I have never posted to the board before, and have reservations about posting today. However, I have such good news that I felt like someone else may benefit from my experience.
I know that there are several folks who post here who are stricken with both the “m” type of headache and clusters. I got the double whammy and have been stricken with both. I was checking out some headache sites, hoping to find updated information or just maybe something that might help me. For the last two weeks, I have been so down – having to work doped up and feeling like crap when I get home. But I have kept both headaches at bay. I found an interesting article regarding the use of magnesium for treatment of “m”s (sorry, I’m scared to say the word). I started taking the mineral three days ago, and even though I’m a misbeliever in such remedies, I feel so much better that I wanted to pass the word around. Something has changed, and this is the only change that I have made to my usual cocktail of meds which I take daily.
Again, only info for folks that have both kinds, but very interesting to say the least. I’m hoping for some good days, and a wonderful New Year for all of you.
