between in the extended weeks. There has also been a minor flurry of reports as of late of CH'ers ending a cycle, only to have it then start right back up again for them. Weird that that one has struck a cluster of clusterheads all in a row, but as I more carefully read your report, it sounds like this fortunately will not be the case for you.
  12. Especially going by @BoscoPiko's reaction, not willing to put my money where my mouth is and even give that a single viewing.
  13. I guess I've just personally been clueless and totally missing out - gonna head straight to the garage and rummage behind boxes and stuff in hopes of making up for lost time.
