How has busting changed your cycles ?

[didgens]

Someone else has probably already started a tread like this so forgive me if this is an old request revisited.

Busting - combined with ongoing daily vitamin D3 therapy - has caused my cycles to cease for well over a year now.

I'd say that's a change.

[Bejeeber]

And Brew was a CHRONIC CH'er(!).

Prior to busting, I was getting 1-5 attacks every 2-3 days. I had nearly 260 cluster attacks that year, with the longest cluster free gap lasting 11 days.

Started busting and my PSTD went away after the first bust. 20-30 minutes of crying after every attack takes a lot out of you when you are having 250+ attacks a year.

The following year, my clusters eased and reduced to 1-2 a day, occasionally 3, and very rarely 4. Also, I had 3 or 4 cluster free gaps of up to 23 days, and 2 weeks without an attack was quite common.

Busting gave me my life back.

Also, the year prior to busting I had 43 migraines. The year following, 3.

Yes, I guess in retrospect I should have put the word cycles in quotes.

Love ya, Jeebs!

My first time it helped - a week later completely blew them away... Now I just do maintenance doses every 4 months now...I was doing the maintenance dose every 2 months as well but have been able to stretch it out... In fact I was just thinking to myself the other day - oh crap I better get growing again before I am sorry..

I have been PF now for going on 2 years with the help from regular maintenance doses. I still avoid booze like the plague though.

Dosing quarterly and pushing to get to 3 times a year and I am CH free for over a year.  Would be 4 years but I thought I had it beat and then got the crap kicked out of me!  I will dose till the day I die(might be a song in there...).  NOTHING else worked so it is what it is.

Episodic not chronic.  Almost always at night.  Kip 8-9 for 3 hours always wanted to be dead.  Don't dial 911 it comes with lights and noise - very bad!  Never tried to explain my pain to anyone as it seemed impossible to comprehend for myself...

God bless this site!  Looking forward to Chicago!!!

If I eat some shrooms or LSD every 2 months I tend to skip cycles. If I fail to dose it's all over, the beast returns.
