Did you take the time to READ this thread and see that in 3 years you are the ONLY person with anything positive to say about this procedure with the exception of Dannyboy who the doc's son? Glad you're pf but this is a no sale for me.

Thanks Purple! I've watched it twice in the past couple of years. ..fascinating man...Google "the last interview of sasha shulgin" and you'll find another interesting article. And BTW, I want nothing to do with anything that he assigned a 4+!! DD

Documentary on the creator of mdma, 5-MeO-DALT, and many other tryptamines.

Hi nbonning! Unfortunately, oxygen machines don't work for clusterheads....it's not 100% O2 and the flow rate is much to low usually! All of the surgical options are only marginally effective for most folks. I've not seen anything regarding the prialt that you mentioned Your brother really needs to see a doc that has a clue on how to effectively treat cluster headaches.....and as has been mentioned, the vitamin D3 regimen works very well for lots of folks! DD

Welcome to the community nbonning...sorry you need to be here! You really need a doc that knows how to treat CH!! Imitrex pills are very ineffective and O2 administered correctly should be your go to aborttive! I have sent a message to a Clusterhead that i know from Seattle and will post again when I hear from her. Dallas Denny

Hey Pete! You now have the Cadillac of O2 masks! ! I use the mouthpiece.....full beard and mask don't play well together. ..lol...and yes, deep inhale. .hold while bag is refilling....mask or mouthpiece to the side. ..forcefully exhale with a mini crunch to get as much Co2 out as possible. ..repeat. If you get behind and the bags all the way full, rapidly inhale and exhale til the bag is empty....hold while bag refills. DD

Hi Pete! Getting on the O2 as soon as possible makes aborting a hit faster...the higher the kip when you start huffing the longer it takes to abort in my experience. I hate energy shots and drinks so I use either coffee or hot tea....before I hit the rack, I have either a cup of joe or water in the microwave and a tea bag out of the wrapper....As soon as I wake. I start the microwave and hit the O2...When the bell goes off I grab the mug and drink it down as quickly as I can and get back on the O2. Last thing before Goin back to bed is getting a mug ready for the next go round. This is a link to a video a clusterbuster friend made recently. Breathing technique starts at the 2 min mark.

Hi Cory! I have to echo CHf here!! I have used verapamil in the past for at least 4 or 5 years. ..it did help for a while but the side effects were terrible for myself and many others who I personally know. Oxygen has ZERO side effects and with the exception of trex (poison), it will abort a hit faster than anything else!! I also agree with his advice on the D3 regimen....remember that 20 is the low end of the "normal" parameters but most clusterheads see the best results at 60-80 which is the reason for the huge loading doses. Really happy to hear your sufferer has found some relief and glad that you found us!! O2 girl!! It will change his life!!! DD

Ok, this was a test to try to upload a pic....obviously, it didn't work and now I can't find away to delete my OP?

First yellow meat melon out of the patch this year!! Just barely stuck a knife in it and it split open!! Good ol Piss Chunk!! DD

Not sure if there is a definitive answer to your question, but I seriously doubt that the triptan triggered your cycle! I would be more inclined to think that your Beast was just late to the party this go round! Maybe he's gettin old like me and just temporarily forgot your address! Sorry you're gettin slammed...sending PF wishes your way! ! DD

Rotflmao! ! Good find Prof!! BTW, I'm stealing as well!! TOO feckin funny!!! DD

My little patch of woods has had 23" of rain since Apr 1.....13 of those since May 1.....another 4 to 6 forecast between now and Mon....Lake Texoma was at 613' less than 2 weeks ago...now at almost 638 and rising 1 ft a day....will breach the spillway this weekend at 640!! Last time I saw this feckin much rain was in Nam...course, in Dec of 66 we had almost 24" in 24 hours on hill 327 just outside of Da Nang! Damp Dallas Denny

LOL! Unfortunately, looks like they're about 3 years late for me..cutoff age is 65.....oh yeah, I was sposed to outgrow CH by now!!!! DD

"C".... DD

With the recent influx of new board members from Texas, it seems like a good time to start talking about a get together! We have sergical, fabac, lookin4answers, CH hubby.....old timers include peridiablo from lubbock, hipshot out in Abilene, CH-HELL down in McAllen, grannyB up around Texarkana and I'm now about 100 miles north of Dallas....and there may be some others that I've missed!! DD

Thanks for the compliments ya'll! DM...I dreamed of being able to do this type of carpentry for almost 40 years!! Fabac..My bride and I hosted several meet n greets in Dallas prior to the move up here....had folks in from abilene, mcallen, lubbock, and the Texarkana area....we need to figure out a location that would be central to everyone.....I know sergical is also from Texas and there are several others at ch.com..... Razor....those are pearl oysters that I found on a dead oak here on the property.....I took a spore print of the one in my hand and sent it off to CH-HELL....He grew it out on a petre dish, isolated a clean live culture and sent me several syringes of it.....The jar pics are wood dowels that I inoculated with that culture....drilled and inoculated about 40 logs with them last May which should begin fruiting this spring......The okies call em land fish cuz they taste like lobster when sauté d in butter....damn...now I'm hungry!!! The other mushroom pics are yellow morels which also grow wild here....they retail for $50 a lb!!! Jeebs...yep, smells like a lumberyard in here!! DD

Damn ya'll!! It's been a shade over 3 years since I started this thread....gee, ain't it funny how time just slips right on away!! I can now report that 65 years old is Way too freaking old to embark on a project of this magnatude! !! But, it has still been the experience of a lifetime!!! We reached a milestone last week when I got the last of the cedar cut and nailed up on the dining and living room walls......going to start furring out the windows and running trim...so, I thought I'd post a few pics this mornin!!!

Happy Thanksgiving from Okieland ya'll!! DD

Here ya go weatherman! Hope this works! [ftp] https://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1297450426 ftp]

Spiny, ER administration of nitro actually triggered a cycle for me....spent 4 days on the cardiac ward waiting for a heart cath (turned out to be a hietal hernia) gettin morphine shots in my IV port every few hours!! But, I finally went to a non VA neuro due to that cycle and got the CH diagnosis after being told for several years by VA docs that I had atypical migraines!!! And, cat scan dye triggered the worst hit I've ever endured!! DD

Hi Kmom My initial advice would be to procure a welding oxygen set up for him.....mask runs about $30, regulator from harbor freight for around $50, and then lease an m tank from welding supply...just don't let them know he's going to breathe it! Will be a life changer for him!! Many folks find success using RC seeds as a busting agent...you'll find all pertinent info in the cluster buster files. Welcome to the community and good luck!!

Sorry to hear you were unable to attend as well Bill!! Guess well just have to wait....Bob usually starts a pic thread after the conference. DD
