Bloody good to find you folks.  I pretty much gave up telling people about my headaches straight away, I guess thats why women rarely tell blokes about the pain of childbirth, you'll just get met with a thousand yard stare or all of a sudden the floor and ceiling become very interesting.

I FINALLY got diagnosed by a Consultant Neurologist a month back, bloody hell doctors (GP's) are clueless eh.  Its actually good to have a diagnosis...and now I've got a forum, things are on the up and up 

Danged glad you found us! When you get a chance, let us know what kind of regimen you're on. The strength of this board is the combined experiences of hundreds of us! Maybe we can make a suggestion or two to discuss with your doc.

02......you'll hear/read this a lot on the board. If you're not already using oxygen to stop your attacks, read the "oxygen info" link on the left and PLEASE give it a try. I can stop an attack in 6-8 minutes using oxygen. MANY on the board have posted similar results. Definitely worth a try!

Welcome home!

Joe

hi, welcome from another NHS user  

I'm still trying to get oxygen out of my GP, tried the upfront approach, now trying to gently coax him into it........

waiting to hear back from my neuro......... be good to hear how you get on with trying to get oxygen.... maybe we can swap GP intimidation tips!

I believe you are suffering from a misconception. You'd need more than O2 to get high, if that's what your goal is.

Many people do it, myself included.

think I said in another post I was going to give that a go! (asking my GP mid cluster headache about the O2 - I do think its impossible for them to get an idea of what its like unless they see it - shouldnt stop them prescribing the appropriate stuff though!) - mind you he rang me this afternoon and said thanks for the info! (I gave him a headache diary and a printout from the BNF) seeing him in the morning anyway - will see what he says and does!

Deleting posts now eh, how thoroughly facist I can guarantee that it will have been a Yank.

Is that your way of apologising, is this the dawning of a new era of trans Atlantic joie de vivre.

Yep, and that Yank would be me.  Your little "tat" with Brew had no place up here.  Better the posts than your profile.  No?

Its all good, the fruitbat has taken to abusive PM's now  

deBauch,

I am forced to wonder why you are here. Your words lead me to believe that you are simply looking for a place to play.

If I am incorrect, may I respectfully suggest: Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or

However, I suspect that you will find them to be less tolerant of rude behavior than we are here. I would further suggest posting there while not under the influence would go a long way in establishing a reasonable amount of credibility for you.

Marc

So let me get this right.

I'm perfectly civil in my posting...I mention that I smoke weed...completely unsolicited somebody is bloody rude...I stick up for myself, I then get a nasty PM (which is the slyest of the sly) and now my motives are questioned, my behaviour called rude and yet more patronising crappy assumptions are made about the state that I post in.

Quite unbelievable considering that I've hardly even gotten out of my own hello thread and I'm only here to gain knowledge and support for a thingy of a condition that I've got.

What I find particularly astounding is the bitterness that I have been subjected to over a simple lifestyle choice.  What if I had mentioned that I was gay ?  I'm guessing that I would most likely have been subject to similar attacks.  Personally I'm a live and let live kind of guy and even if I did have objections to other peoples lifestyles I'd have the common decency to keep it to myself rather than be downright bitter and nasty.

All that being said I won't let you lot drive me away which seems to be the game plan but if this is the kind of welcome that you give to people that suffer from this bitch of a condition I suggest that you take a good hard look at yourselves.  Carry on deleting my posts, carry on casting nasty aspertions, I have Cluster Headaches so I've had worse things happen to me

Shaun,
   I just went back and read this thread from the beginning. It looked pretty cordial to me . We look at 02 as the holy grail for preventatives in slamming a HA back where it came from. You commented that taking a couple of bong hits and chasing it with 02 will do the trick and someone called you on it. It got nasty and DJ deleted the posts.

Your next comment was that a "yank" had deleted it and and how "facist" that was.

The thread was going downhill fast and the OWNER of the site deleted a couple of threads. Thats it.

I hope you stick around. There is a lot to learn here and share as well. We have been here for 10 years.  I think we welcome new members pretty well after all this time unless you have an agenda. In that case you WILL get slammed. I am assuming that you don't so.....

Welcome to ch.com.

  Posting private PM's from someone for everyone to see , is a VERY un-classy thing to do around here and it really says a LOT  about people who do that.
