Thanks for the pictures. The conference was enlighting and it was an honor to meet you all. Greetings from Youri and Ann from Belgium.

Last night on UK news I saw Crispin blunt Conservative MP for reigate advocating the legalisation of psychedelic substances to treat depression and PTSD . This man has been fighting for a few years know for this , and he is getting somewhere . I intend to e-mail him today to see if he would like to discuss cluster headaches and psychedelics . I feel the more ammo he has to fight the cause to legalise psychedelic therapy, the bigger the chance it could actually happen in the UK .

I felt strongly compelled to share my experience. My situation might be quite different then yours, this is not advice, just sharing. I am 58 at the moment, I started getting severe headaches over my left eye in my early 20's. It changed my life completely, I dropped out of college and had nothing but pain to look forward to, day-in and day-out. I later found out that what I believe I had was called, "Cluster Headaches," also referred to as Suicide Headaches." I went to several Neurosurgions, ENT specialist, Chiropracters, etc.. For me, it ended up being meditation and prayer that worked. I had listened to a tape about meditation and I felt, well I tried everything else. I found through meditation and controlling my breathing, I could direct my blood flow, I started this process with focusing on my fingers first, one at a time. I found I could push and pull my blood circulation and pin pointed it where it hurt the most, which was over my left eye. I meditated and prayed with all my heart. I felt, what I can only explain as a popping sensation / blood circulation going down the leftside of my nose by my eye. My headaches ended that morning and had been gone ever since. I wish I could share the joy I get from something as trivial as looking at a cloud and not getting that piercing pain of yesterday.

Bosco, your insurance should cover it for CH! And they usually have a partial bottle left over to hit any spot you request. You know, cause it has to be trashed after all. Why are you footing the bill?

Exciting to see clusterheads starting to file in, and the ultimate combo of snazzy T shirts plus candelabras. I'm still guarding (and occasionally wearing!) my 2012 Clusterbusters conference T Shirt. Recognizing a couple of American types in attendance so far.

People are wandering in now....
