Title: Question for RC/shrooms users
Post by kingsiren on Jun 22nd, 2009 at 3:59am
Hi Guys, I posted a few weeks back about successfully busting a cycle (again) using RC seeds. i was happy as a clam and followed up with my usual maintenence and then began going through an extremely stressful experience in my personal life. Serious drama with the old lady, then out of the blue BAMMM here comes the beast.

So gross, I did not expect to see him back so soon. My cycle in the past never lasted this long so it feels like this is a new cycle. I have dosed with RC seeds twice with no relief. i managed to obtain one gram of shrooms and that did nothing. I am getting 3-10 hits a day all the way from k1-k10. I just took a very large dose of seeds tonight and i am hoping to get some much needed relief.

My question is have any of you experienced a "relapse" while maintaining with seeds? Do you think the extreme stress could be a big factor in the attacks? Should I attempt to procure more shrooms & try a larger dose?

I guess my biggest fear is that I could go from episodic to chronic but I do recall that the year they told me that sinus surgery would fix me my cycle seemed to wane & then come back after the operation, it may have lasted 8-9 weeks. I couldn't even imagine what you  poor chronic sufferers go through, i mean it just seems so unbelievably horrid to live like that. I barely make it through a typical 4 week cycle.

Obv if I get no relief from busting i will consider going back to pharms I just hope (pray) that it is just a bump in the road not a 12 car pile up. Time will tell.

Sometimes nothing works. Yes they fail sometimes but,I have had success with treatment change or combination. Using seeds for maintenance and a dose of shrooms once a week for 3 to four weeks will have a better chance of busting an episode. Your not going to bust an episode with one dose of shrooms. That's a maintenance dose at best. Try to use just 02,if you have it, take a break, try again in a week. Detox is very important.
This is just my opinion based on personal trial. I know how ya feel, if you go back on the doctors dope good luck. Any port in a storm. :)
all the best

I can't help you as far as shrooms are concerned - never used them.  However, I have been dosing with rc seeds regularly and have been pain free for just over three years.  

I maintenance dose every two months with just 12 seeds - no more.  If I get the slightest inkling (which I usually do) that the beast is trying to pay a visit, I dose with 35 seeds, then another 35 seeds five days later.  I have completely busted two cycles this way.

In the last three years, I have had four rogue hits coming out of nowhere, but easily aborted with O2 and Red Bull.  With those hits, I dosed the 35 seeds, wait five days then 35 more and they are gone.

I honestly can't say that major stress brought on those rogue hits, nor can I tell you that your hits aren't caused by the extra stress.  All I can advise is hang in there and don't give up.

Sandy
