I have been in a cycle for 4 months now. As a preventative
I started with Prednisone + Verapamil. Prednisone did
not make a difference (good indicator that I am chronic)
but as I began to ramp up on the Verapamil I started to
to get fewer and less intense CH's (2 a day, instead of
4-5). I am now at 480mg per day, if this does not
do it the doc. is going to add Lithium to the mix
next week.
Have you tried Verapamil? I think there are several
of us who are getting relief with the combo of
Verapamil and Lithium but I don't know of anyone
who is on just Lithium...
