Bejeeber

Hi cn, I have zero scientific data on this, sorry, I'll just give you my impression from having seen probably over a thousand accounts from CH'ers (and talked to many in person) over the years: LOW. In fact at the moment I'm not recalling an instance of CH inherited by a daughter from her mother. And even in the unlikely worst case scenario of you inheriting CH, newer treatments (such as busting, high flow 100% O2, D3 regimen) are improving the lot of CH'ers dramatically and IMO we're just getting started in that dept., so you could pretty much count on suffering WAY LESS than your mom has. Now maybe someone with some harder statistics or what not can supply a less anecdotal reply.Â

As far as injections go, last time I checked, 6 mg is pretty much the max dose, as high as they go. Lotsa headbangers do find 2 mg to be effective. When I was still injecting (back before I became a buster), I settled at 3 mg. I might've been able to go for 2mg, but the one time I tried it I didn't catch the attack as close to onset as usual, and it got away from me, the one and only super pent up, angry, full blown 3 hour attack of that entire cycle Afterward I figured "um yeah, maybe I'll stick with 3 mg just to be safe - and always catch them right at onset!"Â

Regarding the injections, I don't personally experience any perceptible side effects from them, but I hope that if you're not already deploying reduced dosage injections, it might be an approach that would help you experience less side effects....?

I don't believe a yay could be uttered (or in my case uddered) loudly enough, but I shall try: [move]YAY. YAY. YAY. YAY. YAY. YAY. YAY. YAY.[/move]

As trite as it may sound in the context of someone being slammed with unrelenting CH attacks, I'm going to still encourage you to hang in there - you really might be nearing the end of this cycle, right? Pulling for you, and for this cycle to just be completely kaputsky ASAP. Then next time you can be laying in wait and ready to bust it to smithereens with a knockout blow at the first sign.

When Fabac's dang country internet is down we're all the poorer.

I hadn't seen it - thanks Didgens. I don't have a clue at the moment as to what nasal CO2 technology is..... :-?

Yep that is a good well written article IMO, thanks purp.

I think I may just start referring to him as MOI instead of CHf. ;D

Ooh besides lookin' all purty, I imagine that fresh cut wood has it smellin' dam nice in there too. It's hard to beat a good looks plus good sniffs combo. [smiley=thumbup.gif]

What they said.Â

OOH. Seed pods alert! Seed pods alert! So kool.

Sheesh, it's medicinal, beautifully ornamental, and it sounds like it could help honey bees who have been in crisis with their colonies collapsing. It is imbued with triple goodness! Here's hoping a metric ton or two of seeds come blurting out of those thousands of blooms. ;D

Wha??!! Where did you find that and how was it even filmed without my authorization?! OK I will go ahead and admit that for some time now I have in fact enjoyed a rewarding career as a professional dancer on the habenula circuit. That and break dancing.

Interesting fer sure, thanks. Although I have to admit I first clicked on this topic it because I thought the habenula might be a new dance step.

Ah, understood, and glad to see you've been proactively planning on kickng 2015 off by opening that honking can of whoopass. ;D

[Psssst....insert the obligatory "ahem, isn't it time to be a-busting right around now?" nagging reminder from Jeebs here. Jeebs who is now starting to refer to himself in the 3rd person, Lord help us all.]

UGH. Of all the triggers THAT one is the worst rip off. > Here's hoping there can be some positive "caught up in the moment" times where the vicious attack is forgotten as you're in the midst of all the Frosty the Red Nosed Snowman hubbub.Â

The list is long, but you can get a look at the origins of The FusterCluckers at this classic-most of classic threads about the Bomba Shack: [smiley=vrolijk_1.gif] http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1297450426

Six entire hours?! That is indeed awesome. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] [smiley=thumbsup.gif] And yes you are officially recruited into the FusterCluckers house band now whether you like it or not.Â

Waiting 5 days after trex has indeed become standard practice 'round these here parts.

What Spiny said! Between the sleep deprivation and enduring the hits, etc., I think anyone would start to be feeling down about the whole thing right now, but I think the odds are still very much in your favor of a final result of pulling this busting thing off as hoped for. We're rooting you on big time with today's bust.

All I can say from personal experience is that when I would do freezing air inhalation therapy for aborting moderate attacks, sometimes reaching the point of brain freeze was also the point of "ahhhhhhh, sweet relief" from the behind the eye CH. I might have also been holding ice cubes in my mouth at the time - I don't remember for sure.

That is Cluster Plagiarism. (it's a genuine brainstorm of a brain freeze idea, but I'm afeared y'all have actually been beaten to it!) https://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1408796188
