Update and question, @xxx I'm still doing the D3 regimen, I still get the occasional minor cluster but nothing like I used to experience. My latest labs: VITAMIN D, 25-HYRDROXY 148.9 High, 30-100 (ng/mL) CALCIUM, SERUM 9.8 8.7-10.2 (mg/dL) PTH, INTACT 19 L15-65 (pg/mL) So everything is good on that front. My question, has anyone heard of kidney/renal issues due to the high vitamin D3? My pcp advises me against that high of a level saying it will cause kidney issues. Just wondering if anyone else has heard that while doing the regimen? I would have a hard time lowering my D3 if it means my clusters come back. Hope everyone is well. Shaun

Hi Batch, @xxx Things are amazing! I can't thank you enough for this regimen. I never thought I could live a normal life again. I've pretty much settled into my routine: Once a day-mature multi, magnesium, fish oil, super k and the methyl folate (vitamin b) and every 4th day I add a 50,000 IU D3. That seems to keep my headaches completely at bay, when I do get the very occasional cluster it is so mild that I don't need to take anything for it. I do have orders for bloodwork that I plan to do later this month to check on my levels. One question. I'm still taking the methyl folate(vitamin b). Should I still take that? I read on the regimen that I only need to take for 90 days. But since everything has been working so well, I have continued taking it.

Thanks for the reply. I got all my test results: VITAMIN D, 25-HYRDROXY 126.2 High, 30-100 (ng/mL) CALCIUM, SERUM 9.1 8.7-10.2 (mg/dL) PTH, INTACT13 L15-65 (pg/mL) My PTH is low. Now I'm totally confused on what I should do. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm on day 10 of loading (two Bio-Tech D3 50,00IU/day, .5cc/day Micro D# and all the other supplements). I'm still getting hit once a day, which is better I was 5-6/day before starting. I'm scheduled to get my labs on Monday the 19th. Should I keep up the loading dose until CH pain free for two days, I read that in another thread, or drop down to 50,000 IU/day until I get my lab results? Thanks Shaun

Could someone please point me in the direction of Batch's @xxx vitamin D3protocol for managing clusters? Specifically the loading and maintenance dosing. I'm about to start the regimen for the first time and want to make sure I'm doing it correctly. I've been dealing with this for 13 years and kind of at my last resort and hope this will help. Also should I stop taking verapamil while doing this? All help will be appreciated. Thanks Shaun
