Still in cycle. Ugh. So, after messaging, we'll say their name is KOOL K, (dont know how they would feel if I blasted their business on here), I feel I should mention this in hopes that maybe it might help someone. When I ordered my HBW seeds I ordered the cheap ones, Ghana strain. KOOL K has been taking the Hawaiin strain. KOOL K is also taking something similar to Prozac but has had sucess busting almost completely. So, to sum it up looks like you get what you pay for as far as the HWB seeds are concerned. I ordered the Hawaii strain today. Even the cheapies busted my pain in half but more would be better so I can sleep! Much love for you all! Rock

Lucidity, I totally agree. I think women are not getting diagnosed correctly. My story, quick version; 20 yrs old my roomates take me to ER, cuz I am scaring the shit out of them. I dont know whats wrong with me, most excrutiating (sp?) pain I ever felt in my life, keeps happening at night. ER gives me codine and sends me out the door, no explanation. Early 20's pain is back, see a doctor, says I have migraines, gives me those caffiene, tylenol pills, cant remember what they're called. Move to Texas, get pregnant, its back, didnt even go to doctor cuz I didnt want to jack up my kid. Late 20's, got to another doctor, he xrays my head and says migraines, give me Maxalt. Move back to Kansas, i'm in my early 30's saw another doctor, migraines, gives me Imitrex. Shrink gives me Topomax when I tell her about the headaches. (needless to say, the drugs arent always working, usually get imune to them and quick) Late 30's, try another doctor (don't have a family physician) he informs me I do not have migraines. I have cluster headaches. Said I have every classic example, prescribes oxygen and prednisone. (wrong mask but correct diagnosis) Of course, I never heard of it. Went home started reading and to this day I am still pissed off cuz for 17 years I suffered and was being treated for migraines. I wish it was migraines! Anyways, feels good to vent. Oh, i'm a white girl (german, irish, english decent, basically a mutt) hazel eyes, brown hair, smoke, casual drinker, uh oh and overweight. Weight probabaly doesnt have anything to do with it cuz at 20 yrs of age I was very thin. David, there are no stupid questions when it comes to CH. Raquel (Rock)

Thats awesome. A whole night of sleep. I miss sleep. But, I am not having 10's so life aint so bad. Here's to a good dosing Friday! Good luck Carole!!!

I didnt see your post on the other board but I can say I see better options on this site. You shouldnt feel like crap by offering "options." I think some of those rx drugs make things worse, hell, i'm thankful I didnt go that route for too long, some people think they became chronic with some of that man made crap. Too bad people are so closed minded I think this site could really help alot of people like it helped me just a month ago.

Carole, I have been taking my seeds in the middle of the night. I wake up with my usual 2-4 ch an hour or two after I go to bed. This way I know my stomach is pretty empty. I do add a squirt of lemon juice to make it taste better. I wouldnt do this if your pain level is higher cuz you might barf it up. Anyways, like a said before, I am sure my Prozac is blocking the full effects of the seeds but I havent had any pain higher than a 4 since my second dose of seeds. Before, was getting hit hard. I've been taking them once a wk. Anyways, just some input. I dont feel anything from the seeds. I just fight off the ch and go back to sleep. Donnie, your comment on dookie, well, your a mess! lol Raquel

I think I would eat dookie if it made it go away! lol

Yes, Red Bull. I use generic from Aldi's and it works. For me it helps knocks out 3's & 4's. I get out of bed grab the Red Bull and my ice pack out of the freezer. I put it on my eye and then on my neck, temple, wherever it helps. If that doesent work I alternate and then begin using heat. Go back and forth. I use ginger during the day. Its gross in water, its not bad if you put it in Ginger Ale. Take 1 tsp. I just use the kind that was in my seasonings, you know, that I use for cooking. These are inexpensive things you can try. So happy to hear you got a lil sleep! So grateful for this message board, we are not alone.

Carole, I couldnt get the oxy either. Same reason. Please don't be scared of the seeds. I didnt get "high" off them at all. I know its scary cuz its the "unknown". I also didnt do enough seeds the first time, so dont be shy about it, nothing cud be as bad as these damn things. Poor womens oxygen: excersice, like jumping jacks, running in the living rm. When that quits working try sticking your head in the freezer and breathe like your hyperventilating. sp? These are not the best way but its free. Please keep us updated on your situation. Keep fighting and kick its a$$!

Oh, and Carole. My daughter is 14 and its just me and her. Just like your daughter she has to witness this, I am so sorry. When a high level attack is over, after I say all the crazy crap, when I am sane again, I reassure her that I will keep fighting so I can be with her. Havent said any crazy crap for over two weeks now cuz the pain stays around 2 - 4. There is hope thanks to this message board!

Carole, you have come to the right place! I am a newbie here as well. I tried seeds for the first time a few weeks ago, a different kind, but thats not important, RC seeds seem to be the better option now that I have researched further. The people on here are very well informed and super awesome. The seeds helped me and would probably be even more sucessful if i werent on Prozac. I detoxed from my Topomax and it didnt get too horrible, you can do it too! Anyways, I am so glad you ordered seeds! The seeds lowered the pain level of my CH's. Hang in there!

Sandy, Our kids will understand, they've seen it first hand. I am doing research now on the shrooms for future cycles. My daughter is like "Mom, if it makes them better, so what." Its all good Sandy.

its only an icepick in your eye, just take an asprin! still laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uh yeah david, just smoke the j and take a couple of asprins, that'll fix it. lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lmao! i needed a good laugh. they absolutely dont get it. I tell them to google it, they never do, not even my own mom! my friends and family think I am rude cuz I cant go to any social functions right now. like I wud be the life of the party right now anyway! i try to go 'underground' cuz i am tired of hearing all that crap you've mentioned above, plus, i dont want to have a full blown ch in front of them cuz they will commit me to a looney bin. my kid is the only one who has witnessed, besides my ex and he used to just get pissed off cuz it interuppted his sleep. my kid is my angel. helps her mommy and it sux cause she probably freaks out since i am the only parent she really has. sorry to get so serious. so, I am gonna borrow the line, "No, I havent tried anything." (as i am thinking: only 100 diff pills, weed, seeds, ice, heat, humidifier, magnesium, red bull, melatonin, feverfew, oxygen, ginger, avoiding alcohol, my head in the freezer, snorting habanero pepper juice...) ;D

My cycle is almost over, I think. Just another week or so. I know, i'm stubborn. I forgot to take a tank back once and it was like 500 bucks. Plus, it didnt work, prob cuz I had the wrong mask. I will make it, this site has helped me! You all have helped me! Just by replying to me on this board. I remember when I was told these were friggin migraines, so I went about it all wrong for 15 years. I will beat this cycle, beat it back to the hell it came from! Actually, I hope to beat it into a place that doesnt exist!

and Darrin aka Texas Cluster, you must be a VERY strong person, you are me hero! i can't even comprehend having 10 to 12 a day! JEBUS! I average about three a night and shadows during the day sometimes. one thing a have noticed, usually, I start having them in the daytime towards the end of my cycle and it has only happened once so far. i take ginger for the day shadows if they start acting up. ginger does nothing for the nightime tho.

thx so much everyone! its been a rough few wks. i didnt get the oxygen, i did however stick my head in the freezer, did the seeds, found out that the prozac blocks them. HOWEVER, i think, after doing 10 seeds, it must have got in my system a tad because the the headaches have been staying below level 5. i have read so much on here, the faq page is wonderful!!! this website has really helped me get thru this cycle with less pain. drinking red bull and ice and heat works wonders if i catch it early. i plan on growing my treatment for future cycles, a little apprehensive, never done that but shrooms will not be blocked by the prozac. why suffer, right?! i am so thankful for this website and the awesome beings on here! i have hope now!!!

woo hoo! think i will be following in your footsteps soon! my prozac blocks the seeds. however i think they got in my system a tad cuz the headaches are down a few levels. cheers and i hope you are sucessful!

I would actually like to see more info on the OCD treatments this way. I am scared to quit taking the Prozac because well, its pretty personal, but I am just plain crazy without it and I am still raising my daughter. Lets just say I had to have a lot of cognitive therapy. - Bye, bye Topomax. Hello Red Bull. Thanks so much for responding and heres hoping no "10" tonight.

wow! thx so much for all the info! everyone here is so awesome!!!

Thanks. No oxy (no insurance), got the red bull ready tho! Havent tried that yet. I will do the usual which is running and jumping (aka acting like a crazy person) for oxygen. Thanks for responding.

interesting, didnt think it made that much difference.

Brand new here and of course I am in cycle right now. I ordered some Hawaiin seeds and they will be here today. Never have tried this but I am desperate. Now I am reading about "detox". I take Topomax 50mg a day, not that they do much good. I also take Prozac for OCD, 20mg a day, oh and Magnesim, 400mg a day. Do I really need to detox for five days for the seeds to take effect? After last night, I dont think I can wait five days, honestly, I was ready to do myself in. Also, how many seeds do I take? How do I do it? I appriciate any responses and thank you in advance for taking the time to write back.
