I've never tried the candy. Maybe it would taste better as a candy.. I'll have to give it a try.

I get a ginger candy in a little tin that travels with me everywhere!!

I don't know the details. He said he is super sensitive to barometric pressure, I kind of thought it might be something like that in his case. I think his own tricks are at least partially because he has not had any contact with other clusterheads up until just very recently. He has had no idea what should or should not be tried.

Delete internally. This isn’t of use. My mistake.

I could not find the whole paper in english to find out what the presumable trigger area in the study was. But I thought this is more or less forgotten when SPG blocks became more usual, or this has been a pathway to some modern treatments. Most people reporting structural abnormalities in our group seem to be the ones who have SPG implants. And they are working for them.

I looked at the one on NIH. It was done in 1996 and mentions the septum touching another area in the face. I had my deviated septum repaired about 25 years ago with no help at all. It was not touching any other area that I am aware of, but did have a 90* bend in it. It is interesting Tony, but I imagine if it really held promise, more work would have been done in that area since 1996.

Recently I had a conversation with a fellow clusterhead who is not always considered a "pure" clusterhead by professionals since his CH began after whiplash neck injury. Oxygen works magnificiently well with him. He said he has used diving as a preventative (with gear not very deep I assume) and currently has a swimming pool at work and is using diving in that every morning. He's bit of an odd bird, also uses snuff (tobacco you put under your lip) to prevent his CH.

@CHfather, I can only think of a couple Swiss members in the Facebook groups....one is actually a doc based in Zurich and I'm not sure where the other guy lives....but to your actual question, from what I've observed, there might be a bit more of an international membership thaN what we have on this forum but it's not a significant difference IMO.

Some can do an afternoon nap??!! Wow that's practically an unfathomable concept to me (when in cycle). And while beer at least may the closest thing to a universal trigger (I unwittingly experienced its power once - never again), some find that a drink like vodka doesn't trigger them. I personally have no intention of 'trying it out' to find out, I'm just not that kind of risk taker - I guess since CH isn't just f**king around here, neither am I.

Yes its on phase 2 . It is taking place in Basel Switzerland and it is for CH. Found out about it to late to get on it , as far as i know a US pharmaceutical company is involved in the trial

@Fcharp When in cycle diving is a definite no for me. I've tried it twice and never again. The descent is fine on air or EAN36. As soon as I break the surface I get hit with a k10 and scrambling to get back on the boat and the onboard 100% O2 ASAP. Do you do a deco stop with a high O2 for Nitrogen washout? or 21% all the way down and back up? J

I've gone the online shopping route too, for every single thing, even groceries, not that I'm imagining having groceries delivered is feasible for everyone.
