Blake, if you're reading this, and you truly do suffer from CH, continue to read this board. You will not find a more comprehensive repository of information on the treatments for CH ANYWHERE. If you're like many of us, they start fairly mild in the teen years, by the early 20's you'll understand what a KIP10 is. It's seriously bad stuff. That's when the information contained in these boards can literally save your life.

Praying you find some peace in your life.

I have a feeling he will come back, and will do my part to help him in any way I can, but not with that attitude he came on here with, admitting he was stoned, and rubs his head to cure CH's!! I don't buy it, but that is just my Smiley

Blake is 17 years old.

At 17, I knew everything and my parents knew nothing. How about the rest of you?

Yeah, he is self-diagnosed, and what he has learned about CH has been what he's read here and on other websites.

And, yeah, he's stoned. He's also only 17.

When he's in his 30's, 40's 50's, and still suffers from CH let this place be the place he comes back to for help.

Let's thank him for relating his experience and his "cure", politely tell him why we don't think his methods are a true cure, but keep the door open to him so he can come back and ask questions when he learns that his cure isn't a cure.

We are adults. He is 17. We should be better than this.

Yes Sandy I agree. I was 17 once and knew way more than I know now at 51 LMAO Grin

but I also played with some recreational srooms back then also. I remember I had some bad headaches back then but nothing like what they are now.
I still believe I might have altered or killed the cycles doing srooms, don't know, but this is something I truly believe might have happened to me, so maybe the same is happening with Blake? Undecided

With having a teenager currently in the house, I can honestly say that sometimes the gentle approach doesn't work well and you have to "take away his keys", so to speak.

Blake's keys were taken away and now he suffers the logical consequences.

With a hubby who has suffered this dreaded affliction for over 20 years and being his advocate every step of the way, I feel compassion and will help anyone I can in any way I can. However while this kid is 17, or at least claims to be..who knows it's the internet, he lost any credibility when saying he was stoned and likes to "trip" all while throwing insults and threats to us while claiming a cure. I sat back and watched the board and giggled along with everyone else. I didn't post until he crossed the line in my book...which was to start asking for a donation. At that point he was free game in my book whether he's 17 or 70. Anyone who wants to take advantage, especially financially, of those that are vulnerable are just asking for it and deserve any wrath or ridicule they have set themselves up for.

Those that are ill seeking a "cure" whether it's cancer or CH, and especially senior citizens are an extremely vulnerable population. And if I were a betting person, I'd guess he doesn't even have CH but is just a lurker/scammer on the internet trying to make a buck for his next fix. In his own admission, he's obviously been in trouble with the law before and it appears given a second chance. Instead of taking advantage of the second chance and bettering himself by getting a job or furthering his education, he chooses to take the wrong path. That's his choice, but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit back and watch him try to take advantage, scare, or threatened any member of this family without giving my two cents to his needed departure. jmo

No, he needs to be shown how adults behave. For the most part, this thread has done this.

He's 95% of the way to adulthood. He should be making the right decisions about 95% of the time.

He's batting zero in my book.

OK, I'll take back what I said. I just hate to see anyone, no matter how old or young, smart or stupid have the doors to this site closed to them.

I'm also sure that he is high on drugs. If he really is only 17, someday he might grow up to find out that he really does have CH. I would hope that should this happen, he will remember this site as being one where he got truthful answers from fellow sufferers and come back here for help.

I stand corrected.

Just so we're clear, Blake's profile was removed for a specific reason--and the reason was his post in the link above.

Saying something like this in a thread where people are only trying to help their child is unacceptable in my book--and my fellow mods agreed.

Sure he's seventeen. But seventeen-year-old's are accountable for their actions, and actions have consequences.

None of us bears this young man any animus. I think I may speak for all of us by saying that he's welcome to return as far as we're concerned--provided that DJ agrees. And DJ is the one he'll have to talk to.

Best,

George

Ah poor Blake even though he is a little(lot) misguided(this is old news and does not work,maybe in his zone) and suggesting things that are not for everyone to try.... out of desperation..And although he sounds like the poster child for not doing drugs..He and your reactions supplied me with Numerous chuckles and a couple of hard out loud laughs that i very much needed.
We need more laughter so thanks to Blake...and you all for the giggles!!

I think the world was lucky in one sense that there are only two headache forums. Mushroom's original post, later heavily edited but preserved in others' quotes, set my teeth on edge. I doubt I have actually read all of it yet. Sorry, but I found nothing in it at all funny. The kid was placed in the "care" of his grandparents - says not too much for his parents.

You folks have been great. I need to learn from your patience with this kid.

Best PF from Bob.
