ftblfrk Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Just coming off my first bout in about 4 or 5 years. Don't know if I can do this again. I'm 44 years old and have been fighting the devil in my head since I was 18. The last 4 or 5 years have been wonderful without the bouts. I hope this was just a freak visit. I don't think I can do the 2 - 3 bouts a day again. It takes a strong person to fight these damn things. Just don't think I have the will to do it again. Treatments are ridiculously expensive. I feel for all of you going through this. It can be tasking on your family and friends. Good luck to all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhedges Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Do you have O2? Read about it here then PM me or better yet, e-mail me at jhedges@matteicomp.com if you want to get set up by tomorrow...No cost for first timers. And it's the only thing that will likely abort yor HA in minutes if used properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alleyoop Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Treatments are ridiculously expensive. Not the ones we advocate. Read, read, read. Then ask questions. bobb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidj Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 There is help here in many forms, talk to Jay about 02, he can help. Read the posts about Alt therapy, ask questions. There are those of us here who get 8 to 10 a day for a year plus at a time and we have mangaed to either break the cycle or reduce it by 90 plus %. Please don't despair, there is help here.

raquelinkansas Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 So sorry to hear the bastard is back. I know treatment can be expensive. Lots of us dont have insurance, and even if you do, it doesnt always cover what we need it too. There are alternatives. There's lots of information on here regarding how to bust your cycle and alternatives for oxygen and the proper way to use 02. I dont have insurance but I just made it thru a cycle, almost done, and this board helped me lots! You can do it! Keep an open mind. To me, this message board has more info than 99.9% of the doctors we see. Check out the busting board. Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carole Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 FTB, Sorry you have to be here and also grateful that you are. There is so much information and support...read read read. I too am episodic and I do believe my cycle is almost over and it hasn't been quite a month. I hadn't had a CH in 6 years. Oxygen is a must for aborting these nasty things. CB is about care concern support and alternatives. I happen to try an alternative and it is working well. RC seeds. A lot to explain. Read ask question and don't be afraid to let it all out here. Everyone is great. Take care Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad6string Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hey guy, First thing is to get the oxygen. Read and ask as many questions as you feel the need to. We all literally walk in the same shoes you do. I'm not saying it's easy by any stretch of the imagination, in fact, it's complete hell for most of us until we bust the bitches out of the park. We are all here to help and support you in any way we can. Try the FAQ, it's a HUGE help in understanding what you have and how to beat it. Shoot me a PM if you need someone to vent at.

Bejeeber Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 What they said. 8-) After 18 years you've just now found a place where there's a good chance to bust this beast. I'm a 30 year CH vet and my CH experience and outlook has improved tremendously thanks to our brothers and sisters in CH who have figured out what the docs haven't, pooled their knowledge, and are eager to share it. Here's some good info about the newer, more effective way to abort CH hits with O2: http://www.clusterheadaches.com/O2/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhedges Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Have you all noticed the "drive by posts" the last few days. Dying in Omaha and now The Devil is back...but no responses from them. I sure hope they come back and take advantage of the info here like we all did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
