Dang girl. You made me feel much better. I thought I had it bad. I have told my story hoping to make others feel better about the fact that they..."Only had clusters". My heart goes out to you. You are brave to share your history with us. It may help someone else, ya never know. Dan

I know what you are saying CHFather. I often find myself asking...what happened to...so and so. Oh well, I just have to hope that they are better. It seems that some people,once they get "fixed up" , don't want to even think about cluster headaches much less chat about them all the time. I understand their way of thinking, I just see things differently. Dan

The optimask is a must. A definate game-changer

Thank you bejeeber

You should "bother" I have "short term memory problems"...do you have an 02ptimask? I don't see that that has been addressed. Probably me, but just want to make sure. Dam

you bring up a good point Ron. Sometimes we say things that can be taken the wrong way. I think I am guilty in that department. If no one points these things out we may be breaking the first creed. Do no harm. Peace out and remember ...never trust a fart. Dan

Like my dad used to tell me..."if you don't know what you're doing, act like you do!" Good advise from the bb. Just act like you've been to a hundred oxygen supply stores. No thang. You will probably want to rent or lease a tank. Mine is 40 bucks a year and $10 refills. I think it's an M tank. Very big but manageable as far as getting it in the house and all. Dan

...that's exactly the quote I remember. Yea you have helped me and I appreciate it. I do actually get to relax these daysXXXXX jinx. Relaxing is underrated for sure. Ahhhhh Dan

The first thing that you will notice is a change in headache patterns.. The attacks may get worse for a short while but a change in patterns is what to look for. Have him take another dose in five days if he is still having regular attacks. He is lucky to have you looking out for him. Let us know the progress. Dan Hey Denny, was this your thread??

Hey the bb. Aren't you the one that said "never relax"? Haha I remember that one...it scared me. ;D Dan

Yep, about 20 minutes for me too. Timing is everything they say. If he hasn't felt anything in an hour you might have some weak shrooms. Were they cracker dry? Dan

Hey Wendy...back to O2. If one doctor won't prescribe high flow oxygen, the next doctor will. Do a little research and print some literature documenting oxygen therapy. If you will do that and kindly present it to a rational doctor, he should have no problem in prescribing it. I actually got an oxygen script from both my neueo and family doctor. Just let them know that you know what you are talking about. I get my medical oxygen from a ...welding and "air" place called west-air. They wanted my prescription but fill the big O2 bottle for under $10.00. That is the deal of the century. Mushrooms can wait but getting your husband the correct oxygen set up is critical. Like right now. It will save him and when he sees how well it works he will have some peace of mind knowing "it's there". It will also work even better once he begins busting it with mushrooms However you do it it is very important that he use at least 15lpm with an opti2mask. He will love you long time Dan

Hi Wendy, GO PACKERS Sorry to read about your husband. I am 53 also. I wish I were in Colorado and maybe be more helpful. I was in your husbands shoes for the superbowl for years. I am sorry he is suffering. Mushrooms have dramatically changed things for me. NO JINX Today I sit here pain free and not terrified of my next attack. I still get attacks and have some bad times but they are few and far between. Oxygen helps big time but the combination is a life saver. If he hasn't tried mushrooms I would highly recommend giving them a try. It will also possibly help with the depression and sense of hopelessness and might take his attacks away after one or two doses. Dan

Hi Jeffrey. You have a bunch of peeps pulling for you. The shrooms will in all likelihood change your life as they have mine. Hang in there. You seem like you have your "stuff"together. Attitude plays a big part in healing. Peace Dan

I am never too old to learn. I have two ears and one mouth. I will endeavor to play the odds. Peace in the valley. Like mama used to tell me: if you don't have anything nice to say keep your damn mouth shut...or something like that ;D Dan

What goes around comes around. The good doctor may get what's coming to him for treating you so unfairly. I am sorry that that happened to you but I am encouraged that you haven't had an attack in years due to maintenance dosing. Dan

I tried to delete my posts but there is no delete button for some reason. Can anyone help me. Dan

Oops :-[ Very sorry.

Hey Chris, all is good. I think I have you beat when it comes to offending people. :-/ Your input is always appreciated Dan

I act like a teen most of the time. Tell the sidekick that I will hang out with her. Dan

Mushrooms and oxygen are the best bet at kicking it's ass. Dan

You say you've done your research but you didn't mention oxygen. Do you use o2 with an opti2mask? If not go to the menu bar on the left of this page and go to oxygen. The correct set up is imperative and is a life saver for most if not all of us. Mushrooms and oxygen will give you your life back...the combination has saved me for sure. Take care and welcome to the board of the damned Dan

Thanks drew,  Damnit...Brew. Ha the first was a typo....damned iPad takes over for me sometime. I'm with you all the way. Anti social to the extreme for me. Shit I can't even look at myself in the mirror. Asshat? Not sure what that is but I like it. Dan Ps FunGuy called me Dave so many times I just started answering to it. I don't guess I know any ass hats named Dave so it's all good. Dan

hey new guy.there is a delete button if you want to delete a post. Allyoop had to point that out to me...thanks Ally. I don't think anyone has mentioned "triggers". Staw away from alcohol for sure...there are many other triggers that vary from person to person. Alcohol is a trigger for everybody here except for Bonkers son Michael. I think in a small way we are jealous of Michael, but in other ways we are not Dan

Hi and welcome to the board of the damned ...that's my favorite opener. You must get a non rebreather mask for your oxygen set up. Go to menu on the lefthand side of the screen and go to oxygen page. An opti2mask is the only way to go. We are all here to help you any way we can. Dan
