Glad you found us, sorry you had to find us. I have read that yes, we do get ptsd from these things. How can you go through some of if not the worst pain a human can experience and not be full of those feeling of dread, of panic of fear over the next. I have had many instances of this over the years being chronic. Like I am going to lose my mind. So many here are so knowledgeable and can steer you right. This really is an amazing place for those in the trenches and those helping those in the trenches.

Hey Hey! Welcome to the forum. It's a battle brother, I have 25 years under my belt and I still start to lose my mind after about week 5 or so. The no sleep part is what does it for me. You seem to be very informed about all things CH! I wish you well fellow warrior.

I saw a comment by Flash on his Facebook homepage this morning about a new, soon to be published book about us by Dr Joanna Kempner!! How a group of regular citizens debilitated by excruciating pain developed their own medicine from home-grown psilocybin mushrooms—producing near-clinical grade protocols, and their fight for recognition in a broken medical system Joanna Kempner is the premier expert on the social impact of headache diseases. In Psychedelic Outlaws, she follows a group of people called “Clusterbusters,” a community bound by their experience with cluster headache—a neurological disease so excruciating, its pain is often likened to being shot in the head, repeatedly, multiple times per day. Obtaining a diagnosis can take years and treatments often leave patients worse off than they were before. There's a grim reality behind the disease's nickname, suicide headache. Kempner’s narrative traces this patient movement to its origins to the extraordinary experiments conducted by a man named “Flash” in Aberdeen, Scotland, and then follows it forward, as the idea of using psychedelics for pain begins to gather in the early days of the internet, and then eventually became a full-fledged effort to bring this knowledge to universities. Their story looks at the politics of pain, why some drugs make it to market when others don’t, and our culture’s complicated history with psychedelics.

@Bejeeber and to think that we owe all of this to Flash wanting "to get off me tits" as he put it...lmao!

I see it is available for pre-order: https://www.amazon.com/Psychedelic-Outlaws-Movement-Revolutionizing-Medicine/dp/0306828944
