I don't feel that Dallas Denny's frustration is misplaced. The claim in the above quote from Deborah Zale can immediately be identified as entirely false, but @Douglas Ward I don't think you'd necessarily realize that at this point in your membership here, since you appear to have jumped in with immediate single minded intent to spread your message. Seriously consider scaling back your frequency of posts (you've hit the ground running here with a lot of posts right off the bat), and be aware that posting of false claims including the one from Deborah "would love to slap all of us in the face" Zale that Bob Wold relentlessly attacked her (??!!) is offensive.

@Douglas Ward So now you think it's cool to post something from someone dissing our founder and all of us who have been here day in and day out for the last 15 years answering questions and supporting other clusterheads? Just shaking my fucking head at the audacity of some folks.....the rest of you can put up with this bullshit if you want but I'm out...

@Douglas Wardwhat gets me with your posts , is you jump in with i have the cure , then you say you still get attacks, so when people question you , you say its just my experience, so it's NOT a cure!!!!!! It's just your experience!!!!!!!!!. Then you attack the group , if you are cured from CH buddy I would just leave this group , NO need for you to be here ,

....enough....please...

Can you get her user name? I think that 'most' things that help should be applied here perhaps. I had a mysterious 10 year full remission two decades ago too, but those suckers happen on their own from what I can gather. I was chronic and they just stopped one night. But, I was not cured and when they returned they were all nocturnal and that was a first. So, yes, remission is possible, but don't count on a cure. You and Dr. Shevel have the same hairline, jawline and smile! Remarkable....... I am delighted for you being pain free currently! Enjoy it and may you never experience another cluster! And I definitely share your delight with your results. The word 'cure' is hard to swallow here and for good reason. ATB

I haven't got a problem with your experiences at all , but your post states CURE !!!!!!! , your not cured simple as that !!!!!, and yes I'm know in my 27th month pain free , Have you ever thought that your CH has just switched sides

Here's an especially pertinent quote from Bob Wold on the the topic: " We have had the medical records of a couple actual patients that went through this treatment, with the permission of the patients, reviewed by one of the top headache specialists in the USA. He reported that the procedures used are unnecessary, ineffective and dangerous. This includes both the surgeries often involved (numerous) and the types of medications often used in large doses." "There are many people that report either a trigger to start a cluster cycle or an unexpected end of a cycle following all sorts of surgeries. From giving birth to minor surgeries to major surgery. No one knows why surgery can have this effect but in my experience it appears to probably be related to the different types of anesthesia used. Local or general. This could be a connection to why some people get relief with Ketamine. I would never recommend someone in cycle to schedule open heart surgery as a treatment for cluster headaches, even though you might wake up from surgery out of cycle." To be clear, the treatments offered at this SA clinic do not include open heart surgery, but the number of stitches I've seen on patients is probably close to the same number." "This is just one theory of why some people may report even temporary relief from these treatments but most experts that have looked at these treatments deem them as dangerous." Bob Wold
