Can we keep the cycle at bay?

Fortunately for whatever reason I haven’t had an attack since 2023 in which I started drinking espresso like a madman since for fear of dealing with them again but seems like they’re trying to start up again. Getting the ole shadows and sudden overwhelming lethargy where I need to sleep… and had to reach for the oxygen the other day.

Do people get small cycles of shadows and never go back into full blown cycles and attacks?

Are shadows the precursor to full blown attack cycles, and usually within what time frame?

Does a D3 regiment and Caffeine assist in keeping the cycles from occurring?

I never took verapmil, emgality or my nasal zomiltriptan because I always have adverse reactions to medications and didn’t want to deal with that, too. So it’s always been espressos, redbull, ice and oxygen when accessible.

Any other tips I’m all ears, we’re all we got!

Thanks!
