have you detoxed? does o2 help?

i second that

thats great!

i love that kinda stuff denny. i've often thought of guys like gram parsons as pioneers. heres some other stuff i like its hard to find other people that identify with this kinda stuff.

12 string

sorry i could make it leslie. that would have been cool. a ch in 100 degree blazing hot sun really sucks too

man that covers just about everything you eat lol. one thing thats been discussed before is keeping a journal of what you ate and the time. then document the times of the attacks and try to find some kind on connection.

nitrates have been known to be a trigger. maybe theres some kind of sausage in the sauce?

sneezing is a trigger for me. one of our old timers recomened non generic 4-way nasal spray. he told me it works as an abortive as well. hope that helps

see there. anytime we spent on this board is time well invested. this is great news! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

ive had some frozen for a year (pre-dried) and they where good. not a bad idea to keep some in stock even if you think you'll never need them again

absolutely not. you can rent a bottle of o2 from airgas or linde. i get mine from tractors supply. i have never used a script to get o2.

without these message boards we would at the mercy of our doctors. doctors are good but a doctor doesn't the time to answer every little question you may have about this ailment. without the chance to interact with all of you i would not have nearly as much information as i do now nor would i have anyone that identifies with what i go through day to day. even though i haven't had an attack in over 2 1/2 years i am certain i will in the future. i thoroughly enjoy getting on these message boards and exchanging ideas and i thoroughly enjoy the company we all share here. a sincere thanks to all of you

many of us are heavy smokers and we use o2. keep this in mind about o2. o2 in and of itself is not flammable. it accelerates the burn. if you leave your o2 on and lay it on your sweater then your sweater turns into a flare. simply educate yourself on the characteristics of o2. its safe to use if you smoke just dont light up if your clothes are full of o2

jeff you rent an o2 bottle from a local welding supplier. you dont have to buy a bottle. i get mine from tractors supply. here is some o2 info for you http://www.clusterheadaches.com/O2/index.html many of the things you need to start using o2 are available without a script. use a 15 lpm reg or higher. i use 25 lpm. DONT LET YOUR DOCTORS KEEP YOU FROM GETTING O2. your the one in pain

keep in mind after you bust you may get hit very hard with an attack but busting does have lasting effects over meds. i strongly recommend learning to use o2 to get you through the after effects. o2 absolutely is the shit but it has to be done correctly for best results. after you dose i would not use the meds you were prescribed for CH. this will counteract the effects. please feel free to post any questions you have. clusterbusting is a wonderful healthy alternative to prescription meds. welcome jeff and please keep us posted

i dont think they give you enough options of the benefits. it seems that the results would be skewed

i took that pic of me in front of the truck when i was coming back from LA in route to denver. it was out in the middle of utah thanksgiving day. heres anther picture i took that day the truck was equipped with a peoplenet computer that showed your speed and fuel consumption. i rolled off one of those hills @ 103 mph according to the peoplenet computer. in the good ole days of mechanical speedometers the needle would come on around passed the face numbers and end up pointing to the numbers on the odometer. the electronic speedo's would stop a little bit passed what they where registered for. out in the desert on those long wide swooping hills 103 doesn't feel any differant than 70 or 80. that truck was allot of fun to drive and pulling a stepdeck it stuck to the ground like a magnet 8-)

if you took rt 80 off the big loop on the dallas side and took it east to collins rd and went south before you go over the ig bridge that goes over the rr tracks look to the left and youll see a bunch of heavy equipment and semi trucks parked there. i used ti drive a truck for those guys. S&H pacer out of mesquite. now they are called S&H universal. heres some pics of the truck i drove heres a pic of one of their handsome drivers with his truck lol

my family doctor told me it was possible that i may have clusterheadaches when i was younger but never officially said alright this is what you have. as far as pussies go i'm absolutely terrified of getting into a cycle. the hardest thing about going 4 to 6 years between cycles is that your never really prepared when they come. the best thing about it is having others like me or you to compare stories and strategies. i don't try to steer people away from going to see a doctor but for me living 60 miles from a nuero it just easier for me to deal with this without fighting insurance companies or experimenting with pharmaceutical meds.

wow. thanks for posting this. thats interesting

i've never been diagnosed period. 10 years ago i was going thru the motions and i got fired from my job (ch related) and lost my insurance before i could follow thru with it. last cycle insurance was $100 a week so i treated myself. now i have insurance and i dont need to go to the doc for ch. these message boards have been most helpful. dave post anything yo want. your best line of defense is to educate yourself. welcome

i dunno man. i dont feel that i have had to edit myself on these message boards. we all know how bad the effects of prescription drugs can be. at best i can post links to this site or make suggestions about psilocybin. worst thing that has ever happened to me is i got ignored. thats no big deal. i would hate to see any kind of a rivalry between the 2 sites agentorange if somebody shot down your ideas about clusterbusting on CH.com then thats ignorant. however its NOT the general opinion of its members. not by far. if i see something you posted over there ill back you up
