Bejeeber

I like the sounda that! ;D Agreed with Ron about the 20-25 seed thingy.

Just so ya know - The RC seeds are legal to order and to possess. If you yell out the window to a cop "hey look I'm ingesting some RC seeds right now, and it's illegal to do so!!" then I suppose he might feel obligated to investigate, although certainly it's not something cops are on the lookout for (?). I doubt they know or have reason to care what RC is. And hey the 100% legal D3 regimen has some chronics even reporting going into remission and is likely good for you regardless, so if you can spring for the ingredients at your drug store, here's the link detailing it: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1314134804 Sorry to hear about the dreaded unemployment thing - y'all certainly aren't alone! :'(

What Ron said! You seriously do need some good news, and fortunately there's plenty of that to go around here regarding CH and busting. My personal experience is that the attacks can become more severe as the decades with CH go by (not sure whether that was predetermined, or if prednisone etc. made them worse), but I ain't complainin' about it now since an angel type swooped in and helped me bust my last impending episode away. Yep there can be some nausea from mushrooms or even the otherwise very mild acting Rivea Corymbosa seeds that have gained some real popularity, but in my case at least it hasn't been strong enough to cause the actual barfy McBarf barf action. I bet you anything that yes you were indeed pain free during the wild years due to the fact that you were busting without realizing it - which I think of as a good sign that busting could work for you again. 8-)

He must've been hoping there were some pheromones in his horrible BO that would attract you on an unconscious level if he got you to sniff them long enough.  ;D

Here's the one Brew was passing around at the OUCH conference:

What Potter said.

Oh LORDYÂ LOL.

Agreed - I place the AMA in my *credibility shot* category and I sure as heck take anything coming from their ilk with a large sized grain of salt. Jumbo sized even. :-?

Fill it to the rim with Brim!

I figure 100 could be good but will defer to other forum member's insights on this. In the past when ordering I've found that about twice as many as ordered were actually supplied, which was a welcome surprise. 8-)

Does Jose per chance have a baby sitter who is a stripper and takes him to work with her? ;D

Hey OB, I entirely understand your concern about bad trips. The good thing about RC seeds is that many of us find that when we take a dose of 50 or so of them before bed, the effect is the opposite of anxiety - we simply get a more solid, sound night's sleep than usual. I have felt anxiety with a mushroom bust but not an RC bust. So this is what I'd do if I were you: Get that melatonin today and start taking it 9 mg before bed, all the way up to 18 or even 21 mg if necessary. This form of melatonin: n-Acetyl-5-Methoxytryptamine Get the ingredients for the new CH D3 regimen and start taking them today (some CH'ers report remission upon adopting this regimen, and it appears to be just plain good for you regardless): http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1314134804 Order the RC seeds today and after going off the Kudzu for 5 days (it is suspected that Kudzu can interfere with a bust) take 50 of them (following the preparation instructions) before bed. Then take 2 aspirin and call me in the morning. OK well maybe not that last one. ;D Hopefully you have an O2 E tank for your car?

Agreed with Jeff - If it was me, after the 5 days I would double the dose. Fingers and toes crossed.Â

Hey TiredO, I think Mystina is onto something there - if it was me I'd certainly be going for some RC seeds action ASAP (they're cheap, and could potentially be overnighted to you so you could be taking them before bed this Thursday!).

Oh Lordy the embarrassing stories are always the funniest!! ;D And animal videos can't be beat. ;D If Brew doesn't post the animal video he was handing around on his iPhone at the OUCH conference I'm going to have to post it. 8-) Thank you everybody.Â

Hey No Pain - glad yer lovin' life again. Were you in the midst of a chronic or episodic bout of CH when it stopped?

Aw c'mon, that blows Ron's whole 'Operation TingHitch' plan for Vegas 2012! ;D

I would consider having to use a mouthpiece instead of a mask to be a fine'n reasonable trade off for an econo DV. 8-)

I'm thinking it could be be described as a first choice O2 delivery system, not much of a ri$k since O2 does work for 95% or so of CH'ers. It saves the intermediate cost/hassle of a lesser system (where most of us end up stuck if we have purchased one), saves on O2 refill costs/preserves supply, potentially paying for itself over time, and cuts the risk of the *running out of O2 on a Sunday* incidents. I find myself burning thru tanks at a helluva rate during high cycle with my crude 45+ LPM high flow regulator technology, leading the O2 supplier to start balking at more refills without specific permission from the doc, which of course is a scenario fraught with peril. And a DV can make that portable E tank in the car last twice as long (if I'm interpreting this advantage correctly from the DV users I've spoken to). Just kinda thinking out loud here before I take my opinions about a cause for a modification to the CH info over to CH.com.Â

This is the same thing I'm hearing from other CH'ers with demand valves. Clearly this advantage is priceless, no? Thanks for that link to demand valve details CHF, I now have it bookmarked and ready to fire off to others. 8-)

Thanks for the mighty fine pics Racer1 - and as always, the captions are more'n half the fun - case in point below ;D :

O2 is a good thing to try first. Who could blame him for being a doctor-phobe considering their common ineptitude when it comes to treating CH? In a pinch many CH'ers will bypass the doc and get their O2 from a welding supply place without prescription. Please tell your hub that there are a lot of serious, long time, hardcore CH'ers and supporters here - his brothers and sisters from the CH tribe for cryin' out loud - who are in no mood anymore for screwing around with toxic treatments that don't work, but many of us have found tremendous relief outside the medical establishment. Here's one for zee hubby straight from the Jeebs: "Now that you've come across this info there's no reason anymore to just sit and suffer 'til it's over" Another thing you could do immediately is order RC (Rivea Corymbosa seeds) from one of the vendors like iamshaman.com. Heck you could have them overnighted and hub could be dosing with them this Wednesday night (if he doesn't have to detox from any drugs). If the RC doesn't work, don't despair, mushrooms likely will if you can get or grow any quick enough. And I'm sure you'll continue to keep a close eye on any advice from the super helpful crew here, CHfather (Jerry), Bonkers (Ron), Pixie Elf (Mystina), and so many other illustrious members that I shouldn't have even started trying to list them . 8-)

Hey Maxx! In a cycle is a bad place place to be, that's for sure, but yes there definitely is hope! You won't be the first spouse or other supporter who has helped a CH'er tremendously by searching this place out. Hipshot and CHfather's daughter for example (there are many others) have been pretty ecstatic about their results after their thoroughly heroic supporters found this site - glad you landed here!Â

Man, that Bob's a rascal. A smooth rascal.

When I was at the July OUCH conference, The Lifegas people were saying the problem was with quantities of scale, because so far basically 2 people and 1 dog or something are expressing real interest in one. I think there could be a bigger 'demand' for them from us CH'ers if the O2 info at ch.com wasn't sort of writing demand valve systems off with a brief mention of them as Rolls Royces, with all the how to info dedicated to high flow regulators and optimasks. $350 is expensive? Well yeah OK for some of us (like me at this moment) it is, but compared to the cost of prescriptions such as imitrex or ER visits it's a huge no brainer IMO for anyone who can possibly swing it to get one. I won't be surprised if attendees of this weekend's conference will come back with some more up to date info on demand valves that will render my blabbing here obsolete. And as far as cost is concerned, I think another thing to keep in mind is we'd need significantly less O2 tank refill$, since the way it's been described to me at least, with a demand valve the O2 doesn't just blast out incessantly while you're on it - only during inhales. If someone could actually offer a cheap demand valve, that would be freekin' great IMO. 8-)
