Hi there. I'm visiting this site for the first time and it feels quiet good to be able to read others experiences with "the beast". I'm from Holland I'm 25 years old and I want to share my thoughts and questions with you.
My CH began 8 years ago periodically, but since 2 years it turned into a chronic CH. 2-8 attacks a day, 365 days a year. The one thing that keeps me alive is CO2 and my upcomming baby. I read about the "shrooms" and I think I am going to give it a try. I've got some experience with these things from my youth so that shouldn't be a problem. The whole idea behind it kindda falls in place with my ideas/knowledge of CH. Are there any other Dutch here? I would like to share some thoughts about this subject.
I just came back from the Neurologist and he gave me Lithium for the first time. I've been taking all kinds of medications in the last 2 years but none can cure my Chronic CH. None of the treatments work long enough to break through my cyclus.
So what have I got to lose if I try the "shrooms". If I'm willing to put Lithium in my body then shrooms shouldn't be a problem at all.
I wanna say one last thing and that involves my girlfriend. I can't find the words to thank her for the patience and understanding and the way she has supported me in the last 2 years. This is in the same time a big thanks to all the others "partners" of all my fellow "cluster buddies".
Where would we be without you.....
Don't give up, /Tricky
