Title: New on here but not to Ch
Post by Hoops on Jul 20th, 2012 at 8:33am
this is my first day on any website like this so I hope I've posted this in the right place.
I've suffered for about 3 years now, I'm a 46 yr old fella from the UK, I've tried so many different things, most I can't even say never mind spell! Now about a month ago I spoke to and by accident an OT and he asked me if i was stressed, I'm not as far as I'm concerned but he said I don't need to be worried about things as this could be deeper. Long story short, it was suggested I try Kalms (relieves periods of worry, irritability, stresses and strains) says on the box. I've been on them 3 weeks and my headaches have reduced by at least 90%, not kidding, i know the pain i share with many of you and would try anything, I'm sceptical at best about most things. I would be very interested to hear from someone else who has tried these, they're herbal too! try em and let me know.

If your headaches are handled by this product I doubt that you have Cluster. The symptoms and intensity of Cluster pain requires some rather specialized treatments.

Suggest you contact your excellent support group and see if they can direct you to an experienced doc who can help your sort out the clinical picture.

I've read a few of your replies and I can tell you I have CH, always left side, eye, nose etc. My Doctor is no mug and has tried to help me over the last few years. Comes on in less than a minute and is unbelievable pain, goes almost as quick as they come. Doesn't really matter to me whether bods try my suggestion, if like me you're at a point that you'd try anything, try an OT and see what their opinion is.
Thanks for your input tho!!

The brand name, "Kalms", isn't known in the U.S., as far as I know. Suspect this true for many other countries--keep mind that we have  world wide membership.

Would help if you would list the ingredients so that folks who are interested can find a local version.
