Bejeeber

Well last I heard kaboom, next in line after Lee Ann is actually Hipshot's O2 tank with boobs, so I'm afraid we all may be outa luck. :'( I heard that when Bonkers learned that Hipshot would take the boobed O2 tank over him he was weeping uncontrollably for a month straight. Crossing any lines yet?

I'm also guessing that it wouldn't be wise - I think that crosses the line, depicting you engaging in a whole other level of illegality that shouldn't be flaunted. I also think it's BS that showing you getting a present in the mail is a big part part of the story, and in her misguided zeal she's carelessly trying to insist on something that could bring a s**tstorm of trouble. If a picture is worth a thousand words then they can get a picture of you saying that an angel came to your aid. 8-) Devil on my shoulder: "On the other hand....maybe no law enforcement agency has any desire to prosecute someone effectively treating their worst pain known to mankind......?" Angel on shoulder: "Not worth the risk!"

One more thing, Zip - I think you'll find that LSD, psilocybin, etc. are discussed openly here by members and moderators alike.

Hey zipzip, Sorry to hear about your chronic status, but hats off to your doctor for mentioning Sid (what an extreme rarity for me to say something positive about a doctor! ) I bet, like many other chronics here, you've tried every prescription pharmaceutical under the sun by now. Well you came to the right place, because these alternatives really work for the majority of those who've tried them. Hang tight, more dedicated, knowledgeable folks will undoubtedly be along to advise you. Meanwhile, I concur with jeff about the value of O2 as an abortive. Not the low liter flow with rebreather mask way of administering O2 that is still prescribed by doctors, but the newer, power user style of O2 that unlike that wimpy low flow baloney really works! here's the O2 info link if you haven't seen it yet: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/O2/index.html So you can order RC seeds legally right this moment and be trying them in a day or two. Or as far as what some of us consider to be a more powerful treatment - mushrooms - is concerned, the worst case scenario I can see for you there is that you could order spores (legally) and start growing them right away. Very pertinent links for all of this have been compiled into the *BUSTING INSTRUCTIONS* sticky topic in the section above the other other topics by our fabulous Dallas Denny. Here's the link for that: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1298051886 Welcome home Zipzip. 8-)

Les, this is a bit off topic, but I've noticed Ron and Michael reported mood elevation with licorice tincture use. I tried a bottle's worth and I found myself in a fiarly consistent, particularly good mood after awhile. Now that I'm off of it that happy sunshiney boost is going away. It could be coincidence of course, but I suspect the tincture is a factor here. So my questions are: 1) Is there any dose that you'd consider safe for continual use? 2) I'm one hypoglycemic SOB, and when I take it on an empty stomach (which = low blood sugar), it seems to perk my blood sugar up, followed by a pretty quick drop. I think I'd be better off taking it right before a meal or something. Anything wrong with taking it with food instead of on an empty stomach? Thanks.Â

Wow. Just wow wow wow. A whole PF week for you after your struggles is just incredible. Another beacon of light and hope that 2011 doesn't have to be all bad. One PF week for Ting, one great day brightener for CB kind.Â

I went and checked it out - that is a good, objective, and definitely helpful summary. Thanks CH Daddy-o! 8-)

I have to wonder of there'd be a more realistic chance of getting BOL FDA approved and prescribed by neurologists, and if putting the focus on raising awareness about BOL could be the most effective way to get this kind of relief to CH'ers in a mainstream sort of way? Plus if this BOL stuff really works it would have the tremendous benefit for so many of us of being non-hallucinogenic.

I share the enthusiasm of the others about O2. Have you been prescribed imitrex pill form? That's a common mistake made by doctors because they all too often don't know jack about CH. The pills are too slowwww acting. I personally don't experience side effects from imitrex (other than it prevents busting from working, and it costs a tremendou$ amount). The fast acting imitrex injections can really be relied upon to abort attacks - even the wake up hits - for the average CH'er. So one strategy is to go all out getting your O2 rigged up to be your first line abortive, and reserve imitrex injections for back up just in case. If you could strictly use O2 for aborts while preparing to bust, that would be ideal of course. If you're stuck with just pills and no O2 tonight, I've heard others besides Keith report that taking the imitrex pill before bed can prevent the night time hit.

Hi Narelle, It does my heart a whole lotta good to see you've connected with Dallas Denny. You really are in good company since there are many parents extremely concerned about their adult children who have come here after exhausting what the medical types have to offer, and have seen things really turn around as a result. Hats off to you for going the extra mile and then some to find relief for your daughter.

Several girls huh? I wonder if Cassanova might be a better forum name for you?

LOL - good stuff Dereksgirl - and glad to hear the lousy freeking cycle is over! ;D

OK so last time I checked, us human bums are warm blooded, and that means "Maintaining a relatively constant and warm body temperature independent of environmental temperature; homeothermic." So running a fever is different from taking a hot bath, and should have a different effect, right?

Cool. I emailed the site owner and suggested he update his cb.com links to include this message board (it looks like his links to cb.com are older and predated the message board).

Belated Happy B Day to the Oop oop oop oop Big Alley OOP.

Yes thanks mucho DD for being all Joe Proactive Guy and gittin' 'er done!

I didn't mean just eaten by itself! I meant sprinkling on food! ;D

Yeah! I have just one more idea - what do you think about putting the topic title in CAPITAL LETTERS so it will have maximum stand out potential for the huddled CH masses hitting the information overload zone here for the first time with one eye closed and drugged to the hilt? Oh OK, 2 ideas then - I've been to forums where they have a newcomers read first type sticky on top and it consists of the rules of conduct and crap about the forum. Does anyone actually read those? So is there a way to title this topic so it immediately lets newcomers know exactly why they want to read it - like specifically saying it contains the main thing people are after, which is "busting information" or something? I'll throw my first candidate for topic re-titling out here into the brainstorming pit: *BUSTING INSTRUCTIONS* and info for Newcomers

I think this is good , that it needs to be a big bold sticky, and agree with CHfather about adding the O2 link. Something I've been meaning to suggest for quite awhile, is that a link to this and/or the ClusterBuster files needs to be the most prominent thing front and center can't miss it with a big CLICK HERE on the clusterbusters.com front page. I see people over at ch.com simply suggesting to newcomers to go to clusterbusters.com, but when the newcomer arrives at the clusterbusters.com URL they have some real navigation challenges ahead if they want to get to this most pertinent of info. This is why I never suggest to anyone at ch.com that they simply go to clusterbusters.com.

Hey vacuum cleaner induced turkey neck and cheek fat pulling reenactments are the stuff compelling TV is made of! ;D And how could they NOT feature that in their promo?! 8-)

Dan you'd make a SWELL candidate IMO! A little surprised that the no LSD thing may change for ya, since it would be a significantly longer lasting tripping experience than mushrooms. :o Of course if the mushrooms are losing effectiveness, it's completely understood why one would step up to the biggest of the busting big guns, damn any temporary side effects. I think I'm starting to realize a possible advantage for us of the Nat Geo focus on LSD: The case for BOL is pretty compelling when you see people having great success with LSD, then the question is asked: "why can't these people be prescribed BOL - a NON hallucinogenic form of LSD??!!"

Carol please do follow up afterwards, whatever the results. I've seen zillions of CH'ers (including myself!) report having wisdom or other teeth extracted, blaming them for the CH, only to find no connection. It's a common rite of passage it seems. Of course your thing is different, with cavitations caused by tooth yanking being suspect, so I for one will be waiting right here for post operative results. Thanks.

Next thing you know a bunch of us will be lining up for flu shots - but a different version that is chock full of live virus. Â

You go Jeffrey!! ;D [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Cool. And not to be punching a fabulous gift horse in the mouth or anything , but too bad IMO they're so focused on LSD, since there would be a MUCH larger talent pool to draw from if they were giving equal time to mushrooms.....
