I cured my cluster headaches!!!
May 7^th, 2010 at 4:21am

I began having migraines at age 13 which then progressed to CH in adulthood. I remember my first CH lasting for what seemed like an eternity, I was mid-air when it happened and they actually did an emergency landing because they thought I was having a stroke due to the right side of my face drooping.

That was years ago. I'm happy to say that I have not had one CH, migraine or even a headache in almost 2 years.

I used to get them 3-4 times a week no matter what and I am sure you all know the cocktails of pills and shots you go through to get rid of them. Well, I'm off medication, I'm done with doctors, I'm free of pain.

I went to go see a chiropractor for my back on an un-related issue in northern CA and what I found was way more than back relief, I no longer have CH!!! I had them at least 3 times a week continuously for yeeeeaaaars and now I have nothing!

I recommend that ANYONE with migraines or CH see a chiropractor. He did for me what no Western doc was able to do with their fancy MRIs and pills. A simple x-ray revealed a tiny, little kink in my neck. Pop and some traction took care of it and within a few weeks I was CH free.

As it turns out, doctors x-rayed me as well but they are looking for entirely different things than what chiropractors seek. They kept missing what was right in front of them.

And chiropractors are so much cheaper too! It took me a good 4 chiros before I found Dr. Wagnon but he got rid of them and no amount of gratitude can ever explain how much that CHANGED MY LIFE!

I am no longer a slave to my CH. If ANYONE suffers from these, TRY A CHIROPRACTOR and have them focus on your headaches. It cant hurt any more than the CH does and it cant cost anymore than is already being taken away from you by your CH.

I cant scream it enough! GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR FOR YOUR CH!!! Take this from a 13 year CH sufferer. THEY'RE GONE! Grin

I'm glad the chiro worked for you. It certainly didn't for me. Any chiro will tell you it helps, but there even less knowledgeable than some of these dingbat doctors.

I just don't want to burst your bubble, but if you really have CH and was diagnosed correctly by a neurologist or pain management specialists you need to realize that you're probably in a long remission. Some have had remission up to 15 years and guess what, they WEREN'T cured. They came back, so enjoy your remission time. A pain free day is a good day.

Just hear me out, "there is no cure for CH".

Peace,
Chad

I think in the long run, the cluster cure may lie in the spinal/neck region. Glad you've found releif! \m/

Tatty........hundreds of true CH sufferers have gone to a chiropractor for relief. The only relief they have received is from some of the secondary effects of fighting CH, the tight shoulders and back etc.

It's a pleasant thought to think that after 31 years of battling these, someone popping my neck and putting me in traction for 5 minutes would "cure" me. It's also a pleasant thought to think I'll win the lottery today. Both have about the same statistical odds of coming true.

Yes, absolutely no need to post this in more than one place. Roll Eyes

First of all THERE IS NO CURE FOR CH.

Second we have a very prominent sufferer here by the name of Doug Wright who is a Chiropractor and he says that any practictioner that says that chiro. can help, ease or in ANY way stop CH is a quack. PERIOD!!! It may be helpful for a lot of other ailments, but CH isn't one of them.

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

I assume that an even $15K would not have worked but if someone wants to try an even $15K, PM me..... I'll give you the address.

I believe that many folks posting about their "cure" truly believe they have something valuable to share with the CH community.

As pointed out some may have simply gone into a period of remission and have a future wakeup call coming. Their doctor should have the knowledge, and take time to inform them that relief is only temporary, that they are not "cured" if they are a true CH sufferer.

Others may believe they’ve found a way to overcome this disorder and never suffer again. Unfortunately, this is an indication of a difficulty many of us has experienced – getting a valid diagnosis in the first place. There’s little value in improper treatments and suffering needlessly because a doctor provided a patient with a diagnosis that didn’t fit... and patient simply accepted the diagnosis.

Take responsibility for doing the homework. It's easy to accept the first diagnosis thrown your way - but difficult to keep looking until you are certain you have the right answer.

Glad to hear you’ve been “cured”, my prayer for you is that you are "cured" and that the doctor that diagnosed you with CH was simply wrong.

Best Wishes

Glad it worked for you too! But all it did was make mine 10 times worse. I thought I had cured my headaches a dozen times only to become to realize that they just went away only to return again and again.
Occipital nerve block was the only cure for me and has kept me going for over 12 years now. Took me 15 years to finally be diagnosed by my family doctor (who I hadn't been to in years because I had moved off and was going to college) and another year to finally get relief from a doctor who deals with CH type problems and has had great results from this treatment.
Sure hope and pray that you are cured but one can never be 100% sure.
Alcohol, nicotine and stress were my main triggers, after no more drinking and smoking they were less intense and didn't seem to last as long. As for stress that is something we all have to deal with on an individual basis. Good luck and God Bless, Curtice

Do ya think? The author of this thread has only made 2 posts and has not returned to back up his "cure". Stirring the pot I guess.

I fully agree! There is no cure!!! I got my doc off the Nat'l Headache Foundation site. He holds five medical degrees, one of which is chiropractic medicine. So, I try the chiropractic approach every year. I recently went two years HA free as well. While I counted my blessings for being PF, in no way shape or form did I think I was CURED. Seriously, enjoy your PF time but don't just assume you are cured. But I hope you do stay in REMISSION.
