BB, I'll be glad to report back and no I havent looked at long term effects. I would hope that once my cycle is over I can put it away until the next cycle comes about. I'll check out the links you posted, thanks!
 
Didnt mean to offend anyone with my skeptic comment , but every time I visit this sight its loaded with negative comments and nasty remarks from people that obviously have nothing better to do than beat on or make fun of possible remedies that havent work for them.  
I appreciate a good sense of humor and thought  chewy's post and some of the other quack stuff was hilarious. But just because it doesnt work for you, who's to say it won't work for someone else? I figure if a suggestion for a remedy brings relief to just one person, wasn't it worth posting? I have been visiting this sight for years but usually just read the posts instead of putting myself out there to be picked apart by the veterans, but I thought somone might want to give it a try, if they heard that it may actually work. It cost me 16.00, about the cost of an injection.  No question it won't work for everyone. I've tried every legal drug known to help with CHs. Imitrex is the only drug that has ever worked, but when something like this comes along, what have I got to lose? All I know is I haven't had a hit for going on 3 days. Maybe the cycle is coming to an end, maybe the Capsaicin is having some effect, I'm not sure. If I find out that this stuff doesn't work I'll be the first one to admit I was a sucker for another snake oil..

You won't be the first of us to have been a sucker, I know I have MANY times.
 
If it DOES work for you GREAT!  But I tend to think that your cycle is ending.  But who knows?  Un like Annette (BB) I am not a doctor, just a long time sufferer (and many time snake oil sucker).
 
I did not see any mention of using oxygen.  Have you tried that?  And even if it didn't work one time, try it again.  It is well worth multiple attempts.  Also, if you did not use it the correct way for CH, it won't work.  You need to check the oxygen info link, in the left hand margin to find out about proper methodology.
 
Good luck
Chuck

Nicholsb,
 
Thank you very much for comming back and talking to us.
 
I am sorry you felt your genuine sharing of experience was picked apart and that you felt so much negativity on the Board.
 
I have only been here for a short time compared to many people, yet I have already seen several peddlings of all sorts of "cures" from Chinese herbs to metal head gears to mangosteen juice ..... One common thing always comes out of these is that the poster would get extremely excited about the treatment, praise it very very highly but without any real scientific evidence to support the finding, get upset and abusive when people voices their doubt or asks more specific questions, yet none of them has ever come back with a long term follow up of whatever the cure was, not one!
 
After a while, one does become rather tired of such advertisings and gets a bit more sarcastic in response.
 
I sincerely hope that your cycle has come to an end and that you wont ever have to use the spray again. However, if you do, please come back and let us know how it goes, especially after using it for a little while.
 
All the best and painfree wishes to you.
 
 
Annette

Most of the time with good reason.  I suppose if you've been reading this site for a long time you must have skipped over all the positive, helpful, caring reponses then.   Undecided

I've used capsaicin before and found it to help ONCE IN A WHILE... (it helped alleviate the pain of 3 out of 100 CH attacks in one episode.  WOOHOO!!!!!  I even carried a Jalapeno in my pocket for a while.... okay let the jokes start..   Grin    Wink   Perhaps some researchers will continue looking into it.  I've also used Imitrex and several others and Psilocybin is, IMHO, the most effective preventative with the fewest harmful side effects.   Okay, so some people can't do it.... MANY can and are.....
good luck to all

I listen to Howard and Bubba every day and have heard those commercials. I have not heard them mention CH in quite a while, I think that says it all. I don't think it works for CH and I think they now know that.

Hehehe, this was a great post. Thank you all wise and knowledgeable.
 
I am here to testify, the penis enlargers have not worked. The poor thing just keeps shriveling and shriveling as I get older  and older laugh
 
It is a blessing to be PF tonight. I really think the Indomethacin is helping. It appears to be anyways. Hard to tell when I am on the downhill of a cycle.

Sorry did not reply Jeff. Did not see this until now while doing a search for oxygen. I quit taking the Indomethacin on Thursday for two reasons. 1: I think I am out of cycle. 2: my stomach was having weird spasms/pain. Was born with a bad stomach and thought the Indomethacin (Indocin) may not be good for me. I honestly think it may have helped. After taking it for two days, I got some strange hits. The shadows were lighter than usual, kinda like something was suppressing them. Of course I am stumped. Could have been because I was on the downslope of the cycle or could have been the meds? I have not had anything other than some slight shadows since Wednesday. I would say those with a good stomach perhaps may want to try it. It is medically suggested for those with chronic CH.
