markd Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I have suffered from CH for 14 years. This cycle is the worst and longest - so far 15 weeks!!! I am at the end of my rope. I have been on high (120 mg) slowly tapered prednisone which has worked in the past along with verapimil, trileptal, lithium, and triptans. NOTHING is working this time!!! I am beyond desparate to break the cycle. I have been to a major NYC hospital and 3 different neurologists and cannot get help. I realize this is a dicey question but I want to try mushrooms to break the cycle before i spiral further into depression. I do not have the time or emotional/mental ability to order and grown my own. in fact, I am profoundly disabled at this point due to the constant pain/dread of pain. Can someone please help me obtain the mushrooms so that I can break my cyccle and live again. At that point, I hope to be capable of living and fending for myself. I cannot stress my desparation enough. please help me. thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiny Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 markd, Do you have O2? You don't mention it. O2 and an energy drink are the best abortives that I am aware of. spiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-man Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 markd - you're right - shrooms take too long. HBWR killed my last two cycles and I'm using them now for this current one (after 7 years of freedom). I'm sure there is plenty of info on here about it but after so long away I'm not sure what I'm allowed to relate. The old boys here can tell you. But it's quick to get and easy to process and far less intense than shrooms. Please try it - it saved my pore ol wrinkled butt. MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHfather Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 markd, what spiny said -- O2 is essential and energy drinks can help a lot -- and what g-man said: if you're going to try a psychedelic and you can't confidently/safely get shrooms or lsd, you can try seeds, either HBWR (Hawaiian Baby Woodrose) or RC (rivea corymbosa). You will have to be off the triptans (are these injections you're using, or pills?-- injections are typically much more effective), off the pred, and off the lithium for at least five days. the verap isn't so great, either, but many people do have decent results busting while taking moderate levels of verapamil. those are big steps, and can take some time, because you might have to taper off the lithium. if you decide that you want to try the seeds, you could order them now so you're ready when you're "detoxed" from the meds. some people prefer the rivea corymbosa because it's easier to prepare; some people think HBWR is more potent. Since busting often requires three or more dosings (spaced five days apart), you might want to have at least 200 RC seeds and/or at least 12 HBWR seeds. A lot of people feel that the quality is good at www.tranceplants.net. They're in Canada, but no so far from you in NJ, so delivery time might not be a problem. Some people like www.shamansgarden.com. You should read the numbered files at the top of the ClusterBuster Files section of this board, particularly files #3, 1, and 5. Of course, check back here if you decide to proceed (or if you need further advice in deciding whether to proceed). You might want to try some other things (in addition to O2, which is essential, and energy drinks, which can help if you drink a strong one at the start of an attack). For example, the D3 regimen has helped a lot of folks, sometimes quite quickly: https://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1314134804. Some people find that melatonin at bedtime has some good effects on nighttime attacks: start with maybe 9 mg and increase in 3 mg increments. Some people go as high as 20 - 30 mg. You can apparently obtain and imbibe mushrooms legally in the British Virgin Islands, which isn't such a long trip from Newark or NYC (but could be awful if flying is a trigger for you as it is for many people). Here's a thread about that: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1297450426/17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bejeeber Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 You can apparently obtain and imbibe mushrooms legally in the British Virgin Islands Yep, and along those lines, it's been mentioned here just recently that it can be possible to order psilocybin containing magic truffles from the Netherlands and have them sent to the US, the legal risks of which are unknown to me. I do know they're legal in the Netherlands. If I find out about specific truffle shops to order from, I'll post the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
