Welcome to the group. The first thing you have to do is get high flow oxygen with an Optimask. Go to the menu on the left of the screen and scroll to oxygen page. This is very important. The rest can come later. Dont worry about insurance. The whole set up will set you back less than a hundred dollars. Rent a big tank, get the correct mask and regulator and o2 refills every month or two for $10. A few doses of mushrooms will likely take the pain away by blocking the seratonin receptors. I havent read of anyone having constant cluster headaches all day every day. Whatever the case is, i dont think that the folks prescribing mushrooms to treat headaches centuries ago knew the difference. A headache was a headache and mushrooms were used as a treatment. You have taken the first step by getting on the board and asking questions. read read read. Knowledge is power Dan

Good on you Poli. Your English is better than my Spanish. Thank you for your post amigo. Dan

I have a mouth full of old school fillings, root canals, crowns, and wisdom teeth removed. I too have wondered if all of the foreign matter in my mouth could have anythng to do with this pain. I have even contemplated having all teeth pulled. I would gladly use dentures, or go with no teeth at all if it would take the pain away. Thanks for the post and please keep us updated. Dan

I just read FunGuys post about our getting a kids view. Superb idea. ...and Ron, I am well aware of what I can, and can't do while on parole 8-) Dan

Thanks Jeeber. A deal is a deal... I told agent orange if he'd volunteer, I would. I didn't really expect Brian would take me up on my offer but he actually thanked me for nominating him If they interview me my bet is it ends up on the editing floor and that will be just fine with me. My Texas twang will be entertaining ...at my expense. The more volunteers, the better. Like Bob said: Let the producers decide. How about it Kaboom? Dan

Nothing like a little peer pressure. I have always succumbed to it. Ok, if the bb is good with it, I am too. Put my name in too Bob. There are undoubtedly better representatives but I will do anything that I can to help. No LSD yet for me either but that is apt to change any day now :o Lee Ann nominates Kaboom : Dan PS Texas is like a whole nuther country ;D

You took that well MrB. Ron is a little rough around the edges, but a very sweet man. : I was in a position that my kids were pretty well out of the house by the time my CCH started. I can't imagine having to try to hide a bad attack from children. What a predicament to find onesself in. It makes me thankful for that anyway. Dan

This may not be appropriate, but I nominate Agent Orange. We all know what he has been through. Talk about affecting someone's life :-/Â I sent a PM to him in hopes that he will volunteer to put himself out there for us. Dan

Thanks for the post CHF. I have never seen dr sewells blog nor that particular web site...lots of information. Dan

You go Bonkers! I would love to volunteer but I am camera shy. 8-) It would be cool if the show included "people I knew" Dan

The show is about the medicinal benefits of LSD and BOL but you never mention BOL again. It would be nice to be able to try it for their program. Sign me up I will be the sacrificial lamb Glad to read the post Bob. If this program is half as good and informative to the general public as the first one; it's sure to be anther giant step forward. Thanks again from all of us for being our fearless leader. Dan

hi there new guy. Welcome to the community. CHFather is a cool dude and gave you some good advice. OXYGEN FIRST. It is by far the best abortive, can help knock out a hit in just a few minutes in many cases. It must my done correctly however. At least 15lpm and an optimask. It is cheap and effective. I would caution you to not cold turkey the verapimil. Those are huge doses that your body is used to having. I would taper off dropping one pill every three or four days at least. Better safe than sorry. You will also find that the oxygen therapy works even better once you begin busting. The combination is a life saver for a lot of us. I'm sorry you had the need to find us but we are glad to have you join the party Dan

You mean eatin britches... I haven't heard the term "far out" in a long time. Haha ....back to the subject at hand, I am glad to have all of you guys as friends. I miss a few. Their absence is duly noted but I can't dwell on that. I'm thankful for what I have. Each and every one of you guys...far phuckin out indeed. Dan

Thanks for taking the time to share your success story with us. I, for one, would love to go. It would be like mixing business with pleasure Dan

My sympathies also for your Dad. It seems like it most often gets some worse before it gets better. Hang in there, you have a lot of friends here. Dan

Touché(with a little thang over the e ) CHFather Dan

...and I'm not too worried about Bonkers either, with a cool old man like you Ron. Not being queer or anything...but what are you wearing? 8-)

We are not going to go without you CHFather....and your little girl too.

Ahem...Bejeeber

I think I hear Bajeeber and the FusterClucks singing A Pirate Looks at 40 and other Buffet favorites. .......I'll have another please....rum punches all around. The trip would be a legitimate medical expenditure to boot. Ahoy

I hear Jimmy Buffet in the background...Havana daydreamin'

Right on brew. Have you'll figured out why jamming has been away? He has a secret island that I am going to visit. Thanks for the post jammin. It is under a new thread by jammin...short term memory again...I can't recall the topic title but it's the only one there 8-) 8-) Dan

This sounds excellent to me. Let's make a date. Thanks for a really encouraging post jammin. I'm betting that they have all kinds of "treats" 8-) on the island. I am overdue for some island treats 8-) and gettin pain free with someone serving me my medication rather than my knees knockin while I prepare to serve myself. Dan

Where is Jilly?
