I've procured and used welding oxygen since 2009....I've used 3 different welding supply shops and never had an issue....just don't tell them you intend to breathe it.....since you have the optiO2mask on the way, you'll just need to get an O2 regulator from harbor freight and either lease or buy a cylinder from welding supply.

Welcome to the community Doc! I was diagnosed in Dallas by a neurologist that was also a CH'er! I'll look forward to meeting you in Austin! Dallas Denny

G'mornin Nikkk! Do a Google search on Dr James Fadiman's and "The Psychedelic Explorers Guide". He is most probably the leading authority on microdosing and actually spoke at a clusterbusters conference a few years back! Dallas Denny

Nice to see ya again Bobb! Austin is going to be a blast....If ya can't find some genre of music you like on 6th st, you might just not like music at all.....and some of the street artists are phenomenal! DD

Hey Shaggy! Been along time my friend! Good to see ya here! DD

Some of ya'll might remember the authors post here requesting interviews....I'm the "older man" referenced who chose to remain anonymous...funny that I spent 30 minutes on the phone answering questions (many of them incriminating which was why I chose anonymity) but was credited with a quote I didn't make?? Lmao! Oh well, press coverage just the same! http://nymag.com/thecut/2015/12/psychedelic-mushrooms-cured-my-cluster-headaches.html

Hi Mit12! This piece doesn’t speak to your specific "memory" question.....However, the fact that psilocybin is creating new neural pathways in the brain makes it seem like not too much of a stretch to think that it might have some affect on memory as well. http://www.businessinsider.com/magic-mushrooms-change-brain-connections-2014-10 Dallas Denny

Wishing all a very Merry (pf!) Christmas and a Happy New Year! Onward Dallas Denny

Yes!! 6th Street here we come!

G'evenin dreamrider! Good info CHfather gave ya on the welding oxygen rig....I've been using it for over 6 years and it works great, you don't have to deal with idiot docs, and it doesn't cost any more if as much as medical O2! During the course of an almost 16 week cycle this summer I spent a total of $80 on 3 large cylinders and still have half a tank in reserve for my next dance lessons with the Beast! In the past I leased tanks with $100 deposit, $6/mo lease, and $17/refill....my supplier quit leasing so I had to buy the cylinder this year for $300 and pay $20/refill. I should add that it's only because I busted every 5 to 7 days through out the cycle that i was able to use that small amount of O2.....I can dispatch the majority of my hits in less than 5 minutes....busting and welding oxygen has more than likely saved my life! DD

Hi dreamrider and welcome to the community! Very thorough intro post,however, I didn’t see a mention of oxygen? As to new developments, read up on 5-MeO-DALT in the busting stories section....This process was developed by a member here a couple years ago and is being used by ch'ers worldwide with much success! We began dancin with the Beast about the same time. ..early 84 here! Dallas Denny

ibh, the larger weld ox tanks all use CGA540 specs....The link CHf gave you for the harbor freight reg is the one most folks get for weld ox rigs....they don't have an Lpm readout...you just crank it open til the bag refilling as fast as you can huff it...don't buy a reg from the welding supply as it will cost significantly more than harbor freight. ...been using one of em for 6 years and it works great! Dallas Denny

G'mornin Enli! It has been awhile since I've seen your name here! Unfortunately you do have to agree to not using any treatments other than those in the trials with the exception of O2 I think. I'm 68 which has disqualified me for all of the latest studies as well (well, you know we grow out of CH in our late 50's. ..pfffttt)! Nice to see you again and glad you're having success with busting! Dallas Denny

G'mornin morning J Damn! I was afraid this was gonna be your answer concerning O2 bud and sorry I was remiss in not asking before now! High flow oxygen will CHANGE your life with regard to CH!! Your doc is completely full of shit! I can routinely abort a hit in 5 to 8 minutes with O2....it won't prevent the next attack but I can get up with a hit, abort, and back to bed sleeping in 15 to 20 minutes! So, there's 2 routes to getting O2...doctors script for medical O2 or setting up your own welding oxygen rig. ..for medical the doc needs to write you a script for "oxygen at 15 to 25 lpm, PRN for cluster headaches delivered via a non rebreather mask".....and you need to order an optiO2mask from the clusterheadaches.com store (less than $30)...made specifically for clusterheads! You'll need an M sized tank (4 1/2' tall and about 10" diameter) for home use and some E tanks for mobile use. If you have problems getting the scripts let me know and I'll fill you in on the weld ox setup....that's what I've personally been using for the last 6 years. I see Pete (Batch) dropped in with some info and that you still had some questions....I expect he'll keep an eye on your thread but if he doesn't respond to your questions today, I'll get another message out to him. DD

Hey Jtux! You might want to check out John Fletchers clusterheadachefoundation.com....He has assembled a lot of info and is the process of writing a detailed history of CH for his site. DD

Hi CCH59! Ralphsters is a trusted source for spores and has long been a friend to the clusterbusters community! Dallas Denny

G'mornin J! Happy to see you've started a thread this mornin! The only question I can answer regarding starting the D3 regimen is that you can start it prior to having a level test. I think perhaps the best advice you can get is one on one with Batch so I'll email him directly and ask him to stop by today. Also, I couldn't find mention in any of your posts regarding O2 therapy....usually one of the first things we inquire about from a new poster! Do you have Oxygen? If so and it's not working for you, how are you administering it? This is a huge issue for busting as well as being able to detox! I've seen two folks from Canada recently who were running into problems getting their docs to write scripts for high flow oxygen so wanted to make sure this isn't the case for you! DD

JcDonny Best bet is to contact OUCH UK....The kind folks there will help muddle thru ya'lls system and they'll also be able to provide you with a HOOF form that your doc has to fill out and submit

G'evenin Doc Leila! Welcome to the community but sorry you're here! To be very honest, your case is very much different than most folks I've encountered over the years! I've been ECH for 31 years. ...typical cycles are 16 to 20 weeks with as few as 2 and up to 8 hits daily followed by an 18 mo remission. If I remember correctly, you're said to be CCH if you have 30 or less painfree days in a year so I think you're a bit early in worrying about becoming chronic....but I DO understand your fear! Sorry to see that the alternatives haven't been effective for you! Have you looked into the vitamin D regimen? Dallas Denny

So sorry I was unable to attend this year as well....I've been fortunate to have the opportunity to attend 2 in the past so I fully understand your sentiments Kurt! Chatter this mornin is that next year's location is between Denver, Austin, Vegas, and DC.....torn between Goin back home to Colorado and a trip down the road a piece for a party on 6th street....hmmmm...legal cannabis or an outrageous music venue.....decisions, decisions. ..not that my decision makes a feck I reckon!

This year's t shirt! https://m.facebook.com/groups/17789934480?ref=m_notif&notif_t=group_activity&actorid=1383985303#!/photo.php?fbid=10154216895779348&id=718814347&set=gm.10153611020054481&source=48&refid=18&_ft_&__tn__=E

I did a phone interview with Dayna this morning for her article....she also said she had received several other emails and will be contacting them as well! ! DD
