Been about a year an 6 months since the last cycle, great remission due to repeated doses of psilocybin and LSD.  It should be noted I was currently taking imitrex injections upwards of 24 mgs/day (overdose).

This recent cycle started very strange.  I had some shadows during spring and summer which were taken care of with advil antihistamines.  I thought I had solved it for good.  Wrong. 

Around mid-October a string of shadows appeared again that were made worse by the same antihistamines.  I began taking imitrex injections again, reaching 4 headaches/day aka 24 mg/day (not good).

I aquired some LSD.  2 hits.  It took several weeks to get ahold of this shit.  Anyway, for the first time in several weeks I was headache free for about 12 hours.  Then I got an attack during the trip.   Talk about discouraging.   I re-reviewed the government study on the treatment and noted that they administered 3 doses over 15 days.  Several days later I attempted another 4 hits.   The headache-free period lasted even longer, then another hit.  I was devasted.

However.

Since then, they have scaled back dramatically from 4 a day to 1 every day or every 2 days.  I have also gotten my oxygen tank back, but IT'S NOT WORKING ON IT'S OWN.  Extremely discouraging.

Ray of hope:  Sudanfed.  The absolute basic Sudafed with no acemitophen, no 12 or 24 hour relief, just the basic smallest dose sudafed.  I started taking 4 pills to be safe.  I have begun taking the recommended dose of 2 and it's just as effective.   This in conjuction with the oxygen is effective.  And lately, this in conjunction without oxygen is effective.

Miscellaneous:

Vitamin D3 ineffective.
Topirimate  (newly prescribed) ineffective.


Further information on the LSD:  I ran into a post by a fellow CH suffer mentioning a correlation between what LSD does in the brain being similar to what imitrex does in the brain.   Therefore, LSD treatment and remission will be INEFFECTIVE unless weened off of imitrex.  I intend on trying LSD for the 3rd and final time next week to finally lay this to rest for the nextime 6 months to 18 months (fingers crossed).

Cliffnotes:

-LSD and Psilocybin have effectively put my headaches into remission about 4 times for periods of 6 months to 18 months. These last 2 times (May 2014 and October 2015 were problematic).  Possible cause being interference due to imitrex usage.

-Sudafed is effective in about 15 minutes.

Some other things I will look into:  I have spent some time in Afghanistan and Iraq in these past few years where I stockpiled boatloads of imitrex anticipating an impending attack cycle.   It never came.   I will look more into interviewing individual CH sufferers, their physical location in the world.  Possible contributors to CH being Hay Fever?? Or other allergies.   


I hope anything I put out here helps you guys.   Stay strong and remember that you ARE strong.

Thanks batch, are you prior service yourself?  And no, I've been out almost 2 years.   Did some volunteer work with the Kurds this past summer though.

Last month I got myself on 10,000iu of D3.  Maybe  I didn't give it enough time but I didnt see any improvements until the LSD. 

As far as the oxygen, it has worked in the past, but this cycle I believe the congestion in the right nostril is inhibiting the effectiveness.  I say this because I find very slight relief forcing air through the congestion when having an attack.

Did you wait 5 days between doing imitrex and doing lsd
If not this is probably the reason its not working
