Title: I'm thinking about taking the mushroom route...
Post by ocnprl on May 17th, 2009 at 1:16am
I'm so tired of these damn things. I did some major research today, and besides new surgical and hypothalamus/brain stimulation, I read an article from an institute from last month that did a study with small amounts of shrooms (I forget the drug in it that helps), but the results were so overwhelmingly for the positive, they are getting govt financing for more research on it. And ironically enough, that episode of House about the clusters was on tonight, and he even decided on small amounts of mushrooms. I came across this website/forum all about shrooms and growing them, I'm gonna look into it more tomorrow. Here's the site if anyone's interested. In that article I read, they said it wasn't illegal to possess them in the u.s. except 3 states. I don't know, but like most of us, we're running out of options. Here's the site if anyone's interested:

I wouldn't take the doses to trip my balls off like I did 25 years ago, just a small recommended dose according to that journal I read. It was like 5 or 10 milligrams.

Wow,

You are braver than I , I just have thoughts of tripping and hallucinating during a KIP 8 +. Imagine what you would come up with for a visual representation. I'd probably end up in a mental institution mumbling about demons and shadows trying to get at my brain, or for attacking someone for trying to drive that white hot railroad spike in my head
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Good luck if you do, and let us know ....

Thanks Nani. I'll check them out, but if you see my other post about options I posted this morning, I've been  doing a lot of research about about mushrooms, and also about 100 years ago I did a lot of drugs including shrooms and LSD. I'd never do acid again, but the mushrooms were a lot more clean, and I'm not out to trip, I just want these damn CHs to subside some. But thanks for your concern!
I'm just really tired of the excruciating pain like everyone else (see the picture below). My clusters aren't only back, but I've had severe back problems over the last year I'm taking Morphine for (I'm going in next week to see about setting a date for surgery), but I also have carpal tunnel in my left hand and still using it a lot. Need to have surgery on that as well. So overall, I'm with pain one way or another day and night. I just try not to think about it. If there's any positives with clusters, they definitely make me forget about my back pain a few hours a day!! And that's no shit!
Have a pain free day!!!

All the best with trying this method. May it break your cycle.
I am currently busting with srooms myself, but I believe one has to be 100% med free for this to work.

I did my 3rd bust yesterday and got labeled 3 times last night, but will continue my march forward with this decision.

PF wishes.
