Bjinno Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 I have found a cure. I suffered from cluster headaches for 9 years. 4-6 weeks in the early spring, year after year. The unbelievable pain of a cluster headache. I would go to bed, and 1 or 2 hours later I would wake up with a pain in my head that had be contemplating suicide. Easter Sunday of last year was the worst day of my life. I was moments away from shooting myself in the head in the basement, just to stop the headache. I thought to myself, "In a couple hours, I'll be glad I didn't kill myself." Dark, I know. I've seen multiple doctors and specialists, had MRI's. Tried the oxygen regimen, beta-blockers, Sleeping in different rooms, different houses, and different positions. Altering my sleep schedule, blah blah blah. Nothing worked. It was a incurable phenomenon that nobody could help with. This past fall, I decided to go Vegan for a totally unrelated reason. No animal products whatsoever. With that, there are lots of different things that are no longer in my system and circulating my bloodstream. I could go on and on about what it did for my system. THE MAIN POINT BEING, I DIDN'T GET CLUSTER HEADACHES THIS YEAR. Not even a little bit, no sign of them whatsoever. I went to bed every night this spring in fear of what we all are too familiar with, and it never happened. I'm not a scientist or a doctor, but I believe the absence of animal fats and cholesterol, along with whey and casein proteins... is the reason I no longer get these headaches. Its been one season without them, but I'm sure anybody reading this will agree that this information is too important not to share. I WENT VEGAN AND MY CLUSTER HEADACHES WENT AWAY. Do what you want with this information - and good luck to all of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHurtsMyHead Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Bjinno, Thanks for sharing. Glad to hear you didn't get a cycle this year. Sadly though many people have tried going Vegan and it hasn't helped. Maybe it did for you and that's definitely great. CH changes all the time for everyone and regularly skips years for those that are episodic. I'm going to move this thread to the general board since it better fits there. Hoping you stay pain free!

MoxieGirl Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Awesome news Bjinno, My rule for clusters is this: No two cluster heads are the same, and just as soon as you figure yours out, it changes. Many of us have found things that work for us, but no one, or only a few, other people. I hope this proves to be a long-term fix for you, and it is worth trying anything and everything. But don't suspect it'll be a cure for everyone. Like THMH said, many have tried this remedy. Hang in there, and lock up that gun. MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
