Title: I'M FREE OF THE DEVIL! Post by cookiesnmint on Jun 18th, 2005, 12:45pm ;;D I had headaches about once a week on the pain level scale of 8 or 9. Although it would happen at any time of year, it mostly happened in Spring or Fall, or doing dry weather periods. About a year and a half ago, I did research on vitamins and nutritional supplements after my doctor lied to me about treatment of high cholesterol. That prompted me to change my vitamins and supplements. After that change, my cluster headaches completely stopped! I have had a couple of shadows within the past year, but NEVER a full-blown cluster headache. My new regimen come completely from the NSI brand on Vitacost.com. This is NOT an endorsement for them. I simply want you to know exactly what works for me. I take one pill a day after breakfast of the following items: Multi-Vitamin (Synergy Once a Day on Vitacost.com) Omega 3 EPA & DHA (Mega EFA) Vitamin E (Gamma E Tocopherol Complex) Calcium (Calcium & Magnesium) Magnesium Vitamin C Via some research from a reputable source, my understanding is that the magnesium is the key. These vitamins and supplements give me over 200 mg of magnesium per day. Also, I recommend avoiding cheap vitamins and supplements. For example some Omega 3 fish oil supplements use the cheapest ingredients. Via some minor non-CH headaches, I think a cheap brand that I no longer buy had some mercury in it. Quality does matter. I sincerely hope that someone finds this information helpful and gets permanent relief from cluster headaches like I did. |

Title: Re: I'M FREE OF THE DEVIL! Post by don on Jun 18th, 2005, 1:50pm Glad to hear your sinuses cleared up and you rid your self of those pesky little sinus headaches. I'll stick to a full body armour suit if theraputic magnets. I've also heard that the Fred vitamin is much better than the Dino vitamin for stress headaches. |

Title: Re: I'M FREE OF THE DEVIL! Post by seasonalboomer on Jun 18th, 2005, 2:51pm By the way welcome to the clusterheadache boards. nice of you to share your miraculous story with us on your first post. It's good to get right to the heart of the matter -- as we are all here to find the cure. I understand that NSI is only available through www.vitacost.com -- it would be horrible to user cheaper vitamins or for that matter offbrand "hoodia". While Consumer Reports generally recommends that many lesser expensive multivitamins deliver the same punch, I'm with you, why spend less when you can spend more. "Vitacost.com is the only provider of the complete Nutraceutical Sciences Institute (NSI) line of vitamins and supplements. NSI offers a doctor recommended, lab tested, potency guaranteed line of products for joint/bone health, cardiovascular, immune, energy, women’s health, men’s health, vision, and much more…" Sure wish they would expand their distribution outside of the internet and maybe i'd buy some. bummer. Good luck and hope you stay pain free from your headaches and free from the clutches of the devil. |

Title: Re: I'M FREE OF THE DEVIL! Post by sandie99 on Jun 22nd, 2005, 9:22am I'm glad you've found something which works for you! :) I have been taking calcium tables, magnesium tablets and multivitamin regularly for quite some time now. In the very beginning I noticed that magnesium did help with ch. But it wasn't the vitamins but verpamil which finally gave me PF days... :) Best wishes, Sanna/sandie99 |

Title: Re: I'M FREE OF THE DEVIL! Post by seasonalboomer on Jun 23rd, 2005, 8:37am Okay. Now for the assessment. Was cookiesnmint a troll? Did we run her off unwarranted? Was our reaction too strong to the barely veiled commercial intent of the post? Is the fact that cookiesmint only posted once and was gone after such a post a sign that we're a mean bunch of buggers (translated for UK members), or that an appropriate reaction took place? Opinions count because facts may never be ascertained. |

Title: Re: I'M FREE OF THE DEVIL! Post by mynm156 on Jun 24th, 2005, 1:07am How many of us came here CURED?! I came here out of despiration, I came here because I had nowhere else to turn. There are recurring themes to the trolls and they all have a half hidden sales pitch for some snakeoil. When THEY try to describe what they call clusters their attacks are never like any I have heard described here. They are all very generic. I suffered from severe headaches for 20 years until I tried BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!! GOOD VIBES |

Title: Re: I'M FREE OF THE DEVIL! Post by nani on Jun 24th, 2005, 11:23am "Cure" seems to be the operative irritant here. I think it's fair to be skeptical of anyone who claims a certain product "cured" them. Now, that being said, I have joined other message boards just to tout the kudzu treatment. No one has questioned my intentions. Granted, part of the problem is in presentation. When I post somewhere, I do not mention a brand name or claim to be cured. I just share my experiences. I used to be one of the first to jump on the "Kill the troll" wagon...I'm a little more sensitive now. Just in case. |

She will be back with another name and another story. In the short time I have been here I have already been able to spot them. I have only pointed one out, and that being because of a couple insensitive comments that were directed to someone who did not deserve them. I don't post much on the Medical boards because I just don't know enough yet, I am still learning, I would hate to be responsible for running someone off that is in need of help or could be of real help to another. |

I don't know Marc, but I assume you are a regular and that your asprin comment is totally sarcastic.

I would hate for a member of the cluster family to have to spend unneeded days in pain, trying some bullshit, wasting valuable resources (money), possibly ignoring a more effective treatment alternative to try some "cure" that a first-time (or 5th time for that matter) poster lays on everyone. Sincere posters, who lay a "something is working for me" post down early may catch some flak but they stay and learn and become community. Call it a "troll patrol" if you want -- but I believe skepticism, in an environment such as this, is more important than pleasantries. This is the internet, the one your mama warned you about. |
