My wife is a Cluster headache sufferer and I post this at 3:20 am in hopes that if I research
enough I will find some relief for her. We were regulars here years back and many times have thought of all of you in our prayers. Denise is in a cycle now and this is week 5 and today she got hit hard!!!!! We had been using imatrex injections but had a bad experience last time due to her heart and worried about the use. We tried maxalt today and it was a waste of time. She was at a 10 for 2 hours and dam near pulled a bald spot out of her head. This thing really rules our lives when it rears its demon head!!!!!!!!!! I have ordered some rc seeds online and was hoping to hear some success stories. Denise is going through hell right now and I have been a witness to this for 25 years. I love her more than anything and just wish I could stop these things. This cycle has been all daytime attacks thats the only positive. Last time everytime she would sleep it would wake her and the battle was on. Well I hope everyone reading this is pain free!! Shut eye time , Tomorrow Im going to see if I can find some hawian seeds locally until the rc seeds show. I hope she gets some relief soon. Today was the worst so far!!!

Take care Bryan

Hello Bryan...I'm so very sorry that Denise  (and you) are going through this horrible nightmare. Has Denise tried Oxygen as an abortive? For so many of us 100% medical grade Oxygen administered at 15 LPM with a non-rebreather mask is a first line of defense in aborting Cluster Headaches.

Is it possible for you Denise to see a neurologist to get a prescription for O2?

Please stick around and know that both you and Denise will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm sure more members will follow shortly to give you more sound advice.

with warm regards,
Tony

Hi Bryan and Denise,

Welcome back!  I 2nd the suggestion of O2.  The stuff works wonders for me.  Go up on Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or and read up on it.  When used properly, with the right equipment it's a real beast killer.

O2 + energy drinks == hours of relief for me. 

Thank you for taking such good care of my cluster sister.  You supporters are amazing people.  We'd be lost without you.

Did you try printing out the research listed on OUCH-US and bringing it to your Dr?  If he doesn't see the light then it's probably time to find another Dr.

You're doing great Bryan.  Keep at it.

This site was god sent for sure!
I have spent many many hours reading everything on the net on new treatments. Denise had an attack yesterday that was 5 or 6 and tried the red bull for the first time and couldnt believe it aborted a full out 10 that she usually gets. She went down to a 2-3 with shadows all day but nothing like previous attacks. I will be trying the o2 as soon as I can get all the pieces together. I still am curious about the claim of aborting a full cycle with seeds or mushrooms. I would rather try the mushrooms but have lost all my younger wilder days connections . I feel muchrooms to be a safe venture as I used recreationally in my youth. I live in calif and you cant have spores shipped to calif. I think its real crap that a drug that has so much hope for the desperate is illegal. You can go buy all the alcohol you want and basically kill yourself and the government thinks that is fine. I have seeds on the way but really would prefer the mushrooms. Thanks to all of you that have shared your experiences and treatments for us all to learn by. Take care to you all and you are in our prayers always!!!!!!!!!

Bryan
