mikeh2017 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hi everyone, just recently moved to Toronto, and got hit with an episodic cluster a few weeks ago. I've tried contacting a variety of neurologists including the ones recommended on the list here, but due to the Pandemic times are in excess of three months! Does anyone have any Toronto/Ontario advice for doctors or coping techniques/tips/ advice regarding Psilocybin? I know there is an official clinic here that offers Ketamine therapy only for PTSD.

mikeh2017 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thanks @CHfather! Have an appointment with the Neuro tommorrow. Hopefully will be first step in building a case file and a plan of action. So happy Clusterbusters exists. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHfather Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Do the best you can to insist on a prescription for oxygen. I know you have read that in the post I linked you to, but I want to emphasize it. Do your best. Maybe bring this with you: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/185035. Good luck!

Wanda0930 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Mikeh, were you able to source oxygen in Toronto? My regular supplier is refusing cluster patients bc of covid. They are only supplying their “core users” at this time. Let me know if you managed to get some and from whom. There are online mushroom dispensaries now as well in Canada which is nice. I haven’t used them yet but it’s an option. Also, I go to the headache clinic at Women’s College Hospital and they understand our condition well. It does take a long time to become a patient (10+ months for me for the initial appointment years ago) but once you are in they are super fast and responsive. Sending pain free wishes to you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh2017 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Hi Wanda thanks so much for this. I tried getting an appointment with Dr. Christine Lay @ Womens Hospital but still no luck.Pushing! Please PM me and I will give you the number of an oxygen co. that claimed they can deliver within a day or two with a Dr's Prescription. Best, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
