CHFather- Thank you for that information. I will explore my options near me and give oxygen another try.

Alx - I spoke too soon. I just woke up with a pretty intense headache about an hour ago, after only falling asleep for about an hour. I was experiencing 2 a day before the bust, and they were progressively getting worse. After the bust I had about 24 hours of peace and some weak headaches the days following, so I assumed it was over. To answer your questions: according to the seller, it is 200ug. In the past, I've had success with taking much higher doses than with small ones (2-4 hits to guarantee remission). I may have to do that again.

Because I busted with LSD. That was one of the first things I mentioned in my post. What do you think "bust" means? That said, I had a low intensity headache for several hours today.

CHFather- I've tried oxygen in both an Emergency Room setting and with prescribed O2 tanks delivered to house. Ineffective for me. Your claim that "95% of people were just doing it wrong" is silly.

No, Oxygen has no effect for me.

Hello everyone. A little about me: I've been dealing with Cluster Headaches for over 15 years now. I am currently at the end of my most recent cycle, which lasted around 2 weeks. My last headache was yesterday. I busted with 1 tab of LSD about 3 days ago, but continued to have headaches after the effects wore off. I wanted to share some things that have helped me, in no specific order: 1. Stop using pillows during a cycle. I may just stop using them altogether. 2. A Massage Gun. The target areas being the nose, cheek, brow, temple, ear, base of skull, neck, and trap muscle. 3. A heating pad. 4. Zok device. 5. Sinus Plumber capcasin nasal spray. 6. Ibuprofen. 800mg 7. Nasal Turbinate Reduction via Coblation [Surgery] I previously used to rely on Imitrex 6mg subcutaneous injections, but I noticed I was having increased headaches (5 or 6 a day, instead of 1 to 3), so for the last 3 cycles I have tried to completely avoid Imitrex. Before this July 2025 cycle, my last cycle was 2 years ago, around June 2023. Between those two cycles, I insisted on having a Nasal Turbinate Reduction because I noticed that if I could somehow beat the congestion before it fully closed my nostril, the headache was less intense. Before June 2023, my last cycles were June 2021 and January 2019.

I finally got the Zok after Facebook kept advertising it to me. I wish I would have gotten it sooner. I think I busted my ear drum, but the pressure is noticeably reduced. I use the NEGATIVE PRESSURE mode.

Actually, yes. We could be having selective memory though. Anything, any period of time, seems less stressful than in the middle of a cycle.

Apparently, on the Islands they sell MM milkshakes.... Should be an great weekend.

Oral triptans were extremely uselss for me, so I was given Imitrex Nasal Spray. It worked great. Sometimes it would literally work in seconds, and it made no sense. But after a cycle or 2, something happened. It went from being 100% reliable to significantly less(maybe 70% of the time). Then I was given Imitrex INJECTIONS and THAT was heaven. Within under a minute, 99.9% of the time. Then, I went from having my completely predictable 1-per-day to up to 5 a day!!! In one cycle!!!l Maybe my 3rd or 4th cycle of Injection use. Do not put all your faith in triptans. If you're like me, I suggest you keep your body's limited Imitrex runs as a last resort. When a cycle starts, i immediately begin looking for LSD (which takes a week or so) and use as much Imitrex as needed until I find it.

Is there anyone in Thailand or anywhere in these surrounding countries? I got into a cluster cycle a week ago, and I can't take it anymore. Will be taking a trip to the islands this weekend, as I hear they have mushroom shakes. If you could offer me advice or are a local that could save me a trip: Please PM me. Merry Christmas.

Pick up that massager man. It's great. My remission periods have hit the 8 month, always at least 6 and usually on the dot as the seasons change. Never have I hit 12 months until now though.

Facebook cluster group was even worse

To clear something up: I have been having shadows for the past 6 months accompanied with the Right nostril becoming inflamed and closing up. But it never progressed to a full cluster, not even close.

Chose this board because it has the most posts. Apologies if it needs to be removed. I do not apologize for using the term "cure". I love all of you guys, and I'm sharing this completely catch-free because I believe I found it. IMMEDIATELY MANAGING "SHADOWS": Over the 10 years or so of battling bi-annual attacks, I have come to find the best therapy during a shadow(or an attack for that matter) in thr absence of medication is massaging a small area at the base of the skull and even the trap muscle of the affected side. I picked up a Brookstone Brand Shiatzu Heated Neck massager at the airport about 6 months ago. It seriously works. Every. Single. Time. LONG TERM REMISSION MANAGEMENT: I have been busting via full(not micro-doses) of psilocybin and lsd, preferring the latter. Sometimes I have experienced rebound headaches after the bust, but I attribute this to the overuse of imitrex injections I use when the attacks start and I am scouring the drug-scene for the 2 psychedelics. About a year ago I returned from Syria after serving in the war. During that time, I had been popping antibiotics and deeply compromised my immune system. I began to research my symptoms and came across parasites. As I mentioned earlier: I have been dealing with CH for about 10 years with bi-annual cycles. Since taking Candida detox, Fluke detox, and other parasite-marketed homeopathic regimens, I have been cluster-free for 1 year. I wanted to make sure a certain milestone of time had been achieved, because honestly people I have interacted with on this subject have been extremely rude and derail the entire thread with flames and accusations that I am somehow a shill. Let me be clear: I am not affiliated with any company. I am a 27 year old sufferer of CH and I am motivated by seeking others who can validate my results and to relieve this nightmare from you all, an empathetic community. I have attached both the things I mentioned in this thread, and I hope they help you as much as they have helped me. ***Note: The initial detox i did was with something called Dr. Tobias CandidaFX, BlackWalnut/Wormwood Tincture from VitaminShop and non-GMO papaya seeds. I have linked the PipingRock products I am currently taking just to seal the deal. They are much less expensive and it is a much greater volume of products. I plan on either doubling all the doses after the 1st bottles, or running 3 back-to-back. ***APPARENTLY I CANT ATTACH IMAGES*** 1) Brookstone Heated Shiatzu Neck Massager http://www.brookstone.com/pd/shiatsu-neck-and-back-massager-with-heat-automated-programs/863806p.html 2) PipingRock Candida and Probiotics (I bought 3 of each) OR CandidaFX by Dr. Tobias Align Probiotics BlackWalnut/Woodwood by Nature's Answer NON-GMO Papaya Seeds (Walmart papayas have like 10 seeds inside. Mexican store papayas have like 400)
