Bejeeber

LOL now that's keeping your beastie disciplined. A hit peaking at 9 - there's a horror show that'll screw with your day! > Here's hoping it was strictly a one time rogue visit from old feckface.  :-/

Why yes, yes those are eggzactly what I had in mind. ;D

Eggcellent, eggcellent work there keeping the D3 file info packed in a concise sorta way and up to date. Super helpful. [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Ooh good catch Tommy D, thanks. That article certainly is a good thing to have out there in the mainstream media IMO, and I see it also touches on the positive after effect a psychedelic mushroom experience can have on a person's outlook, as some of us have personally reported here. [smiley=thumbup.gif]

Agreed. I see no reason to let up on this line of hounding. ;D What Ron said.Â

That was a good smile inducer indeed Renee.

Just goes to show ya I guess that what works for one, won't for another. I have actually seen several CH'ers post on the other site (and some here also), that the happy ending to those last 4 words will abort a CH attack for them. Oftentimes this is reported by guys about the...ahem...solo version of said activity. I haven't gotten to looking at the other abstracts yet, but those do look like they are neat in myriad ways - wouldn't you agree CHfather? 8-) (sorry people, I just degraded the proceedings by engaging in some wordplay in-joking there) :-[

Hey RazorPP, I too found playing guitar in the wee hours to be a good way to focus away from the CH wake up calls, but wasn't able to pull it off at high kip levels of course. Not even the pull offs . Doh I inserted another bad pun there.Â

Hi Renee, I've heard just recently that a good dark, cool place to store them is in the refrigerator. I don't how I went years and years ordering and then storing RC for months at a time in kitchen cabinets without that occurring to me.Â

That is stunningly awesome. :o Thank you thank you thank you Bob'n Kaboom.

I'm afraid I'm not well informed on the subject, so I can't offer an opinion with any sort of credibility. :-/ This got me to wondering though whether RC seeds could be something to try, since I and others have found we can just take a therapeutic dose before bed and get a better than usual night's sleep, without psychedelic effects, in contrast to mushrooms, where 1 gram can throw some of us into a state of sort of disorientation and there's more of a bad trip possibility....?

What he said! Glad that you've escaped major interference from the elements - when I hear about severe weather in Oklahoma I always think about you and the new house going up. Cool that you have your own private woods. 8-)

Great to have you here Red, and here's hoping that you'll find some good relief and can get back to sleeping with no need for fist clenching. I would imagine that high liter flow 100% O2, RC seeds and the vitamin D3 regimen could all be good things to try (simultaneously! ) as soon as you can.

What they said!

"cluster headache is associated with a low prevalence of cardiac disease as well as cerebrovascular disease even though the majority of patients are chronic heavy smokers. In US cluster headache sufferers, there appears to be comorbidity with restless leg syndrome, and this has not been demonstrated in non-US cluster headache populations." Interesting. I can vouch for being a CH'er with restless leg syndrome. I've relieved the RLS with magnesium BTW.

Yep, the deadly combo of ignorance and arrogance unfortunately appears to pervade that profession. > It's nice to be able to vent with some online doctor bashing - I know, I've had years of experience!

Happy B Day Lenny, but don't tell CHfather about that slip up or he might open up another can of whoop-ass on Ron!Â

So the head of Neurology is unaware of the existence of chronic CH and refuses to acknowledge it as a condition.... Sadly unsurprising.Â

Hey Ting, Sounds like nobody even had to use the bucket at cross fit. SWEEE-eee-EET! ;D Is this one of the impossible to upload pics you were talking about? ;D You do look like you're having a fun day! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] That tall dude in the middle needs to roll down his pants leg though.Â

And hey I just noticed that at least with this online version of the interview, we get to post replies, and get our $.02 about O2 and stuff in there. 8-)

Hey Jerry - In my view the statement is almost accurate, as it sounds like he's talking about a high dose burst of prednisone, which will more often than not completely stop the attacks. Of course it doesn't really stop the cycle though, since as he goes on to say, as soon as you taper down from the unsustainable high dose of prednisone, the hits likely come right back (and boy they often come back with a vengeance! ). So yeah, I too am disappointed in the omission of O2, etc., and the dismissal of natural treatments, since a natural treatment (mushrooms) is working better for me than anything else ever did! Also, one thing I try to keep in mind when reading interviews - but don't always succeed - is that IMO at least, *medical doctor* isn't the only profession that is rife with laxidasical, negligent slackers. Another prominent one is *journalist*. Misquotes in interviews have historically been the rule rather than the exception.Â

Hey Brad, Here's something I and some others have found about O2 and imitrex: I know I can safely hop on the O2 tank first without going for an imitrex injection, because if for whatever reason the O2 won't perform the abort alone, it keeps the attack at bay enough that when I throw in the towel I can jump to the imitrex and still abort with an injection as a last resort. That said, nothing under 45 (!) LPM O2 will abort an attack for me when in high cycle.

Ha! ;D So it turns out that one would have a good chance of sending their CH into remission by visiting a UK PMD, and practically zero chance by visiting a US PMD (primary medical doctor).Â

Hey Gord, Good to have ya here clusterbro! 8-) Sounds like you could use a serious backup CH fighter or 3 in your arsenal, and I'm agreeing with CHfather that high flow O2 would be something really good to be acquiring right around now. IMO you oughta try rockin' a demand valve system. 8-)

Yes. My CH has always been on the right side and I feel a real connection with that little varmint. ;D
