I am very offended by what you posted, what you posted is rude and degrading,
and in many ways claiming you and only you have the “miraculous”
answer to our common malady!
This is not only unacceptable, it is beyond any proper
behaviour with any group with a common interest!
You might possess some knowledge, you might possess a possible answer,
but you cannot imply that the only ones using the “CB” way are the ones
that have seen the light, this reminds me of a different kind of fundamentalism…
The research (or being part of a research group) some of us, (hopefully for all of us)
do, is to find an answer, an answer we all (most of us) can share.
I did point out more than once that the “CB” way could (and seems to be)
a good way to reduce and even eliminate our pains, and not only once
I have pointed it out in my country and in other places, the potential of using
“CB”, with some good reasaults, interest, and curiosity.
but IT IS ILLEGAL!!!!
and therefore it is out of the question for some of us, whether for ideological reasons
or simply for practical reasons.
I cannot use the “CB” ways!! I like my job, I need my job! and I have the age where
losing my job will jeopardize my future, as well as all what is dear to me.
And this thought, or better said alternative, is worse than having “CH”!!!!
I am invited to a Pain and Anaesthesiology Meeting in Switzerland,
and I was going to talk about CH and also about the “CB” alternative, as a very good
alternative (if legalized), but now after reading your last posting I have the distinct feeling
that I will drop the CB part, and most likely not attend the meeting, posts like this turn me off,
to try and promote our cause, it makes me rethink my commitment to the CH world,
and its needs
YOUR WAY (even so it might be a good way) IS NOT THE ONLY WAY!!!!

i really don't understand what is so offensive about clusterbusting nor do i understand why it is such a taboo subject. you guys go through all these trial and tribulations with there meds and their doctors. clusterbusting is a one time treatment and it works.
this is a site to help people deal with cluster headaches. thats why bob makes his posts hear. he is a clusterhead like all the rest of us.
also lets not forget that all these trusted drug companies (how much does imitrex cost?)are the ones that lobby to keep it illegal. they need to make sure that you keep buying their drugs and keep that money rolling in. NOBODY makes any money from clusterbusting.
as far as drug testing goes i am a truckdriver. i get drug tested quit often. the only way you can detect lsd is through a spinal tap. mushrooms and other methods are out of your system in days. i too need my job but it's not like i can slide out from my desk and go hide somewhere. i have to find a place to park my truck and try to put my head back together before i run somebody over. last cycle i didn't have insurance. because of this and because i refused to drive due to safety reasons i clusterbusted. a few weeks later i was pf and back on the road supporting my family.
clusterbusting does have a place on this site and i don't understand why it's so hush hush. if you gave me a choice between breaking the law and getting stabbed in the face repeatedly i'll break the law everytime!
as far as morality goes, what moral about charging you $150 for imitrex when it's just an immediate and non lasting remedy.
whats so immoral about using lsd or mushrooms to take care of an ailment? seriously can anybody answer that question?
with all due respect don't knock it until you've tried it!
