wow. thanks for all the great advice. i do agree that O2 is huge. i do not have a regulator or mask, and where do i find a welder supply store? and what do i tell them i need an O2 tank for? and how do i get it refilled? i had regulator machines before when i had insurance that gave me a max of 16ml. as for the D3 - that was very helpful, just in one night. of course i took everything with dinner, and probably did not eat a very CH worthy meal (hot dogs) - never paid much attention to food triggers over last 16 years of CH. so about 2 hours after eating, i had a very bad attack. i went outside and walked briskly for close to an hour. (would have run, but legs are so freakin sore at this point from constant running and elliptical work!). finally subsided so i could watch the tigers finish off the yankees!. however, when i went to bed, i did have 4 attacks through the night. But 3 of them were aborted within 5 minutes by walking, and the 4th took about 15. so i dare to presume that the D3 played a helping hand in that. so thank you for that info. now if i could just figure out how to eat right!

thank you for the reply. i am heading to the pharmacy to try the vitamin D3 thing. Still unsure about the RC thing. My saving grace and what gets me through cycles is that i know they are going to end in a couple months. Mine may not be as bad as others i see posting on here because even in a cycle i usually only hit levels 9 or 10 maybe 5 or 6 times during the cycle. My biggest problem usually during a cycle is that being exhausted brings about more daytime attacks, so i will also try an energy drink or redbull when that happens. right now its coffee. thanks again for the help.

Hey all. I am new here, dealing with episodic CH for 16 years, and used a lot of info off clusterheadaches.com over the last 5-6 years. In a cycle now- first one in a few years. thought i felt one coming about a year and a half ago, took melatonin for two weeks and never got a a headache. didnt work this time around. I never had any success with meds such as prednisone and imitrex and wont ever go back to those. have used O2 in the past to some degree of relief, but unfortunately this time around, no health insurance, no doctor and no money... so that leads me to the question of the RC seeds. I will readily admit i am very nervous about taking that route, not necessarily from a legality standpoint, but due to the fact that i have never done psychadelic drugs, or any drugs for that matter, and am a 12 year sober alcoholic. i am just hoping that some of you who have done it can shed some light and share your experiences a little, beyond what i have been able to find on here. when it comes to things like this - i am afraid i will make it wrong, have a huge trip or something will go wrong. im not a chemical engineer, nor a farmer, nor a real smart guy! so i guess just looking for some piece of mind if i decide to try it. thanks all.
