CH according to Bejeeber:

Strictly relying on doctors for CH treatment is often a prescription that will keep you in a whole lot of PAIN. Doctors are WAY behind in many respects, and they are usually completely unaware of the benefits of high flow 100% O2.

There are lots of effective treatments documented at this site. Take matters into your own hands, learn as much as you can here and at clusterbusters.com, put it into practice, then tell this CH beast Jeebs said hello right before you bash him so hard with a swift uppercut knockout punch that his stupid horns go flinging right off.

A polite warning to the well intentioned newer people on this board, concerned with our treatment of head stand boy. This happens a lot.

A person will show up, post something guaranteed to raise a ruckus, act angry when it does, and then leave in a huff. NEWSFLASH!!!!!! They're not for real. They go to forums such as ours specifically to raise hell and then leave. I affectionately call them 2 and done posters. One post to start trouble...one for his or her grand exit.

Please don't cry tears about how now they'll never get any help. If they really want help, they can read to their hearts content. We specifically DO NOT require membership to visit and access all the info on our board. He can always re register under a whole new name and start again....if he is for real.....which I still very much doubt.

That being said, those of us who have been here a while will always call BS when these 2 and done posters show up with their off the wall remedies. The one in a million chane it will work is not worth the number of people it will send down the wrong road. To further relieve your worry, our "pharmacist" has been regularly visiting the board to keep an eye on all the rukus he caused.....they like to do that, it's like how arsonists always come back to watch the fire they set!

So with that being said, let's get back to helping REAL people, in REAL pain with REAL solutions. It's what we do between dealing with people like head stand boy.

Joe

Excellent, excellent post.

Have seen the same behavior on Nursing forums I belong to and know firsthand as a moderator on some of them.

It's exhausting, yet, sometimes entertaining in an odd way. Always interesting to see how many trolls pop up in a given time period.

Giving credit where credit is overwhelmingly due, however, to this board where the folks here tirelessly give their support and answers over and over and over again. That can be difficult in and of itself, but SO appreciated!!

Well, this is quite a group. I left my last message weeks ago and had decided to leave this site alone. However, today, as I am planning a 3-4 week trip to Italy again, I was arranging my favorites box and ran across this site and decided to look in. Thousands of visits and 83 insulting messages later, I was in stitches. Let me make a few points and then leave for another 12 months or so.
#1. I am a pharmacist. I have been a pharmacist for 35 years. However, 28 of those years I was a specialty salesman for Eli Lilly, selling everything from Insulin to growth hormone for the little people. I finished in the cath labs and ICUs selling ReoPro and Xigris, a blood thinner and a drug used to save lives in severe sepsis. Loved it all and retired 3 years ago. Now I am back working part time as a pharmacist. Pharmacy has changed in 30 years. Before we had only one or two people who were hooked on narcs, sleepers or anti anxiety drugs. Today it is around 1 in 5 customers are drug heads. They become stupid the longer they stay on this junk. Many say, "this is strange, a pharmacist who doesn't like drugs". Well, there are two types of pharmacists. Those who don't like drugs and those who loose their license because they do. Enough said.
#2. I watched the videos of the cluster headaches on youtube. Yes, that seems to be the general feeling that I have when I get one. I have to hang on to something and have a panic of what to do. An urgency that I have to do SOMETHING to make the pain (it feels like I have a knife in the right side of my head) go away. My diagnosis is, sadly, correct. The doctor who dealt with me in the ER was very familiar with the condition as she had done some internal residency at the Mayo
Clinic that included studying the Cluster Headache syndrome. She seemed quite confident that I have CH and that is enough for me. I have not been a headache sufferer throughout my life. Most headaches that I have had were mildly irritating and usually caused by not eating. CHs should not even be called headaches. There should be another word invented. For those so convinced that I don't have CHs, I wish you were right.
#3. My headstands still work for me so I really don't give a hang what anyone thinks. I am ecstatic that I have the ability to stop these monsters in their tracks. My only hope in posting my post was that I could help someone else. I never suspected that I had the "cure" to CHs. Rather, I had found something that worked for me and maybe, just maybe, it would help another. I had no idea that I had landed a A-bomb on a society of haters. Happily, though, my CHs have diminished to once or twice a week, always late in the evening (which is great as I am not sure about it would look to do a headstand behind the counter)
#4. To all of those who so smugly KNOW that I am a fake, non-pharmacist, don't have CHs, am a "troll" (what ever the hell that is), etc..............all I can say is that you are so wrong that it makes me chuckle. Also, with regards to your spiritual guru, Mr DJ, I find a disconnect between the goals of this website as he wrote lofty ideals and rules for "sharing, no attacks on one another, no foul language, treat one another with respect, a forum for civil interaction, etc." with the way he attacked me with vengence and four letter mud. He is obviously the best person to lead this motley pack of pariah.

Rick,

If what your last post says is true please understand that we DO get a lot of people who lurk and stalk, our "home" (trolls)and then post ridiculous cures or try to sell us there "medicine". I had a guy recently send me a PM asking me to sell him illegal drugs which I had no access to to begin with and then mentioned his "cure" was to wrap an ace bandage with a rock in it around his head, and that is not even close to the most ridiculous cure I have seen, We are a sensitive group by nature due to the fact that most of us were misdiagnosed (or undiagnosed) for many years before being told what we have, because well meaning friends and family tell us to take an aspirin and go lay down because that works for them (and many more of those types), because no ONE understands our pain, and because we want to protect our first time readers from believing that the 1 in a million "cure" will work for them. We want our new people to get 02 first and foremost, we want them to use PROVEN techniques to abort their attacks, we do Not want anyone to suffer needlessly. I am sorry that you feel you have been attacked and disparaged however I believe it is not done out of maliciousness but more like a mother protecting her children. Good luck with your trip and if you are who you say you are (and I believe you may be) then I wish you continued success with your method and I understand you were coming from a good place with it but so are we.
