Why is it that sinusbusters only works for people with under 10 posts? I think someone should study that little phenomenon . . . .

I have less than 10 posts and it did NOT work for me. I think I will actually throw my bottle away. It didnt seem to make my headache any worse but it certainly didnt help.

So, um yeah. During my last cycle, which was a little over 2 years ago, my son was about to be born so I was at that point where I wanted to try anything and everything to get the beast to stop or go away. My mother got me a bottle of this stuff. I tried it and burned like hell(which I probably would have learned to deal with, had it worked). "...had it worked" Gave me bad bloody nose and mad the beast very angry. Cry

Just so all are aware of it, the ad at the top of the page is put there by Google, NOT DJ. He has no control over who advertises there, and the scumbuckets advertising that rip-off take advantage of it and of newbies who are desperate for anything that will help, especially if it is "only" $15. Personally I would like to apply the product to a portion of the seller's anatomy where it will do the MOST good! Maybe he can cure his hemorhoids with it.

Thanks for those who posted supportive replies to this chain.
I quit responding last year because I felt like I was being attacked and accused for offering a tip. The posts were getting stupid and it felt like arguing with 5 year-old (pointless).

These headaches have been destroying my life for 13 years and I've tried just about every med combo out there.
I will continue to offer info on what i have found to work and try to ignore the ignorance.
I will say - The beast does have a way of bringing the worst outta us.

For those interested - -
Update on pepper spray:

I found a recipe online and I made my own batch
Cayenne Pepper - 1.29
Distilled water - .59
unbleached coffee filters - .99

Basically, you boil the distilled water & cayenne pepper and filter the mix. Add to any intranasal spray container. Store in the fridge.
The batch I made was far superior to the Sinus Buster product. (I also made a 1/2 gallon for under 3 bucks).

I will never go without it again during my 4 month bouts with CH. Sometimes they knock out the beast and other times it's more of a coping mechanism.
But one thing is clear; While the pain is not completely gone, I can leave the house with a bottle of homeade spray and no other meds. This is the first time in my life I can say that.
I have had many 3 AM sessions on the kitchen floor, sobbing like a baby, lying on top of a busted vile of imitrex becuase the pain was too severe to steady my hand and give myself a shot(manual dosing of imitrex).

So go ahead and make fun - have a blast.
Anyone else who may try this - please let me know if it helps. Try to have a open-mind.

Shadows are coming more often each day so i know I am close to my quarterly hell.

After reading the replies, for some reason yours doesn't seem to be a response reciprocating an example of an open-mind you've desired from others with this appeal.

Quote:

Try to have a open-mind.

I've noticed an open-minded atmosphere here that has an array of suggested helpfulness sufficient for the vast majority who have Cluster Headaches. We're here if need be in any event.
In fact I've felt one coming at work and downed a double shot of espresso that seemed to disintegrate the inevitable oncoming breaking through the verapamil, although verbally LIT UP for the next couple hours, but I would never depend on it alone. Yeah sparked up, I'm then annoying to those around me, co-workers have their remarks and ribbing, not pointless, not stupid, not ignorant. The drinks less caffinated with taurine, also suggested here, don't go with verap, but they work, based on the many noticeably agreeable responses in those threads. It took an open mind to catch on and discover energy drinks work.

Tried and true is the big clue, but that doesn't seem to flow through this thread. Be happy you have what works for your pain instead of an opinion remarked to be ignorance.

I do hope you stick around - someone who has such a history of CH does have a lot to offer other sufferers. You have no need to justify what works for you and what doesn't. Just thank heaven that something does...

Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear... 'The Terminator' AKA CH

Mr Wold did have somewhat of the same problem a few years ago, but he also had more than ten posts behind him when he started discussing the values of shrooms. He also had some data to back up what he was saying.

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-__

Might as well poke a twenty up yer butt. You'll get the same effect cept ya get yer money back no questions asked.

You Go Potter...

if you tried it and it works.. than you better rethink what you're treating.. probably a Sinus Headache...

SO here's an update (would hate to leave it at the conspiratorial 10 posts-):
The pepper spray has only helped to eleviate the symptoms during an attack. I have found that overtime, the spray greatly diminishes in its effectiveness.
Last night I had 5 attacks and the spray helped but by no means stopped the pain.
So go ahead and bash me more and tell me you told me so. Then maybe you can flush yourself down the toilet!
