Bejeeber

After experiencing a concert with these guys in ideal surroundings last summer where they played a couple of these new songs ('Livin' In a World Gone Mad' and 'Meanwhile') I'm a genuine fan. http://www.myspace.com/dumpstaphunk So funky it may be illegal. Something unusual about their instrumentation: TWO bass players (!)

Well Kaboom, if anyone hands out any bonker awards at a conference, I think we should clearly rule this option out for the manner of presentation - even if some would find it could bring a temporary, welcome distraction from a CH attack:

Is my link to the Bomba Shack on Little Apple Bay topic not werkin? Bomba Shack link: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1297450426

Thanks Ron! I shan't be including myself on the list until I meet the stringent criteria though - otherwise everyone would receive a bonker, and then how special would a bonker be??!! Consider your suggested inclusion of the notorious gang of 3 a dun deal though. Maybe the rank and file soldiers such as myself can be peresented with a purple heart (or droopy eye?) award. And a reminder to all regarding bonker nominations: These are reserved for just 2 categories of folk who exemplify altruism and/or bravery:

Each medal of honor awarded is known as a "bonker", for reasons soon to unfold: These are reserved for just 2 categories of folk who exemplify altruism and/or bravery: .Â

Just when I was trying to tame my doctor bashing tendencies you go and provoke me! Insert some good ol' fashioned doctor bashin' here: I find it incredible that headache specialists (in the US at least) routinely require CH patients in crisis to wait months for an appointment. There's just no imaginable no excuse for that whatsoever (they could reserve an appointment slot each week for an emergency CH patient, or there would be many other ways to make an opening). I still think it would be good to have a very public list of these doctors where they could be called out by name, detailing the repercussions of their negligence, callousness, greed and blatant violation of the hippocratic oath in a way that would come up whenever someone looks them up online.

Count me in.

The term 'YEEHAW!' immediately comes to mind. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Wow what an inspiring post - thanks for that Mwib87! 8-)

Last I heard it's at the Bomba Shack. 8-)

Well you're officially drafted into the message board house band "The Fuster Cluckers" now Scott (Um, if you hadn't been already and I missed it). Hipshot provided the band name, which is clearly pure genius. 8-)

Sorry I don't know the answer to that, I just know that people have been reporting relief when taking it all in one dose per day, and that since vitamin D3 is fat soluble it needs to be taken with food or drink that includes some kind of fat content.

Whether it's the busts or the D3 or both, YES YES YES that is genuinely NIFTY!Â

Hi Kika - there are folks here with more experience than me, but I'll go ahead and take a shot at some of your questions anyway while we await the experts. If it was me, I'd order RC seeds and take them ASAP (you could be busting with them in just a couple days), and also start growing mushrooms (for sort of a backup) ASAP. Now, if you were able to get mushrooms sooner than later without having to actually wait for them to grow, I'd go for those as a first choice. That's because mushrooms have worked better for me than RC, and they seem more powerful to me. That's not the case with everyone though, so some personal trial and error may be necessary. As far as the actual experience is concerned - this is how it has broken down for me: RC: With 50 of them before bed I sleep better than usual and hardly notice a thing, except for about 60 seconds of nausea. Mushrooms: 1.5 grams and I trip like a futhermucker. I may be kind of a lightweight/cheap date. ;D LSD: The experience is extremely similar to mushrooms for me - it just goes on and on and lasts almost twice as long as mushrooms.

Count me in as also overwhelmed by this story. Wow - THANK YOU for sharing that Alex, and I too hope to meet you one day on your world travels. Ugh. Well I hope that sort of discouragement of the use of natural preventatives and strict promotion of toxic ones will be occurring less and less at OUCH as the word gets out.Â

Or maybe hopping on a plane today to St. Thomas - the Bomba shack - is something to look into.....? http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1297450426

My CH started 30+ years ago. Amount of cavities/fillings I've had in my lifetime: Zero. I've been clocked on the noggin purty good though as a kid. I know some CHers have a knee jerk response that "it's a defective hypothalamus - head trauma has nothing to do with it". To which I have to think "yoohoo! head trauma can cause the hypothalamus to become defective".

You may have to just change your forum name from hipshot to STONER. Hey I just noticed that above your name it says you are a "God member". And now I'm seeing the same for a couple other choice veterans like Bonkers and Alley oop. God, not gold? ;D Didn't realize that y'all are some kind of saints. Well except for Ron - I knew for sure Ron's a saint.Â

Seems unlikely to me. I've seen reports though of those who had their CH go into remission during their years of "recreational" hallucinogen use, only to realize when it came back afterwards that is was likely the hallucinogens that had kept the CH at bay.

What they said!

Have you had the surgery Carol? if so, how'd it go?

Hi Christin, Being glad to see you're not alone is a common sentiment when folks first arrive here, then that often gives way to "glad I found out how to get some relief!". Please stay with us here and I'll be looking forward to reports of both your mom and yourself finding significant relief. In the meantime, today, assuming you don't immediately have your O2, you could always try the harmless "put your nose up to the blasting car air conditioner vent and deeply breathe the freezing air" trick at onset of an attack. This will abort an attack for some of us some of the time, as can extremely vigorous exercise - as in sprint all out 'til you drop. And feel free to bring your ice pack to the car with you. You could even have some ice cubes in your mouth onthe cluster side. 8-)

Just please don't overlook the good news about people that are avoiding cycles altogether with busting.

Hey Arcan - if you try imitrex injections, this link that describes how to stretch your doses is some genuinely critical info: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/imitrex.html
