Thanks for the nice comments. Im learning from all of you how bad the cluster headaches are. Im working on my cluster page to give better information. We are trying to help everyone with the use of magnesium. Its a wonderful mineral and I am amazed at the success that migraine sufferers have had with it. It definitely wont hurt to take it. Its great for the heart. We use it in the ER all the time for patients with cardiac problems. I just hope it has success for some of you. I know how terrible it is to suffer and no one can give you an answer or a cure. Hopefully with continued research we will get to the bottom of these headaches. Im working with a researcher and we are going to get a grant to study the use of magnesium with the different types of headaches. The key is the higher dosing. Also most people take Magnesium oxide which is poorly absorbed. Magnesium lactate, gluconate or chloride are better absorbed. Calcium should be taken with Mg so your doing the right thing. Take 2mg of calcium to every 1mg of Mg. Mg can deplete you of calcium and vice versa. Im still working on many improvements to my site so if you have good info for me feel free to share it. Patients are the best source for info since they have been through it and know. I will be sure to direct the CH patients to this site. Everyone needs support from someone who has been through what they are going through. I will be sure to address the CH issue in our search for relief for everyone.
