Curious about remedies
Mar 8th, 2009 at 12:18am
 
I am a supporter, and my BF has had Chronic Cluster Headaches for over 5 years, and none of the traditional meds seem to work. Some internet searches have indicated that medical grade marijuana may work as an abortive, and I was wondering if anyone here has experienced such relief. I hate watching him go through these and not being able to do anything to help him. I am looking for any "Home Remedies" that may help.

Not weed...mushrooms, at least for some.  Check out clusterbusting on the OUCH web site:  Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register  Or, oxygen...I like to use ice packs myself, on the affected side.  Good luck.

I have no idea about medical grade pot, THC, the active ingredient in weed is a vasodilator. So, it might actually trigger him... Or just make his hit worse.

As for home remedies, look at Kilowatt3's thread on Synergy. That's got a lot of the natural / home remedies.

And as Ice suggested, RC seeds, or mushrooms are something that is known to help a lot of people. Make sure your boyfriend is using his 02 properly, too.

If you need info on mushrooms or the RC seeds go to Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register Good luck to you and your man.

As far as I'm concerned, cluster busting has been the best treatment I've tried. No migraines since I started it, and my hits have gotten so much better. Wanna know more?
