Sorry Redd I honestly do not understand this post at all! Do you mean me and the under the skin thing and if so why? I'm male by the way-it's indicated by the blue symbol thingy under my name. |

I was speaking about the coward who authored this thread dear. IT was refering to the fact there is no age, sex or email on IT's profile. Same MO....hit and run...and get mad when we balk at the idiocy. LOL

Boy, are you right. I'm going. Clearly, there is something going on here that I do not understand. I don't want to join your club -- I thought I was sharing potentially worthwhile information.

I'm male. 54 years old. I don't want to get email -- that's why I used the message board. Where does this hostility come from? What is wrong with you?

First of all sorry Redd got a bit confused-it's very late this side of the Atlantic.
Bstearns I did try to point out nicely that this issue would probably make people angry but you just carried on anyway.

It comes from people like you who try to push quackery down the throats of people who would love nothing more than to never have to pop another pill, stick themselves with another needle, or rely on having a huge tank of O2 by the bed and pray it's never empty when needed. Don't you think if the answer was this simple that every Neuro would know about it? We as sufferers aren't in such large numbers that we are keeping the phamecutical companies in business, so thats not even an excuse. Whats wrong with me? I have a dysfuctional hypothalamus you dolt! Now as Eddie said....
POOF!!!!

I've been living that way for thirty-five years, Needles, O2 bottles in the office, at home, in the car, thousands of pills. I know. You don't have a monopoly on suffering and neither do I. I understand also this sounds like quackery, but it is not. To my utter amazement, it worked. Sue me.

Yeah, the search engine for this site rarely works for me - it usually times out, or returns zero results even when I know exactly what I am looking for. One 'gotcha' of the search engine is that the default setting is to look only for the last week. But even if that is set for a suitably large number of days, it is prone to lock up.
Put this into Google site:www.clusterheadaches.com (cayenne OR capsicum OR "sinus buster") and you will get a better look into the filing cabinet - 84 posts listed (I think there are more). Adding pepper as an OR word brings it close to 200.

If you can't spell "capsaicin" maybe "snake oil" would be a better term...

Thanks for the help with the search: I read a lot of related posts. Wow. Did I apparently walk into a hornet's nest. I had no idea how controversial this topic has been. No idea. I guess some people find that it works, most do not, and many feel that people who claim it works are just out to promote a product.
So far, only two weeks into a cycle, the spray seems to abort a headache. I don't know if it will continue to work. I doubt I'll be the lucky.
One things for sure, I didn't raise the topic to upset CH suffers or mislead anyone.
After 35 years of CH, I would try almost anything...and basically have. The only dependable approach in the past has been O2.

Awwwww and here I thought I had made a new friend! As Jonny said I was just looking out for the family. These folks kept me sane when all unholy hell broke loose in my head this spring, and I found my way here.
Sorry for commin down hard on ya. But we've had quacks with MD's come in here wanting to cut us up in the name of a cure.

I understand, now. No hard feelings. I'm no MD -- just a long time suffer. I really do wish there was more awareness among docs about CH and a more organized research effort. But like you said, there aren't enough of us to make a drug company rich, so not much money for research. We'll just get the droppings from migraine research -- and it ain't the same!

Well you guys were right. So much for optimism. The capsicum spray seemed to have a positive effect for the first two weeks, but the monster just laughs at it now. You get above a K4, and you might as well spray it on a burrito. Sorry if I was over- encouraging and any of you wasted $8. Hey, I meant well. Damn! Back to O2 and another month of hell.
