Title: Update on Greg and the shrooms... Post by Monique on Mar 19th, 2002, 11:44pm Greg has been shadowing heavy lately. This cycle, if you can call it that, has been very strange. Anyway we had an extremely stressful day today and it culminated with him opting for bed at about 8:00pm. Within two hours he was up in the midst of a 8-9 CH. We have just picked our first shrooms from our own crop and they were in the drying chamber. I am not sure of the reasoning behind his decision but he refused to dose cuz they were not completely dry. I suppose cuz that is the only way that he has ever tried them. Anyway, after about ten minutes and the CH increasing to 10, on the verge of the puking setting in, I got really pissed and began ranting (not my usual method of dealing with him in this or any state :() About how much work I have put in to growing our own just for this... yada yada... anyway, broke off a piece of one of the caps and told him (in a very nasty way) to stick it under his tongue. Which he promptly did. Amazing how well they listen when they are used to meek and mild and yah break that mold! ;) Within less than five minutes (sorry still fuming at that point so I forgot to time it exactly) the CH was over and done with. No shadow even. He was smiling and apologizing to me.... goofy guy got it all backwards, it was my turn to apologize! :-/ Anyway, only a very slight buzz from it and off to bed again. It's almost 1:00am and he has been sleeping soundly ever since. ;D We did try this method before in the midst of a bad Cluster. It worked then too. He is going to drink some tea tomorrow morning. I have about two doses drying and I have about twenty shrooms ready to pick likely tomorrow as well. Again thanks to Pinky (my guru!) for his help and guidance. You are an amazing teacher oh Great Pink One! *arms out stretched, bowing solemnly* The last time he tried this method was with a dried piece of a liberty cap. This time it was from the fresh shrooms either Tropical Coast or B+, not sure which since I mixed them up when I birthed the cakes in the terrarium. Pinky might know if I send him a pic if it makes any difference to anyone. |

Title: Atta-Girl Post by notseinfeld on Mar 20th, 2002, 12:38am Attagirl again! Though I think the reason he took them wasnt' due to the break from the 'meek' mold but more because when you're having a CH, you'll do pretty much anything. With the pain so great bordering on ridiculous, the crazier the suggestion the more quickly it'll be tried. Anyhoo, good for you and great growing! Please keep us posted with how the rest of the treatment goes. nots |

Title: Re: Update on Greg and the shrooms... Post by tommyD on Mar 20th, 2002, 6:09am Monique - Congratulations on Greg's success! But better have him wait a few more days before he takes the tea. Remember the shrooms "close the door" on themselves and if a second dose is taken too soon after the first it won't do any good. It takes four or five days for the receptor sites to clear (?? don't really know what I'm talking about) so the shrooms can work their magic. Also remember he might have some shadows and mild breakthrough attacks for a while, but those should fade over a week or two. If the beast doesn't seem to be weakening fast enough, say by next week, then a second dose is called for. Flash and Pink, of course, will know the details. |

Title: Re: Update on Greg and the shrooms... Post by Monique on Mar 20th, 2002, 10:09am Guess I should put in a bit more for those that don't know. This is not Greg's first attempt with the shrooms. He has used them before and been in remission for two years. We couldn't get any when he needed to dose again, and when we did he kept insisting on sending them off to others that needed them more. Hence the idea behind growing our own. They have been very sucessful for him and he swears by them. Absolutely refuses to do any other meds now that the shrooms have worked. Mikey (Margi's Mike) gave him an imetrex inhaler when he was out here. Greg has kept that close by but he is really scared of it since he suffered a heart attack after taking the injections. Acturally the last few years before the shroom treatment Greg went through every cycle without any meds at all. He just didn't trust them anymore since the heart attack. TommyD, your right. It didn't even occur to me. I know about waiting the five days since we have gone through this all but the little piece didn't occur to me to count that. I have written to Pinky now and asked him. Thanks for pointing that out. |

Title: Re: Update on Greg and the shrooms... Post by Monique on Mar 24th, 2002, 12:39am Latest news... Greg continued to use the little pieces under his tongue when he he got hit, which was twice a day since the 20th. This aborted each attack within five minutes. Not wanting to wait any longer he dosed this morning with a cup'o'tea. I had just picked a good crop and he did a substantial dose. Reached a good level to the point of mild hallucinations and the furninture breathing. He also carried on a rather extensive conversation with the squirell in the feeder about the "rules" of feeding from the "BIRD" feeder. This was extrememly entertaining for the entire family. Anyway. He was flying for a few hours then went to bed about 1:00 pm and slept until 5:00 pm. Woke with what he thought was a CH coming on and he paced in fear for about ten minutes till he just walked off to bed again leaving the rest of us with our mouths open wondering what happened. (might have been sleep walking??? *shrug*) He has been sleeping ever since it is almost 2:00am. Much sleep to catch up on! :) Anyway, the Tea seems to have done it's duty once again! fingers crossed that we succeeded in breaking this cycle too. Sure hope so, I sure could use the sleep too ;) |
