Hallo everybody,
It has been a while ago that I reported about my CH. As you know I am (was) a chronic cluster headache patient. I started the mushroom treatment on 29th of may this year. In the beginning it reduced the number of attacks quiet a lot for a period of one week (8-10 days) and now it is gone for more than two weeks for the second time. It is not that the CH attacks are completely gone, but when I have an attack it is mostly because of sitting in the sun, or drinking beer or wine. I also found out that a warm room (hot) is bad and gives shadows or a start up for an attack. So I try to go outside make my face wet and sit a while in the wind. At home I put, for a little while, some ice cubes to my pain side face. It helps most of the time. The attacks are mostly minor ones. (Kipscale 4) When I have two of those per day or one big one, I make immediately the mushroom tea and have a ‘funny’ day.
Now I am on a dose of once a shroom session per month. The dose for me is that I go most of the time to level 2.
I think the mushroom treatment is in deed the best medicine for me. Thanks a lot to the guys who found this out.
Bye and take care
