Pete,

I am a 42 year old male with a 20 year history of episodic cluster headaches.  I have averaged one and a half cycles per year with only 2 pain free years in the last 2 decades.  My cycles typically last 8 weeks with 1-2 attacks per day at an average of about a 7 on the Kip.  I had tried O2 many years ago but did not have knowledge about the proper flow rate.  Figured that out three years ago and it is effective but, as you know, the logistics can be challenging with travel and work.

My most recent cycle began on March 28 with three attacks on that day after feeling the aura twice in the week prior.  The 29th and 30th had two attacks each and one on the 31st.  I took 10,000 I/U of D3 and Omega 3 Fish oil on the night of the 31st in addition to starting 480 mg of daily Verapamil.  Took 60,000 I/U and 2 fish oil on April 1st in addition to the Verapamil.  I have not a headache in 72 hours and feel great.  Three pain free days once the cycle has begun has NEVER happened to me before. 

Unfortunately, I did not get the blood test prior to starting because I was VERY skeptical. I will be taking 20,000 I/U daily per week for 2 weeks, 15,000 I/U daily for the following two weeks.   If I remain pain free, I will take 10,000 I/U per day for as long as I live.

Is there someway that I can keep you updated on any additional information that might be helpful as you document results for your survey?  I would be happy to get any blood tests in the future that might benefit your data accumulation.  I am in your debt sir. THANK YOU for your efforts and your sharing! 

Hey Bfbuddha, it's great to read that you're on the road to hopefully  being pain  free long term.
I think it's important to take all the elements of Batch's D3 regimen, ie: Magnesium, calcium, super K, Vit A, Fish oil, zinc and Boron as well as the D3.
Batch has helped many of us here.
All the best
