Hi Pete & co, I have been recommended by Craig Stewart to ask Batch for advice here. My story is I started CH in the spring of 2021, four attacks per day over three months, I was 59 years old. Fortunately got to see a neurologist quite quickly who diagnosed me and got me on sumatriptan nasal shots, later followed by oxygen. Remained pf the rest of the year and started the Vit d regimen in February 2022, all was great I missed potentially the spring cycle but October I started to get a few shadows so after getting advice I upped the Vit d until I was at 50k. I had a 7 hour flight for a holiday and on landing the beast struck hard! I upped the Vit d to 100k and it tailed off to one attack over night. I experimented with increases plus the extra co factors inc turmeric etc and over the course of my holiday I was having pf days but some nights I was having attacks. By the time I got home, after two attacks on the plane home I was taking 250k, I then had one last push to 300k in a last ditch attempt but to no avail, clear all day but two attacks overnight without fail. I then decided to stop the Vit d as obviously I was aware it could cause problems. I got my bloods done which I’ve attached, my GP was a tad shocked but after I explained what I was doing she fully understood why! So my plea here is, what did I do wrong or is it that it just doesn’t work for me. I’ve been so good for 18 months and really thought the Vit d was keeping me in a great place, any help you can give me I would really appreciate, thank you
