Title: Wanna help?
Post by jonny on Sep 18th, 2003, 7:18pm
Never asked for and never planned too.

But switching insurance companies has me in a ringer, 4 weeks to see a pcp and six to see the Neuro that diagnosed me....I have about six days of meds and thats tapering so I dont crash and burn when they run out.

I went 9 weeks with only three HA's and now that I have to taper down im getting nailed.

All im asking is that if you have any lithium contact me...the verapamil I have comming "Thank you my friend"

Dont mind me...im a chronic that dont want to see that side of the street again.....

Jonny, Mike still has a little bit of lithium here (I think about 40 pills).
As Ann says, though, not sure what the border would do to it.  Had a bit of a prob sending across the border before....

Bro,

Don't have LI, but I have some Maxalt MLT 10mg and a few Zomig ZMT 5mg. I know that is not in the same ballpark as LI, but let me know if that would help. You were the one that clued me in on using them as a nighttime abortive, would love to help you out any way I can.

I think that this is only the second or third time you have asked us for help, while I've been here. Wish I could do something. My best friend in high school used to rip off veterinarian clinics for PCP. Should I reach out to him?

Love ya,
David J.

P.S. This is a good time to mention to the episodics (like me, dumb, dumb, dumb!!!!) that you must keep refilling your prescriptions in-between cycles. My insurance limits me to 6 tabs of Zomig ZMT 5mg., per month, I need at least one every night during my ten week cycle. During the 22 months pain free between cycles, I should get those fucking 6 mofo tabs, every month. I haven’t. Somebody, please, just shoot me.

Do not take this the wrong way but I find this thread very interesting coming from a group that fears the leagal ramifiactions of growing mushrooms.

What is the penalty for interstate prescription drug transactions?

Really, I think it is great that everyone is willing to help out and I would help in a heartbeat (if I had or needed prescription drugs).

Just an observation, thats all.

Jonny,
Our plan is in motion.  I'll keep you posted.



jmin,
I noted your 'observation'.  My observation is that clusterheads will take extreme measures to help other clusterhead.....when they won't or can't do the same for themselves.  It's a matter of the heart.

jminmilwaukee,

Dude, I would do mushrooms in a heartbeat. But damn, it's been tough ever since Jerry died.

Jackie,

I completly understand the extreem mesure thing. As I said, I would help in a heartbeat if I could.

Why is that Clusterheads will take extreem measures to help other clusterheads but not themselves?

Again, I am not arguing the helping out thing but If your willing to go to jail for someone else, why not yourself?

Just curious. Not a slam or a flame or a putdown, just something to ponder.

Intersesting read.

Again, this is not an attack. Perhaps I am selfish when it comes to how I choose to break the laws. I know that no one would ever ask anyone here to do something they themselves were not also willing to do.

I still fail to see the difference between taking a chance on this as opposed to quietly growing your medication.

Anyway, this is probably the wrong thread to address this issue.

jmin,

It's a bit like a mother who would steal food to feed her hungry child but she wouldn't do it to feed herself.

I could be wrong but that's how I see it....

Post by Margi on Sep 19th, 2003, 8:47am
Jmin,

I have to comment here.  If you don't understand why we would would risk breaking laws to help a clusterhead prevent going back into pain, then you don't understand the nature of this website and the resulting family it has spawned.

Jonny and I don't see eye to eye on much anymore, but....he is a clusterhead.  My husband is a clusterhead, too.  Jonny built us a regulator for our O2 tank and shipped it up here for us.  Now, my husband has some left over lithium that may or may not make it through customs and across the border.  It would be safer and probably much easier if we could find some in the states for Jonny, but if we can't, then we'll try to ship it from here.  

Jonny got some pain free time this year and now he's running out of meds that could keep him there.  Am I going to help prevent that if I can, regardless of all the angry words we've spoken to each other in the recent past?  Hell yeah I am.  This is different than fighting with each other.  This is fighting on the same team to fight the beast.  Whole different ball game in that regard.

Would I risk legal consequences to fight the beast for any clusterhead in trouble?  Say it with me now.... Hell, yeah!  

edit:  there are some that the shroom therapy has failed here (my hubby is one of them), and there are those who may just not want to pursue that route.  Further, if the person has been on other meds for a long time, as Jonny has, it's a really bad idea to try this route without detoxing first.  Some folks also have personal reasons for not wanting to try the shrooms.

No argument over the do anything for a fellow Clusterhead. No Argument over the tried and did not work or personal choices.

Just don't give me that "I can't try it because my family, job, life is much to important to me to risk" argument (pertaining to shrooms).

I would suspect that the majority of those who feel that way would also not risk the prescription thing.

I understand why someone would risk 10 years and 250,000 dollars to do this. If you read my earlier posts in this thread you would see that I pointed that out.

The mother baby thing is a bit of a stretch though. Would you steal food for your baby if it meant your baby could end up doing hard time also?

Anyway, enough said. Just be carefull out there. I would suggest you take this kind of help "underground" as I would not put it past the DEA to monitor these types of transactions over the web.

One last thing, the whole FAMILY argument is getteng rather old for me. I am the drunken uncle, remember?

Geeze.......

 Dave being one of those that doesnt want to try the shrooms because his job would be at stake... He drives tractor trailer for the USPS and has to have prescriptions for everything he takes and is drug tested constantly...

ps why do we always have to have someone bring negativity to a thread.... this started out to be an awesome thread......... negative....... negative...... negative jim from milwalkee........our family is fine here thankyou.........
maybe a change in meds is due for you dear... ree

JM,
Who cares?  Is it our business if people don't want to grow shrooms for whatever reason?  I know it's none of my business.  I'm not even sure the people sharing meds are the same ones that won't grow.  It doesn't matter anyway.  Everyone is responsible for their own decisions for whatever reasons they choose.

Come to the board and tell us how well the shrooms work for you but don't judge others for not wanting to try it.

That said, I will add that any woman who hasn't tried indocin is nuts!

Title: Re: Wanna help?
Post by jminmilwaukee on Sep 19th, 2003, 9:50am
You are absolutely right.

It is none of my buisness and to each their own.

Sorry for the negativity, not intentional.

Just be carefull, Dave will have a hard time driving truck if he's doing hard time.

This was not a judgement, just a question of where does one draw the line concerning legalities, thats all.

And for the I don't get it thing, I do. I take and give to and from this board what works best for me. Just because this sometimes goes against the grain does justify "You don't get it".

We all make choices, right or wrong depends on an optinion or perspective. Unfortunatly, the law does not make that distinction.

Anyway, I am rambling now.

Jonny is taken care of which is really the important issue here (I mean  that, no sarcasm).

Peace out 8)

DON'T quote me if I'm wrong....but aren't shrooms consider'd more of the halucinagin's type drug with stiffer fine then lithium would be ? Did I explain that right......I mean I'd worry about sendin them or TALKING ABOUT SENDING THEM IN PUBLIC then the lithium deal. So I guess I am jus tryin tame yer worries jmin and not sure I did a very good job at explainin myself tho....sorry. Pam that thinks ya need ta worry bout sum stuff but not others as much  :-/

Sorry jonny no lithium here or you'd be MORE then welcome to it if we did !

Title: Re: Wanna help?
Post by jminmilwaukee on Sep 19th, 2003, 3:30pm
Yes, I am sure that shrooms are much stiffer penalty.

Just forget I said anything bout anything regarding this and get Jonny his meds.

He almost sounded happy there for a minute!!!!

Jeff who brings up deep conversations and viewpoints that go against the grain ane ends up getting nowhere but put back into his place after trying to make a point that nobody but jeff can understand.

Perhaps I should try some of the drugs you all are taking, I may then see the light  8)

Well, yes and no.  It's because:
1.)  CPH mimics CH.
2.)  CPH is more of a woman's afflictionand CH more of a man's.
3.)  Indocin is almost 100% effective against CPH.
4.)  Some women with CPH are suffering needlessly because they are treating it like CH.
5.)  Indocin is cheap with few side effects.
6.)  Women don't get clusters!

Post by badfly on Sep 21st, 2003, 4:32am
Well Jim I for one understand your point and dont find it negative at all ! I think shrooms have negative connetations in our society today and pharma drugs are kosher (normal and ok). Personaly I am suspicious of any pharma drug and place VERY negative connotations on them. I guess what I am trying to say is that everyone is looking in with that distinctly individual outlook that has been developed over many years, generations and cultures. If this forum was in chineese, I bet the majority of ppl here would be freaking over Imitrex but happy to discuss growing methods for all their herbs and funghi.

Just a little perspective from John. He cant spell, but boy can he roll.
