My wife learned Self Hypn. to help her to deliver our children with less pain. She taught it to me and I use it all the time. Self Hypnosis is not enough to get through a cluster, I just can't relax or focus enough. I t works well for my migraines and it is GREAT to help me rest between cluster attacks. Bio feedback is very similar. I learned it at Diamond Headache. Changing body temp can really help a migraine. I was able to change my temp about 3 degrees. During the learning process I would often get clusters because my attacks usually come on during relaxation. But 10 minutes of either self Hypn. or biofeedback I can feel very rested and energized. It's a great skill to have, I can't imagine not being able to use it. Keep on Dreaming MIKE L
