Anyone had any luck with Magnesium??

Hi,
I was in the book store reading different books about CH, and came upon this one:
The Magnesium Solution For Migraine Headaches: The Complete Guide To Using Magnesium To Prevent And Treat Migraines And Cluster Headaches Naturally
by Jay S. Cohen
It was a short read (did it while drinking a coffee in the store cafe') but it also sounded convincingly optimistic.
I was wondering if anyone has any luck with magnesium in treating CH
Thanks,
Mark

I have been taking a magnesium supplement with my muti-vitamins every morning for the past 2 years. I should have started my normal cluster 4 or 5 months ago but it hasn't materialized. Is it the magnesium, don't know. Is it the shrooms I used last clsuter, don't know. Is it because I'm an old fart?
Added benefit - it's makes you regular as the Christmas goose!!!!

once I started eating magnesium (350mg/day) it did help to stop few ch attacks with low kip level. I have been eating magnesium tablets ever since. I can't tell you whether my ch would be worse if I stopped eating those tablets, though.

I'm finding that taking 500 mgs is helping my migraines.
( I also like Coq10...but I don't know if that helps Clusters)

I don't have CH, I have horrible migraines. Doc says they have "cluster features." Can I still stay? Migraines suck. Can I say that?

Actually, I think it might have been helping my clusters a little, but, unfortunately, it also gave me the worst and truely most awful case of the "hershey squirts" I've ever had.
In other words, on a personal level, I highly recommend it for constipation!
That's just me, though. I think many here have found it to be really helpful.
Hugs,
Kris

Update: I started taking 750 mgs. for constipation and now I'm not getting any h/a's and going to the bathroom really well!  Knock on wood. Don' t let any evil Migraine Devils hear this! I'm thinking good thoughts on the stuff.

So, when you do go to the "bathroom" are there any wild colors swirling around in the bowl?
The reason I ask is magnesium is onee of the principal ingredients in FIREWORKS. Like the 4th of July kind! So I was curious whether you get blown off the seat and every color in the rainbow is represented in the explosion?

No explosions here but...now regular just like dawn and dusk. Actually regular with dawn...awww...tmi. 
I think it helped as well as coQ10. I still take them, out of habit I suppose, or fear of rocking the boat.
