Title: TRY THIS!
Post by Luciano on Dec 1^st, 2003, 9:13pm

Hi everyone! ;)

Just jumped here from Italian garlic smelling Ouch board ;;D to tell you a funny trick I found to abort my attacks! [smiley=thumb.gif]

It is very simple to do, it doesn't costs a cent and it has no side effects at all!
For these reason I advice you to try it... and then... let me know!!

HERE'S WHAT IT IS:
I called it INTERCOOLER (but this name in italian is much more attractive 'couse it has a double meaning, it also means.... eeemmm... something like "into the ass"... reffered to the positive effects it has against my demon!) http://www.littizzetto.it/forums/html/emoticons/hump.gif ;;D

In few words it is: "FREEZE WATER... NASAL SPRAY!"

HERE'S HOW TO DO:
You boil some natural water for about 10 minutes, then wait till gets cold enough to put it in the fridge.
After that you should take a clean empty nasal sprayer (the small bottle you use for nasal spray drugs when you have a cold, once you' ve cleaned it, is perfect! - better if it is made of glass!).
Poor the cold water into the sprayer and leave it into the fridge!

At this point (if it works like it does on me) you have a good natural alternative to Imitrex ready to be used in your fridge!

The only thing you have to do is spray it (3 or more times) up into your nose at the first knocking of the demon. You have to inhale it deeply (not too fast, but deeply!)
The most important thing is to use very cold water... nearly freezing!

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
I didn't discovered anything new!!! It is known that cold (just like oxygen) probably involves a marked reduction in cerebral blood flow and it reduces the diameter of our vessels that results in concomitant pain reduction!

It worked on me several times and I really hope it can works on someone of you too... my loved American's brothers and sisters! [smiley=heart.gif]

TRY IT AND LET ME KNOW ABOUT THE RESULTS!!!

Thousands of perfumed kisses from Italy! ... and have nice freezesniffing!!! ;;D

PFDAN to all!!! [smiley=wave.gif]

Luciano.

Hummm,

Makes me a little worried to try this idea. Anytime i've ever got water up my nose, it went into my lungs. I coughed a long time with a burning sensation until i finally got it all out.

Anyone else ever tried this ?

Yes, BlueMeanie... it can be a bit annoying at first... but if it works to stop a CH attak it worth to try!!!

I know that everyone of us is different, so I don't want to deceive anyone with the same old fairy stories... but it worked on me, and I'll be happy if someone of you can get some relief using this trick!

A special though to those that are under attaks, ktssu! ;) (or as Zaira says STAY HARD!!!) ;;D

I will try anything and actually that does make sense.
But when I think about it, it sounds almost painful! Of course it can't be anymore painful than a CH.

No Paigelle, it's not painful! As I said before it can be a little bit annoying at first, but if this kills the beast, you'll feel it as a great orgasmic pleasure!!! :P ;;D

I'm out of cycle right now but this sounds like a good tip to try when the time comes. Instead of boiling my own water and reusing an old sprayer, what do think if I just used a common over the counter saline nose spray? I use that often during the winter to keep my sinuses hydated during the heating season ... it's just sterile water with a little salt added. I'll just keep it in the fridge instead of on the coffee table ... thanks for tip!

Hi John!

I've tried with the common saline nose spray when (at first) docs tought my headaches where caused by an infection of my sinuses... (too often common in our histories... even over Ocean..!! :-/) but it didn't work! Probably because I haven't kept it in the fridge!::) ;;D
Anyway I'm a bit concerned about salt... I don't know... but perhaps natural water is better because is more "neutral".
What we need from this "treatment" is THE COLD that reaches a point close to our poor dilated vessels, that are the cause of the pain of CH!
Regardind the sprayer probably is better to buy an empty new one! If it's made of glass instead of plastic, then it gets more cold... which is much better!!!

TRY IT FELLOW HEADHAMMERED!!!! ;)

Wonder if you can keep the ice water and use a dropper. That way you could really get it up there. Do you all think that would be okay?

I haven't tried that, but it should work too! (I'll try it!)
Remember: you have to inspire it deeply (maybe the spray is more gentle with your nose).

It seems a thing like the Bob Kipple frozen Oxigen (for those new, is a long plastic tube to put in the freezer, where O2 flow, from tank to mask.
