As another newbie on my 10th week of ch's I am ready for some clusterbusting myself. The lithium doesnt help much, the imitrex makes me vomit and the oxygen gives me sinus infections from drying out my nose too much. Where in the world does one find such a thing in Copenhagen? I am too the point of going out and looking under cow pies for shrooms. And I dont like to handle cow pies.

We're not exactly sure when it will, but I do advise anyone who has the possibility to come here and wants to clusterbust, to come quickly.

Those stupid christian democrats! A research department from the governement itself advises AGAINST outlawing them, for there are no real risks, but they are pressing for a prohibition anyhow.

Whatever happened to our beloved country, where they are taking away freedoms one by one?

Damn them all! Angry

Hello Sophia,

Oxygen can be delivered using a mouth piece, instead of the more conventional mask. I use a mouth piece, much prefer it. This may help with the sinus issue.

As for finding (Such a thing) there in Copenhagen. Why not do a little reading, & farm your own, it's really not that difficult, & there are many who would be willing to help you achieve this.

Another alternative would be to give the LSA seeds a try. They can be bought over the internet.

Do as much reading as you can before embarking on the CB treatment first...Ask those who have gone down this path before you, there are many on this site who are more than willing to help you. The better informed you are, the more chance you stand of gaining a PF status.

Whatever....The best of luck to you.

CArl...

sofia you can use a hydrater (i don't know what there called) with your o2 and that would help your sinuses. see pic and notice the canister. (thanks bbz)

I expected to see more, stand up to be counted. I suppose some of us after finding the help we needed, moved on to more important things. Things like qaulity family time, a favorite past time and a life that wasn't run by CH. That is a happy thought for me.
However I do miss some of those people that helped me so much in the beginning. Wish they'd check in, either here or at Cluster Busters.
Where ever they are, Cheers! Sophie

Sophia,

What CArl said.....

LSA seeds (rivea corembosa (sp?)) can be order over the internet and will be shipped to you. They are very inexpensive, and, from personal experience, are very effective in not only shortening my cycles, but stopping them from ever starting.

The seeds are perfectly legal to purchase and possess in all countries, I believe. It is illegal to ingest them however. So, purchase away - plant at few in your garden and you will have lovely Morning Glory flowers later.

Please feel free to PM me and I'll be more than happy to walk you through the methods that I have found to be so successful.

Sandy

I stand up to be counted too...

I have tried shrooms on this cycle, and it helped a lot. Since I'm somewhat of a chicken, I really didn't do much, but it still helped! Right now, I'm on my 6th PF day!! Hurray for me!! I had a hard time finding them though (of all people, my Mom bought them for me; never thought she would buy me drugs! Cheesy

) so I started them pretty late in my cycle. I think I'll try the seeds next time around...

I did shrooms just for fun years back through a cycle to get my mind off it before even discovering this site or a neuro doctor. Only to find out I didn't have a single CH for a week and then did them again the following weekend with the same results. The only reason I haven't done them since is because they're hard to find. I don't give a rats ass if they're illegal. PF is the key here.

The next batch I hear of being around, i'll be stocking up and they're way cheaper than meds.

When the PAIN starts, I FIGHT back!

Rivea Corymbosa seeds were my KO punch, now D3 is the front runner!

A friend called to tell me of this thread, and I knew I had to come and give CB's a shout out.

I haven't been on the board in a long time, but those who remember me will also remember the hell I have had with these damn things. I've been chronic since day one, and not just a meager two or three a day hits. A good day for me is 7 or 8......a bad day is one every hour, day and night.

Shrooms were the only things that ever gave me any relief. Did they cure me? No. Did they give me relief? YES!!! I think I went around two weeks without a hit. In my case, that is unheard of.

Conventional meds came close to killing me. I accidently mixed my triptans and ended in a hospital. I am a firm believer in the fact that regular meds will kill you much faster than anything that is gently grown by nature.

As others have posted, this is a personal decision. Do your research, read, talk to others and then make up your mind. I can't think BobW enough for his help. He has done what no other has done to help cluster suffers.

This is my first cycle in close to 5 years. I could have sworn the RC seeds would help because they helped a good friend who was chronic. No such luck, and believe me I dosed correctly, detoxed, all that good stuff. I have oxygen which is awesome, and I know that does not help some people. I would support any efforts to legalize, educate, etc. because it helps others. But I appreciate reading the posts here from those it did not really help and needed to look elsewhere. There is a chance that my cycle is less intense because of the doses, hard to tell since it's been so long since my last cycle. I have a bottle of pred I keep staring at, but I may just stick with the O2. The anecdotal evidence on this board regarding pred problems make me very nervous. I may try to get a stash of the stronger stuff to have around in case of another cycle in the future and see if that helps. Right now, all I can get are those seeds. Even if I procure the other by the time I get a cycle it's always gone bad. Good fortune for those who broke their cycle with those, I wish I had been that lucky. For now, I am just spending my nights chasing attack ramp-ups every 2-3 hours with my trusty 02 bottle. I will be happy when it passes. For those pain-free thanks to this, kiss the ground for me will ya? I should be in that nirvana in a few more weeks or so.

Hello All, I thought I'd check in and tell you all my good news! Next month it will be three years since I was in cycle. Never ever been that long pf before. I don't maintenance dose regularly but if I get a twinge I dose. Always with shrooms or seeds. Its certainly changed my life. I'll always be grateful to Clusterbusters. As far as legality is concerned...I couldn't give a rats arse. After all, its illegal to commit suicide too!

LOL! Sophie, this thread has gone to 9 pages !!!! I'd say a lot of people stood up to be counted. Also no one has gone away where the "alternatives" are concerned. There are always many people here to answer questions or lead someone in the right direction. Here, as well as cluster-busters site.

Hurt people.....hurt people. Think about it.
