I probably shouldnt start this right now because the phentenol patch is starting to hjit and I'm loopiern a loonn,,,reall;y can;tsee whatim doing,
First sign of an attack, I run for the shower and boil myself.
One morning I hopped up and raced for the shower but found the water heater was broke. But, I had to do something, so i took a freezing cold chower and it worked just the same. And right as the pain begins to ease, I switch to the other extreme and that seems to kick the demon's butt right on out of there.
So...hot or cold or hot and then cold or cold and hot or whatever...
I have had escelent relief from the bizarre practice of stuffing cayenne pepper up the nostril on the side of the head with the attack.
Mix it with a little petroleum jelly and peanud buttre -- i'm kidding abpu the penutbudder dont use it or maybe it could hep...whos tried dit anyway? but really mash the hot pepopoer up in the old shnoz, far un as youu can get it. It isn't anywhere close to as bad as some try to make it out to be. If I get the cayenne started in the nostril within the first ninety to a hundred seconds, the attack usually backs down within another one to maybe as long as three minutes. If I don't get it started at least by the third minute...I've lost the battle and just surf the shower.
It's also helpful to rub it on the outside of the nose as well.
In Mexica there are folks who stick slices of habe
neros ot tobasco peppers up the nose and reealollu (ooopss.sorry about my typing going to helll likd this. i'm trying yo get tis done wuick...fading seriously.
beterdo this somother nex time
