Welcome Ace! Glad that you found us and quickly. No answers on Kratom for you. What did your nuero prescribe for you? I strongly suggest that you read up on and try the D3 Regimen. It can work wonders and it is OTC vitamins. Do you have O2? Are you taking a preventative? How did you get diagnosed? Have you had a MRI of your brain yet? Some background info would be a big help!

I would go find a good headache specialist to confirm you have cluster headaches. Clusters do not normally linger for days at a time, they come on in a instant and it is the same time of day every day. They can last a few months or Chronic (all year round). they go from zero to full blast in 5 to 10 minutes if untreated. Oxygen is used to abort the cluster and is taken at a high flow rate with a non rebreather mask to eliminate all outside air. 25lps regulator and the cluster mask are key to getting the oxygen to work. 5hr or other energy drinks are used to help slow down the attack so you can get to your oxygen tank and can some times abort the clusters. The D3 regimen is a few over the counter vitamins to get your vitamin d levels up into a normal range. Search around the site for a day or so and read up an as much as you can and ask questions as needed. This place is full of people willing to help you out.

I do however totally understand wanting the pain to stop and taking drastic measures! No judgment.

Medically coke IS bad it increases the hearts need for oxygen and decreases supply! You do the math.

e3r I have not changed any diet for verap. I eat like crap most of the time and smoke a pack of cigars a day. I can not drink beer anymore because that is a trigger but I can sometimes pull off a whiskey drinking day. Interesting enough, when I tie a load on with Whiskey I tend to get 3 days pain free after that.

I have not had this procedure but did have the trigiminal nerve cut down at the Mayo Clinic back in 1982. I was part of this study; https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12707445 There was 17 in the study. Lots of problems, they don't do it any longer. Stick with mm. I'm not sorry I had it done , it saved my life . Would not advise anyone have surgery . A true believer in busting.

These are the first published results that I have seen from the big questionnaire-based study that Larry Schor and others carried out, which many people here contributed to. Nothing particularly shocking to us, but very important that it's out in the medical community. Thank you, Larry and others!!!! https://www.docguide.com/effectiveness-oxygen-and-other-acute-treatments-cluster-headache-results-cluster-headache-questionna?tsid=5
