Sometimes you get hit and no alternatives are available. Sometimes they dont work 100% of the time, for whatever reason, they still need to hear hear from us how effective they really are and what we are doing so as not to interfere with other treatments that may be implemented?. Whenever you have a cluster attack it needs to be documented on the medical record.[smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] bb

You look really young Brew...lol Nice pike! That has to be a good memory. Stay in the boat Dan. bb

Ya well I ended up jabbing when I didn't want too either so he is not alone. My wife also gets twitterpaited when I am writhing on the floor so I am sure she knows how you feel. Keep up the good fight. bb

Atta girl. [smiley=beer.gif] Keep your chin up and your toes down. bb

Yes I have had the heart take off prior to a hit. I figured it was part of the endocrine system reacting before I knew what was coming.(adrenaline) Good luck with the taper. Dont wait around for what you know is coming. Let us know how you do Coop. bb

The Feds are doing all they can to oppress medical research.....still after all of these years and all the proof of medicinal value of these substances. Makes me want to vote for Ron Paul. Enjoy the reading http://app.streamsend.com/s/1/REYV/jXQmhiD/39tkb bb

When you go to the doc, ask for a referral to a neurologist if you havent already. That's the one who will get even close to the proper diagnosis. Hope you dont have clusters. bb

Prednisone is transitional it should be used as a taper while some prevent takes effect. I have been on pred for as long as 2 months at 60 to 40 mg. The neuro bumped it back up when I was tapering down to allow the prevent more time to ramp up to theraputic levels. Going on too long with pred can enhance side effects and get ugly, especially when you taper off from long term use. Anything can prolong an episode. The only thing predictable about cluster attacks is they are unpredictable. They say prolonged episodes are caused by this or that, episodes last as long as they last. : bb

Looks like I will be detoxing in the boat....lol Grab the net granny. bb

Big man. I am 5' 4" 145...I use 30 to 50. I dose 3 to 5 day intervals. Many start with 25 and go up from there. LSA is not as hallucinogenic as shrooms so if he feels anything it would be flush, and relaxed, perhaps a slight euphoria. I wouldn't mix them with other seeds simply because of control. You do as you see fit. The pain will dictate. Dont eat them on an empty stomach. Eat something light an hour before ingestion to avoid possible stomach cramps and nausea although this is not common it can happen. LSA is a great tool, confusion will be replaced by knowledge. bb

If the docs can practice medicine then so can we. Practice makes perfect. Giver hell Dave. bb

12.5 lbs 31in. walleye I dont get hit when fishin. :DIt's when I stop. :'( Dont mean to brag.....ok yes I do. : bb http://clusterheadache.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=international

Stay away from the weed until your episode is gone. Being fairly young with short episodes I would suggest..pick one therapy and stick with it. Traditional or alternative. Weather d-3 therapy works with traditional therapy I couldn't say. What you should do I cant say. I would avoid anything that makes me drousy. Caffeine and 02 works well together and with good timing you can complete your studies and get some rest in between. Smoking the ganga does not promote that too well unless your one of the lucky ones that it does not effect. If the prednisone fails during your taper an option is to bump it back up...at the direction of your doctor. A more complete abortive plan would help. 02, caffeine, energy drinks, and pharmaceuticals, triptans like imitrex has helped many avoid much pain. Cardio and vascular stimulation by exercise or other means helps to abort. Dont mix therapies throwing everything together at once doesn't help a whole lot and may counterindicate each other,at least for me. Do rethink the mushrooms if your subject to depression.LSA would be a better option in that case.This is just advice and I do not profess to know a whole lot just my experiences over the years. Every case of cluster attacks is severe. Your pain is no less than mine. I would love to go to Chile. Hope this helps :-? bb

I wouldn't be able to say what to do. I have used 3 or 4 mushy doses at one week intervals,(breaks up that episode), then follow up with 2 or 3 lsa doses at the same interval to finish things off. Maintenance doses of lsa every 3 months. YMMV Long episodes suck bb

This thread just gets better and better. thanks all bb

whoa...Depression is part of the syndrome. Sleep deprivation and drug therapies play into it as well. I get alittle whacked on prednisone for example. I cant tell you what to do, however I would suggest some intervention of some type perhaps a leave from each other to calm down. Therapy comes to mind. Mental illness has no causation to cluster attacks that I know of, rather the other way around. I have found solace in many techiques, prayer, meditation, professional therapy, self education, marriage counseling, are a few examples. When a situation reaches a fevered pitch someone needs to de-escalate the conflict. By your own actions it will get better or worse. Prayers for you and yours. bb

Were booked. 8-) Pardon me,"were with the Jay Leno show".....lol bb

double trouble..my best to the duo and ma and dad too. bb

Good one spiny!!! bb

I do not dispute your theory. I just am not so inclined to try one thing or another on top of what is going on now. :-/ Similar to detoxing I would not go for other tecniques or trials,mixing and throwing whatever comes up as to avoid perhaps an aggrivation of the attacks or counterindications to present therapy. I do commend your zeal in self study and passing on your knowedge and theory. bb

Keep on the 02 a bit longer after the pain leaves at least 10 minutes. It will extend the length between hits for you. Go to the welding supply store and get an 02 regulator, it will deliver more flow than you can huff, provided you have a bottle with CGA-540 fitting for connection. Medically this is a tank of M or J size. Welding wise it is almost any size. Go to Flotec.com, you can order any regulator you want Call them you want to talk to Ashley Here's the contact stuff John, Your unit is shipping out today. You should be receiving your invoice and credit card receipt here shortly. The UPS tracking # will be on the invoice.
