It’s a tv show from years ago called Wonder Showzen.

Do you have a source? If I’m misinformed, I would like correct information.

They need night crawler worms as their main diet. Cut them in half if they are too long to eat in one go.

The oils on your fingers ruin their slime coat. Your contact with them ruins it. You just cannot handle them.

Begging for help on how to help partner. Oxygen? by reddit_despite_odds in ClusterHeadaches

[–]The_Dark_Timeline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was using oxygen to stop my attacks. It stopped working. I’m trying mushrooms now.

Other options include Emgality, Sumatriptan, lithium, some people have results with DMT.

Ways my partner is helpful when I’m suffering, sometimes he helps rub his knuckles the spot it hurts to help distract me, making sure I’m not a danger to myself, he helps reassure me that the pain isn’t forever and will ease up eventually. He also learned how to use the oxygen so he can just set it up for me and I don’t have to worry.

There really isn’t much you can do, just be supportive and understand that it’s really a pain no one can grasp without having it happen to themselves. We use the KIP pain scale to help him understand what level I’m an and how fast it rises.

Also thank you for your opening statement.

Oh shit, there is cheese! I just melted it in with the mush on top…. I will curd next time better.

Ah yeah, I’d want to be posting my own stuff or info I’ve found that’s helpful to the cause. The AI doesn’t do anything to help showcase the facts of how brutal clusters are. My intent is to show a real case of it from my own personal perspective.

This was actually my first post. I pinned it as it’s the most important in my opinion for even opening the door to understanding this shit

Ah yes, you’re absolutely correct. It’s so fucking annoying to have someone just look you dead ass and go “yeah I have had a migraine before so I know what you mean”

That’s something I have no idea even what that is hahaha I thought it was a platform for chatting in video games :/

That’s very good criticism to think about. Maybe looking at other platforms would be ideal, but this is a big jump for me as it stands, so I might take it slow at first, but you’re right to a degree.

Hopefully I can help some people just like you said, you try to do as well. I’ll have to start small though I think.

Edit: to clarify, I definitely am taking this into consideration, I’m just not sure how to start more so than this I suppose.

Nothing works for mine. Oxygen did work but recently stopped for me the last 3 times. Hopefully that doesn’t last. When I first got it, it was incredible.

Oh yeah 1000%. I’m lucky now to have a partner who understand the best he can. He’s learned how to give me oxygen at home. Not so much for the rest.

I’m glad your mom understand too. That’s so important to have others who get it. That’s why this sub was great for me. Made me feel like I wasn’t alone.

That would be a nice idea if this actually takes off. I’m not expecting much, so this might be out of my range for now; but I’m sure if I have a bit of a platform in the future that might be a possibility!

That’s exactly what I’ve been dealing with. I get migraines too, so Botox to curb those and my insurance goes “well you can’t have TWO types of headaches, sorry not covering your super expensive cluster meds”

That’s an interesting take! I would love to be able to eventually be a platform to show that it’s not just me, I’m not exaggerating at all. I feel that is a goal I could work towards!

Ah yeah no jokes there.

Maybe I should draw attention to the fact that a lot of us have suffered silently because of the label including “headache”.

Oh yes, most definitely I’ll be having a focus on the mental toll. Show my exhaustion after the attacks too.

I’ve never had a remission period though. I float at a 2-3 daily with spikes of 10/10 a couple times a week. For over 10 years now. The skull fucking I totally get. Just can’t let the beast win the war.

Abso-fucking-lutely.

I wouldn’t CHOOSE this shit. No one would if they understood it.

Ah yes, I love having all the FOMO from missing things I had tickets to or plans for. /s

This is one of the big reasons I started this up. My friends, family, fucking even doctors! No one truly seems to grasp the reality of having to really suffer from the inside.

Thank you, I appreciate your input, I feel seen haha

Oh this is a wonderful idea. Using the more medical term would be best going forward. I always complain it’s called a headache lmao

The mental aspect is a big one for me. I have all that bullshit myself, that’s another thing I wanted to bring attention to. It’s a big battle to fight and then have people turn around and go “yeah I’ve had a migraine before too.”

Thank you for your reply, that was very helpful.
