I ask this one for a friend with CH who has no access to the net.
I told her of the water therapy and gave some print-outs from previous posts on this site. She talked it over with her doc who told her that drinking so much water could influence her current medication (She's on Verapamil, 480 mg's a day, which helps her but still some attacks break through). Doc told her that when drinking so much water there could be a chance that the meds would leave the body faster? Could that be true? If so, should she raise the Verapamil dosage when doing the water thing?
She's affraid that the attacks could come back in full when she starts the waterthing, I personally don't think that it will have this effect. Help anybody?
Probably the answer is somewhere in previous posts already, but I can't find it.
Wishing everybody painfree days, Rob.
PS: I'm still doing great on the 480mg verapamil, no real attacks for 8 days now, just shadows! It just makes me tired and I notice that I tend to forget what I'm talking about during conversations (according to my wife thats nothing new). Also still have the black spots in my left eye, makes reading difficult. But everything is better then the pain!!
