You do realise that studies have been done on capsaicin to find if it was effective and showed no benefit? It's more likely your cycle ended by itself than that sinus buster worked.

We have suffered for years with their sales people hawking this site making outlandish claims about the efficacy of their product. There are more people here who have tried it to no avail than would concur with you I'm afraid.

It may "only" be $15 - but hawking fake claims and snake oil is very much against the ethos of this site and we strive to protect readers and members from being duped.

People in this kind of pain are very vulnerable. We will always listen readily but not in regard to this particular product because of it's offensive marketing and lack of effective beneficial relief.

If people wish to try sinus buster then I wish them luck. I would however be failing in my duty of telling both sides of the tale.

This isn't intended as anything personal against you, I hope you're pain free forever!

Regards
Helen

I'm with Helen. There has been a great deal of research into capsaicin and its pain relieving benefits. I have no doubt in a few years there will be various forms of it that will prove beneficial to many different pain types, including ours! It's current form is just annoying enough to take your mind off of the pain in your head. Smashing your toe with a ball peen hammer will have similar effects!! Wink

Hoping your remission lasts forever. Headache pain, of any type, sucks! If they do come back, I'd strongly suggest you check out the oxygen info link on the left. It's enjoying an incredible success rate on the board. It's cheap, no side effects, and can abort attacks in under 10 minutes. Certainly worth a shot!

Sending pain free wishes your way.

If anyone is checking this chain I have some updated info:
I have tried sinus buster and it's very affective (for now). I was reluctant to try, based on this post and my own feelings that it was too general to work on our exclusive pain.
Well I am glad I tried it. I actually had a bottle from my last episode in 2007. By the time I bought the spray my cycle had ended so I never had a chance to try until now.

The first beast attack was completely aborted a few days ago (I am at the beginning of a 3-4 month bi-annual cycle). It seems that more is needed to keep the beast at bay, and time may prove it inaffective. But for now it works and I have dealt with this horrible pain for 2 decades.
My advice is to try it and be thankful it's only 10 - 20 bucks-__

Sam, you'll find 98% of the people on this board are exactly that. People interested in sharing what has and hasn't worked for them, and trying to help people who are hurting. In that regard, this board is a priceless gem that saves many people a lot of pain.

There is a small percentage of people here...as anywhere else on the planet...who always seem to find a way to upset people with their posts. You can write off this board based on that 2%, or stick around for the help from the other 98%. Hope you stick around.

I'm thinkin Joe directed this at me. One of our beloved members was out to visit a while back, after all the huggin, handshakin, backslappin, and welome backs were over we went outside for a smoke. Well we had our smoke and decided to stumble around the back forty and look at the hopper damage. We hadn't gone too far and right in our path was a giant pile of Bovine shit. So now what do I do? Do I call Bullshit and save my friend or do I quibble over whether it's heifer, steer, calf or bull shit or do I keep quiet and let him find it for himself? Of course I call Bullshit and save my short buddy the hassle of cleanin shit off his boots and that's the cowboy way.

I doubt any of you have ever actually tried it.

There's enough anecdotal evidence on here over the past few years that, when I weigh it against a newbie (still one post as of this writing) who may have a financial stake in its sales, it's not much of a choice.

Have you tried it?

sam, potter may seem a little bit cynical but keep this in mind. for years we've seen people jump on the the board and 1st post ever talk about the wonders of "sinusbuster". i saw a guy on the old board go so far as to post bar graphs and charts. 1st post. one sentence said his age and how long he had been a sufferer and then 2 paragraphs about the inter workings of "sinusbuster". many of them only post 1 or 2 times. i'm not saying thats your intention but it has been with several newbees in the past.

i bought some in desperation when i was new to the board and it didn't help me at all

When I was in my 20s I used to take Sine-Off sinus pills which I thought worked at first. (That was when I thought I had sinus headaches.)
They didn't.

But if this worked or you. That's great. Just be sure the next time (hopefully never) you dont put yourself in a bad situation (like an airline flight) cause you are counting on this remedy. (Like I did once enduring 5 hours sitting still San Francisco- Hawaii with a CH all the way. )
