Has this happened to anyone?? By chance... a friend of mine put peppermint oil on my neck because I have a knot! As I am positive we all have!! I don't know if it helped the knot because the biggest difference was CLARITY! My head did not hurt! I've been in this cluster since September and last week added migraine! It's not bad! Clusters to the left, migraine to the right! They like to occur together so I've pretty much given up on sanity for now! Luckily my husband has been wonderful about massaging my head and letting me be a bitch!! ANYWAY...I've stayed away from such strong smells as peppermint essential oil because in toothpaste and gum it bothers me because my olfactory is so sensitive!!! BUT...I could see straight! Even driving on the highway with some dipshit who didn't shut off his hi beams!! I'm breathing easier because I'm not waiting for the little beast to morph into control! I put a little bit of oil straight out of the bottle(apparently you are not suppose to put it undiluted on your skin) onto the back of my neck! Then WOW! I hope this continues to work! IMAGINE not being confused from a morphine drip!! I'd much rather be a peppermint junkie!
love you guys!
