Title: Buzza9030 is new here Post by Buzza on Jul 2nd, 2012 at 9:03pm
Hi,
I was diagnosed this afternoon but have just realized i've been putting up with this BS for 7-8 years now. I just started my attacks last Tuesday night at midnight and wanted to drill a hole in my head again!!I haven't had an attack in 2 years I think. Is this really how it goes?Only happens between May and August and always gets me out of a deep sleep. I appreciate any advice anyone has. I have been prescibed sumattriptan in it's injectable form and can quite honestly say,I can't wait to shoot up if the MF'er of a headache comes back. Thanks! |

Some temporary fixes:
Energy drinks, rock star, Monster, I prefer sugar free red bull just for the taste, but any containing the combination of caffiene and taurine. Chug it down at the first sign of a hit. many can abort or really reduce a hit this way. 4way nasal spray. That's the brand name, works well for shadows and sometimes even attacks, snort up the affected nostril. Welding oxygen is every bit as pure as medical grade, many here on the board use it. The biggest trick to getting oxygen to work is getting 100% 02 to your lungs, at a level to support hyper ventilation, started at the first hint of an attack. Like I said, my aborts run 6-8 minutes. Go to the medications section of this board and read the post "123 pain free days and I think I know why". It's a simple vitamin/anti inflammatory regimen, pennies a day, healthy for you even without CH. It's proving a lot of relief to a lot of people, really worth a read. Joe |
