Hi Ta, There is a plethora of info on this site specific to the D3 regimen. In the top search bar of the forum just type in D3 and be sure to follow the instructions from a user named Batch (handle XXX) there is more to making the D3 be effective than just taking the D3 (you need to take the co-factors). You never mentioned oxygen so I am unsure if you have a scrip or have tried it or not but many on here swear by it to abort. It works for me from time to time. There is a video on here that goes over the breathing techniques that seem to be effective with a non rebreather mask. I was able to get the intensity of attacks to be manageable without the triptans on the D3 reg. I so understand the frustration with folks mentioning migraine etc. I think a majority of us have gotten that response a time or 2..

Hi Tamari, I am also episodic and truley understand the feeling of constant lurking shadows. I have had them since my first attack. At the advise of some pretty awsome people on here I started using ginger, first tried ginger tea but didn't like the taste so I started taking 1,000 mg organic ginger capsules and I have had several clear/no shadow days. Maybe give it a go. Hope you feel better soon.

LOL Jon this post made me chuckle I have loved this group since the 8th grade as did my Dad.

Always thought that Christine was better than Stevie but that's just me

Love this gal. Such pipes!

Another genera but these guys are cool ..Also shout out to @xBoss for this fun thread!

Diffrent ghenra of music that I appreciate. Dan is just good and is also a part of Alison Krauss's band Station.. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=K3RjWJMOuSQ&feature=share

Sorry your dealing with a high cycle at the moment. Thank you for the info.

Thank you for that explanation. I guess I've been confused about episodic vs chronic

Is that because you get hit daily? If so I really don't get consolation from that fact.. I wish I could be stronger but I feel maxed with the 3 month cycles I already have every year. Idk. maybe I would adjust like you have I just don't feel that strong.

I sure hope to never go chronic...

I'm not as old as this artists time of fame but my Dad introduced me to his era of music when I was a kid and it just stuck

One of my favs

Oh boy.. The nose blowing had me dying!!! Half expected to see a big booger come flying out

Just curious if you have tried the rapid release or the ER (extended release)? I am on the ER and many people say that it doesn't help them but the rapid release has been mentioned on the site with pretty good success (not complete cessation but cutting duration and what not). I would definitely start the D3 as it really has positive responses from many on here.

Here is a free app you can check out. It is rated well but I have not tried it myself. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-pollen-forecast-allergies/id1244428929

This sounds awful! I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.. oxygen dosent work for you? Do you have access to it? Have you see a neurologist or headache specialist? You sound like a veteran at this? I'm not only 3 years in and um I hate it. Not a helpful response but any respons helps get more attention..

I just had this happen to me as well. My eye on my cluster side was tender to the touch and it hurt when I blinked and the outside corner was red. I believe it may have been an internal sty as it never showed up on my upper or lower lid and went away in about a week.

I don't like those either but they are not as bad because it's a big open doughnut.. The contrast is no fun though (makes you instantly hot)...

That's as good of an excuse as any! LOL

It couldn't hurt to get one done. I am not sure where you are located but just be careful when they order it up that its "in-network" as the first one I had they sent me to some "out of network" location and I got a bill for $700.00. I hate getting MRI's as I am claustrophobic and feel like I'm being stuffed into a way to small rocket ship...

Sure seems plausible that it would cause some sort of damage... I know when I had my last MRI it said something about a T2 something or another and when I asked my neurologist he mentioned it being a small white mass that was basically scar tissue he said it wasent of concern unless I had more show up down the road and that it was common in both CHRs and migrainers.... So to me that seems like damage idk...
