Title: unusual remedies...
Post by Reese on Apr 2nd, 2004, 3:49pm
Over the years Ive been reading lots about CH. I seen,and tried, so many different methods of pain releif. I feel kinda foolish with the stuff Ive experimented with. The latest I found was eye drops,just plain ole eye drops, and I actually been trying this today  [smiley=laugh.gif] .So far, no headache. Tomorrows another day,though. signed,sober for few days now  ;;D

Hope it keeps working for you.

Just plain ole drops?

As I've stated before:

Run naked with a traffic cone shoved up your ass and scream "Look at me - I'm the space shuttle".

Coincidentally, just read about a new 'special' contact lens that helps many people with migraines.  They won't say what is special about it until it gets through the next round of tests.

At least the traffic cone slowed the locals down alittle.

here's another: go to the ER and beat the snot out of the guy who simplies your pain as "migraine somthingunosis"!!! Ooops,sorry that was my experience with the local ER  >:(

Well, I can never discount migraine treatments, because a lot of our drugs are oringinally intended for migraine use. :-/  Hopefully someday, we'll have treatments that were designed originally for Cluster use.

Other than that, I'd pay to see echo running naked with a cone shoved up his butt screaming ;;D

[smiley=referee.gif] 10 yards for unnecessary roughness.  Time for a hormone shot!

One person says they are experimenting with eye drops and other chimes in about contacts for migraines - not totally unrelated.  Especially since, like Melissa said, a lot of the meds we are taking now were originally developed for other problems.  A lot of people here are taking Imitrex - developed for Migraines.  

Migraines are not as bad as clusters, we all know that.  I still don't think we should discount someone else's pain, because we were "special" enough to get hit with a more serious malady.  Personally, I'd rather not have either.

Post by Charlie on Apr 2nd, 2004, 5:53pm
Paint yourself blue, build chain link fence shrines and guzzle Windex. I don't care what if it works for you.

As you all know, most of my epilepsy drugs are used or have been tried for clusters.....as well as migraines. Imitrex is a migraine drug isn't it?

What do you bet that the HMO pricks who have migraines...and there must be many, have no trouble getting full Imitrex coverage? It's time for violence folks......Oh. Don't tell John Ashcroft.

Well, my mother told me that if I got my hair cut, and stopped going to the nudist colonies, I would not have anymore headaches ...  I wouldn't be terribly upset about cutting my hair ... But DAMN!  I would have to wear clothes all the time!?  Not sure if I could do that!

LMAO Chuck!!  What some people will say....

Just the other day, my dad...after seeing me suffer with all this crap for quite some time now, said to me, "Well why don't you try excedrin?"  I yelled at him!!  He also gave me the name of some neuro at Penn who cured these ladies migraines by finding an exact spot on their head that could trigger them, injecting that spot, and they have been migraine free ever since.  I told him to give me a break....

Even after all this, and for the most part my dad is very supportive, he still suggests excedrin????  Craziness!!

Broke out of the insame asylum by tunneling with a spoon.  Came up here.  Sorry about the hole in the floor.  I do woodworking on the side.  I'll fix it good as new.

Door... hmph!

How I got here?...Hmm, let's see.  Referred to the site by a caring co-worker of my wife's.  Typed in the url.  Took the survey's.  Read the available documentation on both this site and OUCH's.  Decided that between diagnosis by a doctor and a neurologist and the survey's  I belong here.  Registered both here and on OUCH.  Logged in.  Started reading posts.  Decided to toss in my 2 cents worth.

Is that close enough to how it's done for you or is there some special secret handshake I should know first?

Oh, for anyone that couldn't tell  "special" was used in a sarcastic manner.

Look Maw!  Only here a little over a week and already making friends!.

Damn you Gator!  Tha floor was made with special graining of special wood to withstand all the head banging!  You BETTER get a good grain and wood match!

Somabitch!  He will NEVER get it to match, what with all the wear and tear that the old floor had.  It will not stain the same.  It won't have the same head dents in it.  KERAP!  

Next time, Gator, use the freekin' DOOR!

unusual remedies...?????????? I posted a long list once but don't remember when. It's in the archives.

Does that help?

I could type it again from memory but it'll take 77 hours of nonstop typing and fill 98% of the world wide web and probably crash the host computer at USC but, what the hell........want it?


Mark C has a good memory. Maybe he can remember where it is. Hey Mark!

Post by Mark C on Apr 3rd, 2004, 11:21pm
Ahhhh yes brother Bob....I remember it well. If memory serves me there were more than one "research" post on your part. Excellence in action....look here (http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=meds;action=display;num=1073517818;start=33#33). Gold if there ever was any.

I also have a list of triggers about the same length.

I know what you're thinking and the answere is Yes,

I have no life. :'(


LMAO.....You are my hero!  :-*


Holler anytime Bobby....I think I will bookmark this for future refrence... ;;D

LMAO.......Thanks Mark. Don't know how you found it. I tried the search feature so many times that the "Give it up and Get A Life Dumbass" message came on and wouldn't let me search any more.

I got it bookmakerd on a Post-it  note now and stapled it to my forehead.

Post by Lizzie2 on Apr 4th, 2004, 12:31am
LOL Bob,

That was on a thread about alternative treatments right?? and acupuncture?  I think that post Mark quoted was in response to my question something like, "Do people really try this stuff?" or something to that effect. LOL

Lizzie

Title: Re: unusual remedies...
Post by BobG on Apr 4th, 2004, 12:48am
Yeah it was about accupuncture.

A lady asked for things that had worked for at least one person.

So I told her and she got pissed.

Everything on that list was copied/pasted directly from the "old" CH.com board and was used successfully by at least one person. Many things on the list are regularly used meds and techniques.

Title: Re: unusual remedies...
Post by Turts on Apr 4th, 2004, 1:46am
Ive tried accupunture. The little pins felt quite pleasant going into skin.

Then I got a visit from the beast. He danced around the table to did his own accupunture.

Nice big fcuken Samurai swords into the eye.

After that I gave further accupunture a miss.

Alcohol usually brings one on, so next ill try A MADMAN.

Simply order a Tequila slammer. (lick, sip,suck) Now do the following.

Lick the salt
Throw the tequila over your shoulder
and squirt the lemon in your eye.


I will keep you posted on how effective this is.

Lemon in the eye.  [smiley=laugh.gif] Good one.  [smiley=gocrazy.gif] Another one to add to the list (if it works for at least one person)

I saw something similar recently with a group of young piss artist lads:

Snort the salt through a straw (like doing a line of coke)
Shoot the Tequila
Squeeze lemon in the eye

all this to impress a few girls - who remained very unimpressed!
