tingeling

We hope we gonna make it. Economy has been not as expected this year, and i had lawyer to pay as well. Gonna try save enough. It`s crazy, this country produces allot of electricity. We export almost everything and we got to pay around 300$ and more for one month of reg use of electricity, in a flat that`s less than 100 sqm. This is in the warmer part of the country. Crazy. And now the prices aren't high yet, it gonna go up with about 30% during winter. Gonna be hard to save money, but gonna make a budget, including CBC in it (BTW, have no clue about electricity prices in other parts of the world... Maybe this isn`t high in comparison)

Yes, they do good There are other types, but this is more than enough in my opinion!! (my ex brother in law are a suspencion guy, they got real spike mats)

LOL, it`s not torture ;D If you fall asleep on it, that`s worse though, you kind of stuck to it then There are different types to treat different parts of the body. And you can also stand on it with your feet's.. That hurts a bit actually. Here we can buy them in many health stores and stores like that. They cost around 30$ and up. I had a neck so stiff i couldn`t turn my head, twenty min on the spike mat and feel like a new person, at least a new neck. To trigger our bodies treat and help itself, i believe in that. High cycle but i do very well, i suffered before, this is not suffering, not at all. In my next life i wish to be a house cat I spendt too much money on my daughters Christmas calendar. As a child i wished i had a calendar every year, my friends had gift calendars, it seemed magic to me. So now i want it to be magic, and it is to both of us. And i`m so overdoing it. But i allow myself, it`s just so much joy in it. Was up late yeasterday finished it, great feeling Money and different things always seem to solve, in one way or another. I never dared to trust in it before, but for the past two years it solved when i let go of it in my head. Go find torture folks!! (Or maybe we don`t have to look for it? ) LOL ;D

I do not have anxiety, but i got pretty sick using Vit D. Actually i get very sick using Melatonin, B Vit complex(not b2 seperatly), Omerga 3, Magnesium and you name it. I get physical illness. Before, being in a constanc high cycle i was badly depressed. Being in high cycle now, i can feel badly depressed, almost over night. The feeling of being very alone, like i`m a empty shell, going around with my secret box inside me. This dark box, filled with all the emotions CH can give. It is a very strange feeling, like i`m on the outside with my secret. As with you, i cannot take any antidepressants. What i use is bright light, or day light or what it`s called. Along with the rught type of foods, this really helps me. I don`t know if you tried this, but if you haven`t and want to try, just remember the effect isn`t right away, but when it helps, it can really change allot. I don`t know if you maybe should try a different color in the light, but the white light helped me. I know there`s different colors to treat different conditions. But i haven`t tried any of them. And again the spike mat is really a good thing as well Can`t tell anything about the antidepressant you ask about, just wanted to mention what you could try, if you decid not to start them or something like that Hope you do better today, wish you could come to my house and share a meal with me

It is called post dose hits. The days after you can worse, or better, but i get worse for around 2-5 days. Then better And yes, it can be harder than usual. What i have experienced at least. I did not drink the sludge, and i didn`t get nausea or anything at all. Others say you have to drink the sludge, for me it worked out fine without. But i combined shrooms and seeds in a combo.

LSA rises your BP, for me it rises it more than the mushrooms do. It is (Can`t tell if this is a fact) one of the most powerful constrictors, from the information i read. I busted with mushrooms, LSD and LSA. What clearly was the most effective constrictor to me at least, was LSA. The other things didn`t get near. So i guess that means this is also what would increase BP most. Totally agree what Ron says as well. I have also tried allot of pain meds, and it just didn`t work. Including weed, which made me worse, different pain meds also made me allot worse. The pain meds need to meet the right receptors to give pain relief. Many pain meds give relief to many different conditions, but it seems to me CH is one bad MF! who is not easily reach!!

Isn`t it funny how unbelievably irritating it can be during CH sometimes, when you have your meds in another floor, or even if the phone rings or whatever? i can really loose my temper and curse everything inside me sometimes...... You sums it here yes ;D

I Know what you mean. When i got relief from this treatment, after awhile i got this "regular" HA. It was like oh, what`s this? Do i have a headache?! Very surprised for some reason ;D On the opposite side i get this burning migraine like HA. My way now is i do not treat with anything else than water, o2, ice, exercise and sometimes Red Bull. Oh, and mushrooms ;D I do not us anything for the neckpains as well. Holding on for a little week it will be gone usualy. No rebounds, no side effects. I tink i had it with those chemicals for awhile.

Thank you I`m gonna find that article. I wake up every morning around 5. It doesn`t hurt me, it`s just annoying. when in high cycle, it can be a little worse. Then i also wake up every sec hour during night. But it`s not pain like it used to be. So it`s ok. I broke all the symptoms off for some weeks as well, with the seeds. I gonna try grow my own RC plants, as i can`t get them that easily. Was thinking that with age it may not be that healthy taking those RC seeds once a month or at least regularly. As it constricts the way it does. Then i know it can improve even more in the future. And maybe it can be a good thing to move to a place nearer equator as an old lady. So people can stay CCH for the rest of their life then?

I think it was all worth it, life can`t feel this good if you haven`t seen the other side

I like those words!! Happy Thanksgiving Happy for you When youre painfree, doesn`t everything feel easy? I feel it that way, almost unreal.

I was thinking of people that have been chronics for decades. So i guess i wonder if i`m gonna stay chronic for the rest of my life. So you`re telling me your old?

OMG... How did i learn how to open doors and windows. loool ;D I just meltet my o2 things.... OOOps.... Damn!!

Hi I live well with this. I bust around once a month. Now it`s high cycle, without the seeds i have to bust two. Maybe some noise in between, but that`s not important. i do not suffer and i live well. Been chronic for seven years now. I know it`s not a long time. Sometimes i just wonder about the chronic thing. So chronic old timers, what`s your experiences after starting this treatment? How many years chronic? Did it leave anyone completely, or left for years? I get this thought once in awhile, that maybe it will leave completely one day. It would have been nice. and certainly a surprise. PFW from me

If you use a small amount of alcohol with the seeds, doesn`t that dilute the blood vessels, so they kind of work "against" each other? I experienced a big difference, soaking the seeds with and without alchohol. CHFather, i read your daughter was very slim and you was concerned about body weight and amount of seeds. I`m 155 cm and 45 kg. I been dosing with 50 RC seeds and mushrooms together. I did not have any bad effect. My boyfriend is 180 and 90 kg, he took less than me and had a much stronger experience. Wich he also had every time he tried any hallucinogenics. But with the alcohol in the mix, my bloodvessels didn`t constrict near as much as without. I used one shotglass preparing four doses.

In this situation, OMG, happy no one can read my thoughts. But you can`t really use any time trying to talk and make people leave etc etc. You dealt with that sit so good!! My boyfriend says i kill him with my CH face if he asks and suggests stuff sometimes, while using O2. You made something good and useful out from the situation

Hi Those medicines are not familiar to me. You don`t think the other attacks got killed or covered by the other meds you used to take? Do you use your o2 with a nose tube for CH, or something else? Sorry i ask, but i don`t think you can get relief from an attack, with the nose tube....

Ok. I just heard of it, never tried it. I been wondering how this kind of medicines work on CH.

Gabantin is the same as Neurontin, isn`t it?

What kind of meds?

And the same to you Lee Ann

Most of us have curtains in our homes. Blinds and similar things have been more popular recent years, but they serve the same purpose. Curtains follow us all life. I guess most have some memories about curtains. When we come close to Christmas, it is time for Christmas curtains f ex. It`s like they can make a statement. Moving out for the first time, we often buy some cheap curtains, because we`re not gonna stay the rest of our lives in that often rented apartment, so we don`t want to invest that much, into something we may not need later. But you will get some, because you need them. Buying your first apartment or house, your often asked what kind of curtains you gonna have in your living room. This is the time we invest more. Now is the time for buying the curtains, that are supposed to follow us a long time. The type we take down and wash, put away, but only temporarily. Because it`s our best and finest curtains. They will blend in when celebrating birthdays etc etc, they fit every situation in the house. Unlike furniture's, they stay the way they are. We do not color them as we paint furniture's a different color, we cannot give them another kind of fabric etc etc. All we can do is wash them, we have to like them the way they are. Why do we need curtains? What kind of curtains do we choose? There are curtains that are only for decoration, they have no practical function. Some are light weighted and will flutter around if you open the window, translucent texture that fills your living room with light. But it doesn`t give you privacy, or help you much, as you can see right trough them. And after awhile, they can start being a little annoying, when you get sun into your eyes when you want to relax and watch TV. Or the times you need to take a quick run into your living room, getting something you need, and all the neighbours get to see glimpse of you running around half naked in your house. So you get blinds you can have on the inside, they will give you privacy, and you can keep the other ones. But the blinds, they need allot more work. you need to dust in between, and that is just irritating. So now you got yourself two things that doesn`t give you what you wanted the first place. In the end, you end up with getting proper curtains. they are double woven, they will keep the sun from blinding your eyes. But at the same time, they will let the sun in, if you want them to. They are reliable, good quality curtains. You may have them for life, if that is what you wish. It`s the same way with friends. They have many of the same functions. A friend can let the sun into your life, or they can cast a shadow over it. Some fit well into our lives in shorter periods. Other friendships just slips away, don`t know exactly why, but we don`t bother to do much about it. And some we have for life. A good friend is something special. Often, these are the friends we forget about, that we take for granted and don`t show appreciation to as we should. A good friend can even tolerate being "put away" for awhile. And after a little "wash up", shake off some dust, things get back to normal. Then all of the sudden, it strikes you how beautiful they are. They just been around for so long, that you got used to them. As with most things in life and life in general, too much of one thing can make you blind for something else. Good or bad. Katie Melua once gave an answer to a question that really made an impression on me. She was asked what her success and what follows with that, especially all that money, did for her. Her answer was "Well, when i was 9, we got electricity in our house. With that came hot water. that made a much bigger impact to my life than money and success do for me now". I have a friend, i told about her another time. She been trough many years with difficulties. Thinking trough those years, i realized one thing. Some people willingly take part in pointing at another persons problems, talk about it and give theyre personal opinion. As with my friend. But they do not stay trough the hole process, when she needed help, and afterwards when being helped. So it`s getting like point and stare, then leave. Makes me wonder. My friend is getting well now, and our friendship is now even more special than before. I`m very grateful to Clusterbusters, and i appreciate the people in here so much. I think for many of us, it makes us feel safe and secure to have this place where we meet. It certainly makes a big difference to my life. Nothing ever changed my life this much, except from when i got my daughter. Thank you all for being here Hug from me (Sorry, extremely long. I know...)

Hi I live very far away, i`m sorry.... But, do you use ice packs, drink lots of ice water at the moment you feel an oncoming attack? Also try drink Taurin drinks as well. Get up the same time every morning, so you don`t mess with your sleep rythm, this can make allot of difference. don`t take naps during daytime, and don`t slumber when waking up. Keep your diet free from your known triggers. and keep your blood sugar balanced. Most likely you know all this, but i can`t do much from whee i live far away in the cold north, except from try to give some advice..... Hopefully you got some help now from someone living near you. How are you at the moment? PFW from me

I think mouthpiece works best. Regular masks are useless, compared to non-rebreather masks or a mouthpiece. It gives such big differences, you wouldn`t believe it.

Sorry for your rough time. but this can be a good sign. Crazy as it may seem. All i can do is share what i experienced myself, and that was worse before much much better, then a little worsening, and then all of the sudden gone. This was a progress that lasted over half a year. I was cronich. first it treated the left side, where i had most of the attacks last years, then after being better awhile, it started the same process on the left side. Then i had something going on back and forth a little while both sides, all of the sudden it was gone. Even the symptoms. During this process, even if it got bad for awhile, i did not suffer the way i did before starting this treatment. I did not feel as depressed as i usually would, i was back on my feets, even if i was experiencing pain. And overall better way of dealing with it. I learned that patience is my best friend when it coems to results with this treatment. Hang in there, you gonna make it, and i guess you will be very suprised after awhile Keep it up!!
