canuck, OMG. What a horrible experience! > The one I see says to quit, of course. But does not blame smoking for CH. Smoke is rolling out of my ears canuck! Yes, an MRI can be very important to rule out other, deadly stuff. He is an arrogant ass. I know that you are in Canada, but can you get a different doc without waiting a year? This is unbelievable!!!!!! :'(

Super job!! Thanks for posting Racer. All who attended are hero's in my book! 8-)

;D ;D ;D Yes, spiny is old. But not in heart or mind CHF!!!!!! :

Echo, It would help me at higher doses. I took 20mg to start and then 10mg later when I was up again. I could buy about 2 hours sleep that way if I was not in high cycle. all the best, spiny

Google shows about a gazillion recipes for Mama Juana!!!!

But terrific puter skills! ;D mrweekend: Please tell Lisa and Jason how much we appreciate their participation in HOH!

That sucks big time. Ice picks are a beotch! > Combined with Clusters would really bite. Had that little combo for two days about two years ago.Â

Oh, I saw your post about YOUR sign that is on all your vehicles and copyrighted so must be purchased thru you on FB. Like I want to put a sticker on my vehicle about CH after I pay you? No.

You sent out a lot of friend requests. So, a sufferer sees the friend request, clicks confirm, and now you have a following. How you decided to 'friend' me is beyond me. Because many of my friends are on FB and not limited to friends only I presume. Request denied. Good luck and PF to you.

Tony, Love the pic!!!! Makes me think about Fractals. Bet that if I could blow it up, it would be Fractals!!!1 spiny

Echo, I would definitely try the D3 regimen, especially considering your location!!!! It is a great aid in treating CH. With your short days, vitamin D would likely be low. Get your level tested first if at all possible. all the best, spiny

Did they use epinephrine in the numbing agent? This will give some an attack. It shrinks the blood vessels to reduce bleeding and is commonly used with zylocaine, etc.

jkandola, With THMH on this! That is great and you are now on your way!!!!!!! Pulling for you here too. spiny

jk, Please don't let them make you think that you are now chronic!!!! I am ECH. But over time and from the meds my cycle went up to 7 months of the year. Just before Fall Equinox till a few weeks after the spring Equinox. My hits were from 8pm till 6am. Four per night at 2.25 hours each. A 15 minute break between hits. But, I was still episodic. When this poop started kicking in on a regular basis, I had one per day and they lasted about three months. That was several years and a boatload of meds ago!! With O2, I could kill the hit in 15-20 minutes, but not lie down or the next one would hit within its' normal 15 minutes. So, I learned to sit up in a recliner to wait for the next hit. At least I was not hurting during that time. Then I found out that a lot of folks with night time hits sleep in a recliner. Go figure. Stay the course and regain your life!!!!!! This whole board is pulling for you! all the best, spiny

DD, I hope you stomp 'em all and take home the money and honors!!!! spiny

Yes, I and others are very sensitive to smells at times. Why don't you use caps? From my understanding they eliminate nausea. I think you grind and stuff 00 caps and eat them. Worth a try.

Same to you Tony. Keep up the great work!!!!! May 2014 be better for everyone! 8-)

Alley, Can't give a true report on CH yet. Shadows still, occasional hit and just thrilled not to be in full cycle again this year! It does improve sleep, energy and appetites too! No bad side affects like zits or facial hair, so good to go. Now, if I just had a muscle boost! Guess I should use some of my energy to lift a few weights. Like the sofa, dining table, etc!!!!! All in all, improvements are great, but I cannot claim any help with CH. spiny

Ok. My hair has stopped falling out now. It may have started due to stress from surgery this summer, like after every long cycle or something else, but it has stopped!!!! Life is getting better with each shot.

You guys are GREAT!!! Thanks to all who have worked on and kept up with this. [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

Big hug to you too Lady, for all your awesome work! [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif] [move]Hip Hip Hurray[/move]

I would suspect that with fewer steps, that would allow contamination, it would be much better. After all, everything is sterile and sealed during the whole process.

Art, Cool. Now we have the bag covered!!! The one sold on here is great and so is the service. Many find 25LPM is a better flow rate, especially at the beginning when you are breathing fast and hard. Since your O2 is prescription, I am not sure if their regulators go beyond 15LPM. The type of regulator will depend on the type of tank. So, if after getting a proper mask and using good breathing methods you are still having some failure rate, we can discuss regulators! spiny

Art, Welcome! The only thing I did not see already covered with the excellent advice given is what kind of mask do you have for your O2? The Optimask is superb and inexpensive. Also, what is your flow rate of O2. All the best, spiny

Bob That is wonderful and already on FB too!!!! You friends have done an incredible amount of work to get us CHer's to this point. Thank YOU for all your hard work! spiny
