So, as of today, I have been pf and ha free since 10pm last Thursday. Once again, I state that I am fully aware that the prednisone might be giving me false hope. But there are other things that have changed as well. We changed my bp meds because dyaside was making the ha's worse. And I have now have now been back on the D3 regimen for about 3 and a half weeks. The last time I used this regimen, my cycle was cut short from 3-4 months to about 6 week, I'm at @5 weeks now and keeping my fingers crossed that the same happens this time. Maybe the steroids have given me the break from hits that I needed to let all the others things to begin to work.

I think this is one of the maddening elements of episodic chs. You never really know if something worked or if the cycle has ended. Still, you are pf so congratulations. I do agree with Bob that determining which med is working requires a more controlled study, but when something is working, it is cause for rejoicing. Blessings. lance

Prednisone is generally a 50/50 deal for me. I generally need to go through 2 tapers to break a cycle, though sometimes one is all I have needed. I would also agree with Bob about drawing conclusions from your situation. And even if something did work this time, who's to say it will the next? But I guess that's just part of the game...
