CH since 2002. Tried lots of stuff. Cycle started two weeks ago and I have found a way to manage it for me. Finally, after 14 years of misery and 7 weeks out of year! Try this and it will be manageable. Get back to me with results.
2am every morning the pain comes.
Now, before I go to sleep around midnight, I snort around 7-9mg of Sumatriptan. If the beast wakes me up I snort about 5mg more. Snorting makes the drug act fast. My headaches are less than 15 minutes if I use this method. One 100mg pill to last about 8-10 days.
Swallowing pills takes too long to act. Nasal sprays and injections are too expensive without enough days supply.
I will take mushrooms to interupt the cycle which almost always works. Take 1.5-2 grams of psylocibin mushrooms into tea. This prevents hallucinations which I don't deal with well.
As always, lots of water!
