not sure what my headaches are, but ive been having them my whole life. my chemist recommended period pain pills along with paracetamol which seems to help a lot more than just plain painkillers. hope this tip was helpful to anyone!

i've been a sufferer for about 15 years. has anyone heard about shrooms? i would love to try it as it is supposed to be very effective. could care less about it being illegal these friggin things hurt. any cop or judge that has anything to say should try getting one of these right. don't care about them being illegal that is a dumb ass law anyway!

Hey Anthony. I was chronic, but am not "seasonal" I guess. I was very suicidal for the 1st 10 years of this condition. I can only say that most chronic people turn episodic, but i know you already know this. Insurance is such a joke. Especially for CH Sufferers. F' Insurance! F' the world. This pain is to much to deal with. Sorry. Im in season right now.

Doctors say that it can start at the age of 20 which is in my case not right. As a result of CH I can not remember or memorize anything. I forget almost everything. My eye drops a little downwards. My nose, onely one side, stops, my back starts to sweat, my chin shivers, I hear my heartbeats in my left ear, I put my head between my knees and keep moving from left to right and back. I sometimes cry but I have then no energy to make a sound. I feels like some tries to extract my eyeball.

Hello diablitta,

to answer you question. I would say yes. I have been suffering from clusterheads already for 23 years. It very chronicl by me. It started as far as I remeber, when I was ten years old. Now I am 33 and I am still afraid of that pain. My body starts to shake before and after the pain. The only solution which I have found is strong coffee with a segarette right when the pain starts. It aborts for 60 % the attacks. Sometimes does not. No tea, no cheese, no chacolate, no icecream!

I got diagnosed with CH's in 2005. I spent a year in Malta, a year in Israel, a year in Cyprus and now a year in Bulgaria. My only question is: Is there anybody out there who has dealt with this without any medicine for 4 years. LIke I Have?

Well I don't have CH(had a headache got here and read about all the types enough to drop some infos)
it appears , CHs get worse with seasonal changes amplitude ... it seems living south (or north) towards the equator will help reduce them for you


as to the vid , medical insurance companies are just that ... there are many pitfalls in public and private healthcare that revolve around not recognizing many different conditions...

Unfortunately, a lot of CH sufferers have suffered without proper treatment for as long as 20 & 30 yrs. I've had them since 1993. It was not until Sept 2009 that I received a proper diagnosis and tentative treatment.

With the exception of steroids, nothing has helped me. O2, steroids, and shrooms seem to be the only things that have a substantial affect on aborting. For me: as mine peak, there is no help. I hang on and pray for a quick exit.
