I'm really happy that Depakote works for you. I'm also happy that you are satisfied with your belief that your bi-polarism is directed connected to your clusters.
What makes me really unhappy, however, is your wish that the 'beast feed on the inner circle'. There are so many things just wrong about that, Gordon. First of all, there is no inner circle. There are some of us who have been here for a long time and have come to be friends. No crime there. But more importantly, as a cluster sufferer how could you, in good conscience, ever wish a cluster headache on another living being? You, of all people intimately understand what a terribly cruel thing that is to say.
You kind of answered your own sarcastic question about the Waterx3 button, and I quote: "If it helps just one person, isn't it worth it?" Asked and answered.
As to your 'thinking outside the box comment', again, that's exactly how some of these treatments (that, for some reason appear totally unacceptable to you) all started, Gordon. While you're doing your research, why don't you (just for giggles) type in "shrooms" and read all the flack that Flash took for his idea initially?
You've made you point about the Depakote and the bi-polarism. But you're missing our point though. Not every clusterhead IS bi-polar. Depakote does NOT work for every clusterhead. Why can't you accept that? And why does that make you want to wish a cluster headache on anyone? I guess I must be stuck inside the box, because I just don't get that.
