So for the last few months (ever since upping my D game to the full Monte). My nose has been so dry that it is cracked and bleeding and hurts to wiggle... (Really sucks if you need to bewitch someone).. Anyhoo I was reading that antihistamines can cause the nasal passage to dry out to this extent. I had been using neosporin but it didn't help. I switched to Vaseline and it has done wonders! I also read that it traps allergens so that's a plus. I most certainly feel like I owe a ton to this regimen as my last attack was on the third of July.. a one off I hope! I have been due for a cycle for a month and some change but nope nada. I suppose what I'm getting at is that if your gonna go full Monte you may benefit from Vaseline to the nostrils...

LOL I'm good Jeebs. I love you guys but I know when I'm out ranked Poor Titan was just looking for 4/hrs. of sleep and look at all this info he got! (I mean that admiringly) because even with a little bicker & banter the info is good!

I don't know much about steroids other than you most likely don't want to continue them often. As far as breaking your cycle you might want to check out the blue ribbon at the top of each forum page "new users please read here first" sometimes we have to go outside of the typical treatments provided to us by Doctors/health care providers. As for your second question regarding the D3 regimen, I see no reason to discontinue it even when out of cycle, nothing wrong with a well boosted immune system! Lastly being declined health services even when willing to pay out of pocket does seem discriminatory. Maybe try and find a headache specialist center as they would be more likely to help you than even a high ranked neuro... On a final note I wonder what would happen if you just told them that you don't have insurance?

I would think that Covid possibly depleted your D levels and opened the door for the cluster bunny. There have been a few reports of attacks after contracting Covid and I think one or two after the vax. I would bolster up your system with the D3 regimen and since you were recently sick maybe do a loading session first.

It was jeeb .. I hesitated to swipe my card. I was out so I swiped..

I'm sure this is not just a me thing.. But I ran out of a few supplements today which I'm normally very good about keeping on auto order. Made an emergency trip to GNC and 2 bottles of COq10, 2 bottles of curcumin cost me $295.00. I'm a comfortable person financially but this is unreal! At this rate it will be costing upwards of $1,200 every 2 months for me to continue the full Monte reg... I am just feeling defeated and like my health costs are going to rob me from any thing else I get to do with my funds.. I have Kaiser insurance ( a platnum plan ) but they refuse to cover any natural supplements?? I'm just angry at the moment. I suppose this makes me even more angry because I know how tight money is these days for not so comfortable folks! Sorry for the rant you guys I'm just peeved....

That's a great step forward in the right direction!! So glad to hear that she is on her way to recovering.

That's awesome!!!!

Thanks Jeeb! I had just released a batch of lady bugs (you can purchase them) and yes they eat all kinds of bad stuff and are 100% non toxic LOL...

Thank you Spiny! It has been a bit more work than I anticipated but has also been so worth it!

No big deal and thank you for the info. I have been on the keto lifestyle of eating for years (well prior to it's popularity). Unfortunately it has never done anything for my CH but everyone is different and I am happy you have found something that has helped you! Like Spiny said "If it's safe and works for you" keep it up!

The greenhouse is producing quite nicely and was doing so well before I left..... Unfortunately the gal that I hired to pet sit and water my outside and deck plants did not pay attention when I showed her how to access the water and she accidentally turned the water off to the timers in the greenhouse which also feeds the evaporative cooler Fortunately the motor did not blow and most of the plants survived a few 103 degree days but I lost all my seedlings and a very nice bell pepper plant.. I had to do a little clean up of the dead leaves here and there but it is back to beautiful.. Oh and @spiny I do have a lovely captains chair in there with a cup holder and reading/writing platform. Sometime I just sit in there and relax. I don't think you can see the chair in the picks as the plants block it but here are a few update picks since the last ones.. I can't believe that the site is letting me upload so much! That file size issue must be fixed..?

Thank you Jeeb and Spiny!

Great news! So happy for you Shaun!!

Hi everyone, I made it home and through the wedding without a banger I thought for sure I would get hit but I made a batch of seeds the day after getting there and I think that's what got me through as I was getting some pretty bad warning signs on the way there but it all worked out. Don't like being there much but I made the best of it and i even got a chance to have dinner with my childhood best friend..

Your the best jeebs. I'm gonna be A OK. This place is just hard for me in all its beauty.. haven't been back here in years and it just feels off. I'm praying that I make it through the wedding and brought a small stash of seeds with me in an effort to double up my ability to be a part of this special event..

No idea why this double posted. And I sure hope you are all well.

Well I made it here to the wedding location with minor spikes to the left (cluster side is the rt.) Spikes to the left mean a doozy is imminent. I'm 5 hours from home and have 02 with me as well as some nasal spray which I won't use as the spray is a triptan. I hate being here as it's my home town and the memories flood. Wish I could say better ones outweigh the bad but they don't. I am on the coast and this place is beautiful just wish my memories of being here matched...so much of my life started here ..

Fingers crossed for ya!

Hi Titan, Sorry you're still getting hit. I am assuming that the 02 you tried was just to try and see if it would help you sleep/stay asleep without waking to a hit? You would need at least 15lpm if trying to abort. I typically start trying to abort at 25 then go down to 15 when I can't keep up any longer. Have you tried taking melatonin prior to going to bed? It has helped some on here if I recall correctly.

Awesome news Shaun! So glad she got through the surgery!!!

Sounds like the road is still long but I am so happy to hear some improvement! And yea what Bejeeber said I said!

This made me think of all the goofball things I do when being hit lol. Walk circles in the garrage, swing hands rotating them at the wrist like im strumming a guitar, talk to it like "it" has a conscious "for f@c#'! Sake can you just stop... Of course none of this works but it does give the illusion to anyone within sight that I'm bat shit crazy and most likely not a good idea to approach.. oh and gives me a little cardio and DISTRACTION. I never have learned how to sit still through it, I suppose I have yet to find my inner zen of calm @Titan32 I'm happy you got so much feedback on here and from some really great pain experienced/CH knowledgeable people and hope to hear some positive progress feedback from you soon. Take care!

Well there ya go the most awesome @Bejeeber sent you what you need to start the D3. I would start it straight away..
