Sad that everything in our society is for sale. I'm just waiting for Bill Gates to buy the name rights to Washington State (Where Microsoft is). Rename it to the state of Gates, or maybe the state of Microsoft... Jeff

I do find it somewhat whimsical that the most dangerous cities in the US also have the tightest gun control. Cities with the lowest gun crime have the highest number of guns per person. Statistics aside, I'll be at the conference again this year!! Looking forward to seeing all my friends again. Jeff

I'd have to agree with Potter. If you take enough to see god, the beast just gotta leave... I'm pretty regular with about 2g now a days. Little psych effect, but not much for me. I've still never seen a tracer, but visited some pretty interesting planets at higher doses. ROFL.. PFW, Jeff

Victor, I'm a maintance doser with 1.5g to 2g every 2 months. I can vouch for the mental thereputic effects beyond just keeping the CH away. PFW, Jeff

I definitely agree on how one's moral compass changes based on need. Afterall, morals are just someone elses interpretation of right and wrong we choose to adopt (or not). My ex didn't believe in my treatment. She made it clear regularly via body language and relationship stress she created, that she had rather see me rolling around on the floor with a K10 than support me taking a dose of mushrooms. Like I said she's my ex... It was just a component of a larger issue that screamed..... We weren't personality matched. Given the opportunity I'd do most anything in my power to help someone in pain. Jeff

Ting, I enjoy reading your posts. Sometimes they so closely echo my experiences and/or feelings. I aspire to be a better person as well. The last few years I've felt so much better mentally and physically than I have most of my life. I've had a beautiful existence, if it were to end I'm ok with that, but plan on spending some of my future (Pain Free) time helping others. Either with CH or with other needs. PFW Jeff

When delivering my oxygen, the O2 supply company initially asked if I needed a mask. I asked for a non rebrather. They gave me 3. No input from insurance, doc or prescription required. Boston Doc, I echo the above comment. LOVED your presentation at the conference!! Full of accurate and informative information! I look forward to seeing you again someday. Jeff

I concur, would be great to get tickets early and cheap! Jeff

Michael, Sorry you're having a hard time, but you've found a great support group on this site!! I think most here would strongly recommend removing your phone and personal contact information. Interacting through this website is a safe and supportive venu, which also doubles to assist others that read the threads at later dates. Please post your questions, issues, and CH history so many that frequent the site have an opportunity to assist. Jeff

Zenchow, I'd agree with DiamondMaker. I think doses just past threshold (or a little more) begin to help with the depression and PTSD etc. (just my opinion) Generally speaking I certainly don't advocate that. A person needs to be completely 200% comfortable with their set and setting. Jeff

Zenchow, Does the 'M' not help with your mental state? I can definitely say it makes for significant improvement in my mental well being. PFW, Jeff

I've found a kitchen timer works great, for the O2. I usually do fall asleep, but I use multiple 'E' tanks, so they don't last very long anyway. (Which reminds me I gotta call tomorrow for an O2 resupply) Best wishes Siouxz, Jeff

Siouxz, I've not kept up with the threads the past few weeks. How much fungus did you dose with? Did you hit a threshold dose? Just curious as to why it didn't provide relief for you. PFW, Jeff

Siouz, I didn't notice above if you've tried shrooms yet? They work MUCH better than anything else I've tried. I'm in the final stages of hopefully slamming my current cycle to the dirt. Seeds worked great for my first cycle I ever tried busting, but haven't done much of anything since. If you haven't tried shrooms yet, I'd highly recommend it. They have given me my life back, and then some!! PFW, Jeff

Dan, If I didn't think a plane ride would be complete hell, I'd fly over in a second my friend Seems like finding a sitter would be easier than this. My attacks have been starting lately in the back of my head. More of a shadow that then moves to the cluster eye / temple. O2 seems to only work now if I hammer an energy drink. O2 alone is just keeping the kips from rising, but doesn't terminate the attack at all. 12:35am every night and 5am sharp. Once the 5am one comes, there's no more sleep. Jeff

All, I'm not having much luck finding anything on Taurine supplements on the site. The regular infusion of Monster energy drinks has me wanting to try just the Taurine without all the other stuff in the Monster. I just picked up a bottle from GNC today. 500mg - Recommended dose on the label says 1 to 2 pills daily with food. WebMD says 2 to 6 grams daily (4 to 12 tablets) for other various medical conditions. Has anyone had any experience taking taurine supplements morning and night? Reading how taurine is used and needed by the body looks like it's something that would only help one's body. http://www.webmd.com/vitamins-supplements/ingredientmono-1024-TAURINE.aspx?activeIngredientId=1024&activeIngredientName=TAURINE PFW, Jeff

Happy T-Day to all my friends!!!!! (checkout my "Mood"... Guess what I'm doing today?)... I'm in as good a place as I can be, kids are away... Gotta shake this cycle... Love you my friends!, Jeff

My Friends, Thanks everyone for your continued support. It does help... I know you know that, It really does. I'm almost back to eating normally. Lost 20 pounds. Getting a nightly visit from the monster. No day hits right now, which is a huge relief.... Oxygen is taking a VERY long time to help though. It's sorta scaring me that it might quit working. It's taking over an hour to get each attack to stop. Good news is the Kipps are only getting up to around 5 or 6. I'm finding at an hour what's helping is hammering the ole energy drink down. Within about 5 to 10 minutes of that and the O2 together the attack goes away. O2 alone for some reason is loosing it's effectiveness. (That really does scare the $hit out of me) I need a sitter. Mega dose this thing into the dirt and get my life back. I've been sending the boys to the ex most days / nights. Can't let them see me getting hit... I always get the crazy dreams the week or so before my cycle starts. Well the dreams just started the last few days. I have no idea if my cycle is about to deepen. Jeff

ROFL... You're cracking me up... For me, I can tell you your hypothesis dosn't fit. I've had CH for 25 years (damn that's a long time...) In a relationship / out inbetween or juggling a couple. doesn't matter. The monster comes when he comes. I did find reading your thead quite a humerous uplift though Sincere good luck with the test. Jeff

Potter's a hoot. No one says it clearer.. PFW, Jeff

My Friends, Thanks for the continued support. It's much appreciated. I quit taking the Amitriptyline HCL. (only had 2 half 10mg doses). The long list of side effects were scaring the heck out of me. Not to mention the dose was so low, I doubt it was going to do anything positive anyay. I'm still having a hard time eating. Just not hungry. Looking at food sorta makes me feel sick to my stomach. Having to force myself right now. Lost 19 pounds in the last 9 days. My clusters have gotten much better the last two days. I want to be back to where I was physically, mentally and emotionally a few weeks ago. It was a much better world then. Take care my friends, Jeff

Sure wish it worked for me, but apparently when I'm in cycle up to 20mg doesn't do a thing. Wide awake and getting hit all through the night. Glad to hear it works for others. Jeff

Vickle, I'm unsure what reason you're taking the Lamotragine, but most people on that, might need to stay on it. Also I'm unsure of the Lithium wean process. I've read once upon a time. It can be tricky to get off, but that's been years. Coming off the others could leave you in a bad spot. Sorry I'm not helping, but those are some pretty stout drugs. Do you have O2? It's the #1 recommended abortive. PFW, Jeff

Oh yea, about forgot... I freakin pigged out today.... 3 scrambled eggs, a stick of cheese and glass of milk... (hmm, all day).. That's a pig out from what I've eaten the last 5 days anyway... Water and coffee has been fine so been drinking plenty. PFW my friends, Jeff

Thanks for the input everyone. I would say you have no idea how much I appreciate it, but somehow I think you do know. I took just over half a pill last night and it really helped (along with an evening yoga class). Only two night hits and got about 5 hours sleep! Woke up feeling pretty good this morning. I'm going to take another half tonight and see how things are. Maybe I can stop there? Ricardo, Your knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I'll definitely be VERY careful when starting my busting doses. I'll post results again tomorrow. PFW my friends, Jeff
