I started getting these HAs in undergrad, when I was dating a really sweet hippy girl who loved the herbal alternative treatments... Hippy girlfriend: "Do you see this one kind of plant that's growing over here in the field?" (cowslip) "Just rub some on your temples when you start to get a headache." Verdict: Headaches 1, Hippy girlfriend 0.

i do like the hippy alternative, i was given one of those migraine releif forehead patches and was told by a friend thatll do the trick. Not to dissapoint that evening i tried it on my forhead as i was starting to have an attack first 5 mins were fine cool soothing then by the 7th minute it caused an irritation with my skin and started to burn, Great i thought the burning irritation took my mind off the headache for maybe 10 mins before i was back beating it my own way!!

| Yeah, go with colloidal silver! It won't help the CH, but it can make you turn blue. Then you could be "Clusterhead Smurf." I always thought the smurfs needed one more girl (I imagine smurfette is scared shitless when they all start drinking).

The stupidest suggestion I was given, after clicking an ad that said "Cluster Cure," was Sinus Busters nasal spray. I got so excited after reading their site that I called every health food store to find one that carried it, rushed out and bought it, and ran to my car in the parking lot since I was having an attack. I snorted half the bottle, then ended up coughing that shit out of my car door in the middle of the mall parking lot until I threw up. Other than confusing a few passersby, and eyes watering for 30 minutes, it had no effect. Sorry in advance for the one person out there who might get some help from that worthless quack product.

| Carrots??! Oh my oh my... If carrots would be accurate "cure" for ch, I would have never got it; I've had LOTS of them over the years - my friends actually joke that eating carrots is the *real* reason why my hair is red... Sanna

I just finished a kip 8-9 about 25 minutes ago. Toward the tail end, my wife broke my rule and came outside. I was still wimpering, and gave her the look that says "I don't need spectators." She said, "do you want a blow-job?" I meant to just say "no" nicely, because it was a nice sentiment, but it still came out as a scream. Oh well, she knows better than to open the door when I'm out there. God, I sure wish she gave rain checks.

Incidentally, don't try one of these: I did...on the recommendation of a friend. It may have been intended to create a soothing warmth, but it made me feel like this: Cold good, heat bad. Live and learn. Best, George

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
