Title: Usine Shrooms - A couple of points
Post by grandteton on Jan 23^rd, 2004, 1:59am

Hi there,

My name is Mark from down town Australia! I have been reading this site on and off for a few months now and am very relieved to find such an amazing source of information. I thought I was on my own!

I am 28 yo and am having the third bout of cluster headaches in my life but aren't able to rid myself of them this time.

My first bout was back in about 95, about 6 months after playing (that mad game) Aussie Rules where I got knocked out and suffered severe whiplash. After suffering from these headaches for a few months, I visited a remedial masseur who using trigger points techniques, loostened my neck and the headaches disappeared.

Then whilst living over in the UK in 99-00 they started again, and several visits to remedial masseurs did nothing. Then by accident I visted a health shop and explained my problem. (which at the time I referred to as migraines) They put me onto Feverfew tablets and told me to cut out triggers (choc, wine, cheese, sugar etc) and they disappeared within a week, after nearly a year of suffering. AMAZING!

They're back again now, and I've had this bout for 10months. Unfortunately this time no masseur, osteopath, mytherapist, feverfew or diet is working.
I get in between 4 and 7 clusters a day which last for between 10 and 30 mins, usually meaning some "down tme" at least twice a day hiding in the toilet cubicle at work to recover!

I clench my jaw and grind my teeth unintentionally whilst sleeping which my GP says may be a cause. Has anyone else had this problem?

I am onto the mushroom theory and am just about to start growing my own, however I have two points I need some help with:

1) How much to take?

Is it better to used dried shrooms or fresh ones? If I do used dry ones, how do I dry them?
Can you make mushroom tea with dry mushrooms as well as fresh? How many/what weight is ideal for both fresh and dried?

2) Are you able to store fresh mushrooms for use at a later date? Or can you make tea from them and store that?

I have read a lot and aren't too clear on amounts/weights etc. If anyone can help at all I'd appreciate it! [smiley=laugh.gif]

Thanks!
Mark

Hello,

jmin is correct....go to that site and the various links provided there. It will answer practically every question that you may have. The preferred method is measurement via dried products. Good luck.
