jchange79 Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hello ch'ers it feels good to finally be aable to talk to someone who understands your pain. I was diagnosed about 2 years ago, after wrong diagnoses and wrong treatments. A little bit about me I am a Instructor at a Technical school in Illinois and my episodes always start in the middle of class and its a pain in rear if you know what I mean. I,m currently taking verapamil, imitrex (100mg), and just picked up some o2 today. If anyone knows of better medication or a cure for this HELL Please let me know!!!! :-* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Oh boy DO we know of a better preventative "medicaton" or 3, you bet! I think a good place to start would be this video talk on the busting subject by forum founder Bob Wold: http://vimeo.com/10918637 Then there's a busting guide here: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1298051886 Glad you got the O2 - that's definitely a step in a good direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHfather Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 jc, you'll get plenty of very good advice here. RC (rivea corymbosa) seeds, a source of LSA, have worked very effectively for my daughter. Since it is strongly advised that you "detox" from conventional meds for five days before starting "busting" (if you choose to bust), having a good oxygen system is critical. Let us know how yours is working for you--I presume you can get at least 15 liters per minute of O2 flow and you have a properly configured non-rebreather mask. Read this to learn more: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/O2/index.html You could order some RC seeds--which are legal to buy and possess--now, so you have them when/if you're ready to bust. If you do use them, you'll probably want to have about 200 seeds (for multiple doses). You can google to look for places that sell them--there are many. A lot of people use www.iamshaman.com I strongly recommend that you begin right now the simple, inexpensive vitamin D3 protocol that has helped many, many people quickly and also lastingly. Take about 10,000 international units per day of vitamin D3, taken with food; 2 or 3 calcium citrate tablets per day, with or without food (ideally, these tablets should also contain magnesium and zinc); and 3,000-5,000 mg per day of Omega 3 fish oil, with food. That's it, except that many people find that a glass or two of lemonade or limeade per day with meals increases the effectiveness. Many people start getting significant relief within a day or two. The levels I listed above are the "default" levels--you might wish to adjust according to your own tolerance. These are not "megadoses"--all are within standard recommended daily allowances except the D3, which is high but not inordinately so. To read a great deal more about the D3 regimen, you could wade through the following thread: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1291969416/0 Also, note that in the "Clusterbuster files" section of this board there are many files, particularly those by tommyd, detailing ins and outs of busting principles and methodology. You're starting to get control of this thing, and it will get better for you from here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
