My experiences with busting (bloggity)

Well folks today is D day. I will take my first dose of Hawaian Baby woodrose seeds tonite. I am staring off with two seeds. I am detoxed. I was allowed to take my siebellium a preventative and my syntrhoid. I am also allowed Advil or tylenol. Last week I started shadowing in my right eye and drank red bull each day for that. On Tuesday I got a migraine level four and aborted it with red bull. So far no hits of CH but my right eye is hurting today a shadow. I do not feel I am going into my cycle yet though. So that is where I stand on the status of CH. A good time to start dosing till see if it will ward off my expected cycle anytime between SEpt and Nove. If the cycle comes I am hoping for a better or improved one and abortive relief along with my O2.
I am in a good frame of mind , hopeful and excited. Sam my son will babysit me tonite for my first dose. I will take the recommended dose of skullcap mixed with orange juice 3 hours before. I will have some fruit fours hours before dosing, Can't eat 3 hours after dosing either. Maybe I will lose some weight in the process 
Well family cheers. I will let y'all know how it went tomorrow.

Good luck Ricky I'm sure you'll be fine!
I generally dose in the mornings, it works better for me. I then have lots I can do to keep busy during the day and I've never had any post dose hits that way.
Dosing in the evening I found I was sitting contemplating everything going on whether it could be related or not and I was just thinking too much!
I'm up to day ten of PF time and I'm looking forward to having you join me
Anything you want, you know where we all are

I work during the day so I want to see how I react ie sleepy. Can't feel worse than post dosing of Imitrex though . Or Prednisonde running around like a mad woman wanting to shoot someone. lol. I have worked through the craziest of symptoms and feeling more than like crapy. Anytime I take a new med or in this case a substance I start in the eves or weekends to see how things go. I plan to walk 15 k tomorrow morning and Sunday am too

and Oh yeah who can forget that infamous week of Topamax when I nearly threw myself out the window at work and My gf came from half way across town to get me and my boss came running . They sat with me till the feeling passed and I went home with my gf who babysat me for the rest of the day. My neuro promptly told me to quit cold turkey. He was sad that I had a psychotic reaction from it because it was helping prevent headaches. Could not do anything else and was useless but no headaches sigh.......

Good luck, Ricky. For me a good time to dose was mid-afternoon. I don't think it really matters as long as you do it on an empty stomach. Here's hoping this will stop an episode before it starts.

I just dosed at 8:00 and in five minutes I felt "something" very mellow and colors are a little brighter. I think I got the equivalent of two seeds. I had a hard time getting the goodies out the husks so I did three seeds. I feel just slightly nauseous but really it is nothing compared to other meds I have taken. Wow my eye pain went away. This is great. Just the beginning. I expect a very long "trip" and very mellow. I am listening to good reggae music. If this is it I could work under these conditions. I am not fuzzy, confused or sleepy yet. Not fucked up at all after the first 1/2 hour. BTW I took my skullcap 20 min before dosing as recommended.

Its amazing isn't it Ricky? You expect to "feel" something but you don't and then you wonder what you were so worried about.. at least I did!
I felt like the worlds biggest steamin' great jessie for having been so afraid of it and that feeling of "emptiness" with no pain.. well I was going to say what I think it's better than but best not eh?!

Hello Ricky,
I would be interested to know if you had any feelings of warmth/heat at the back of your head please.
Also next time try a good DVD.
Shiney sides best.

Good Sunday afternoon. Well I had a very good "trip". No side effects whatsoever. Just mellow like 2-3 drinks. I felt no heat on my neck or head or anything else. My sons were with me and read the info on clusterbusters. My oldest son is very smart and digested the info right away and was explaing what was happening to me as he used to smoke MJ and once took LSD. They were playing TV and videos on the computer. I was a little giddy but after awhile it was too much stimulation for me and I went to bed at midnite. Got up Saturday morning and felt great and no "hangover" effect. I took the Vit C as recommended and went for my four hour training walk. Well Shit don't you know during my walk I get a migraine level 5. I slammed a red bull and it subsided a little. I finished the walk and went home and it ramped up again for the next 12 hours  It was migraine not CH as I would lay down and it was hours. I suffer both and I KNOW the difference. I feel no episode coming at all yet as it is too early still for my CH. Well not too bore you as this is a CH board but my migraines are from hell that is all you have to know and could go on for days to weeks. I took 3 motrin another red bull, no relief. Finally slept a few hours. Woke up still with it and went back to bed at midnite again. I took an extra siebiellim my preventative which I am still allowed to take when busting and this maked me more "drunk" than busting. I woke up feeling groggy but after an hour it subsided and so far no head pain, just a slight migriane shadow.
So here is the thing. I plan to give this therapy six months hook or crook to see how if at all it affects migraine for which I am chronic and my episode of CH. Will the episode be delayed? Will it be shorter, more bearable?. Will this abort some hits>
Questions: Friday was my dose. Is the fifth day counted as Wednesday or Thursday. I will dose again.
If I get a breakthrough headache between doses can I put some of the powder under my tongue to try to abort. I know I can't dose again within five days. Should I ramp up my next dose to four seeds. I did three.

Check your PM's
Love ya

Oh and I have added Taurine to my arsenal. 500 mg three times a day. The red bull is expensive and so are those other energy drinks. Plus the caffeine in the red bull might give rebound headaches. I will use that for a headache or hit. ONe month supply of Taurine 10.00. One red bull 3.99. You do the math.

Ricky, I think you should ask Flo about mixing Taurine with your calcium channel blocker. He says you shouldn't mix taurine and verap, the same reasoning might apply to the Siebeillim. Especially since your BP is normally low. pf wishes and fingers crossed, nani
