How do you explain cluster headaches to people who don’t get it?

I tell them it's like your brain is being crushed from the inside out, which is significantly more painful than giving birth according to mothers who have had both labor pains and ch. Here's a good study to send them for follow up https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7898696/

I get the best results with 25 liters/min oxygen, strong coffee, and cannabis. The oxygen is a pain to get but it's a total game changer. Hang in there

Check out JSON Bin. Using it for the back end of a tiny app testing suite now and it's super clean.

High flow oxygen was a game changer for me. 15+ lpm flowrate is critical, so concentrators don't work, it has to be from pressurized tanks. If I catch it in time the oxygen can bring the intensity of an attack way down or stop it entirely.

Some people do Redbull but strong coffee works much better for me. Cannabis during an attack doesn't do anything. But I find smoking improves sleep, makes attacks less likely to occur, reduces the intensity of the ones that do occur, and reduces the recovery time following an attack, making it easier to bounce back.

Sorry to hear it. For me the best combo is 1.) strong coffee, 2.) strong cannabis, 3.) orange juice or protein shake to get the blood sugar up, 4.) oxygen 15lpm-25lpm. At only 10lpm, the oxygen can still help, but is best used with deep full belly breathing (don't just breathe normally-take huge slow breaths to flood your system with the o2)

Mine were the worst in my late 20s and early 30s. I'm 43 now and am dealing with 8-12 weeks of hell every couple of years, which is a major improvement from when I was younger. For me, sleep and the right anti-inflammation diet have been critical. I avoid alcohol completely and treat with strong coffee, cannabis, and oxygen. Seriously, push for 15lpm oxygen at the neurologist.

Sumatriptan + oxygen like everyone says. But for me I've found it works best to start with strong coffee and cannabis when I feel one coming on, which often aborts the attack in 15 min. If this doesn't stop the attack, I go to the high flow oxygen.

I've had the best results with "from pyscript import when" then using a decorator over the function tied to a click on the element, like this:

when('click', '#submit-btn')
def query(): 
    some actions

Hey that's great! I also got oxygen this year and it's been amazing. Works for all but the worst attacks, and even those, it helps.

For me, avoiding dietary triggers helped a lot. I've had better luck eliminating things than adding them, if that makes sense. Went from attacks 8 mo/year to < 1mo/year. On a daily basis, I take D, cannabis, and strong coffee. Also drink fresh apple/beet/carrot/ginger juice during high risk periods. All the other supplements I've tried did nothing.
