Wow. Trackle is seeking advice and exploring options. No one needs a lecture to abandon conventional medicine or a physician who is actually trying to provide help. No system or provider is perfect (far from it) but if you find someone you can work with and is interested in helping its in everyone's best interest to have a dialogue. CHF made several good points about splinting doses and preventative mess. The oxygen info was also spot on. D3 works for many And has no real down side. I am not convinced in a non research arena labs are needed. First I would make an appeal to the insurance company about the oxygen. Insurance companies routinely reject claims as sport and part of a programmatic process . Once you start an appeal real humans start looking over the claim. If you have a medical diagnosis of clusters there is abundant medical evidence in the literature at the highest level to support high flow oxygen and injectable imitrex. You have to be persistent and it may not seem fair but its a battle that can be won. There are plenty of positive reports using MM, LSD and other non conventional modalities. I believe it is entirely within your right to safely try and use these methods. You do not need an ill informed persons permission. As a young mother be sure to do your homework, control "set and setting" the best way possible and have sitters (one for your child and one for you). Hopefully in separate locations. The discussion with your doctor is optional but if young and open minded it will not hurt. Ask if you can talk about something and not have it end up in your record. Then have a hypothetical discussion about alternative treatments. This can be important if you are on other medications or have a health history of something concerning. It would be unusual for an otherwise healthy person have a problem with a responsible dose of anything alternative. Most report low doses are effective.

Most people can get by with 2mg injections, so that means you would get three from every injector. A few seem to need 3mg, which would of course mean two aborts per injector. (Or you could ask for 3mg injectors, which some doctors are willing to prescribe, or even for a vial of sumatriptan and syringes, which some people can get). You would have to figure out the cost difference, but I'm guessing that one is paying a lot for the useless autoinject mechanism itself. Your doctor's logic for not prescribing a preventive or trying steroids seems odd to me. I'm not sure how you would get things "under control" without a preventive. For most people, the steroids only provide relief while they're taking them (if then), so they are meant as a "bridge" to give the preventive time to take effect. It's also a little hard for me to know how much his "perception of the severity of the problem" actually matters, He's gonna prescribe what he's gonna prescribe, and his sympathy is worth very little to you. People here all know what you are going through; unfortunately your child probably gets it, too, at some level; but practically nobody else will ever really understand. Here's some basic info about LSA, but you should check back with us if you decide to go that route. There is typically no "trip" at all with seeds. But of course no substance is assured to work, and you have apparently already found one that does. https://clusterbusters.org/forums/topic/684-5-lsa-seeds-of-the-vine/ You might not be aware that psychedelics don't work while you are using sumatriptans or steroids. The standard advice is that you have to be "detoxed" from them for five days before psychedelics will work. There is not 100% agreement about this, but it's what the bulk of experiences say.
