The past few months have been pretty tough.  On The Kip's Scale I'd say typical days are a #4 all day long with brief spikes to #6.  My cluster ( which was recently re-diagnosed at Stanford) is typically this chronic, relatively low-level pain condition that occassionally spikes to the #10 level but thank God that's not often.

This morning I decided I couldn't go another day with this, I took a remeron and 5 Hawaiian baby woodrose seeds.  I chewed the seeds and held them in my mouth for a few minutes, mushing them around, then spit them out after reading about 5 being a somewhat high dose.

90 minutes later my pain was all gone.  I don't know if it was the remeron or the seeds, but I'm writing eight hours later and I'm still in good shape.
