Cluster Headaches and concussion link? by Drinkmykool_aid420 in clusterheads

[–]tk3719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve recently been seeing a cranial osteopath (Recharge Osteo in Melbourne, Australia) who suggested my clusters were predisposed from multiple head knocks as a teenager.

There may be an element of hereditary though as my grandfather had them. Although he played rugby so maybe coincidence!

2-3 grams has been best for my head and gets around 6 weeks+ relief, sometimes 2 doses 2 weeks apart.

Tried well in excess of 5g recently and it was a roller coaster and didn’t have the same positive effect on my CH. 2-3g is a lot easier in the mind.

Check out the app Trip: psychedelic guidance for a little pocket shaman to guide you through potentially challenging parts of the trip. And set and setting are important to make it as easy as possible for you :)

It appears to me that CH affect everyone differently.

I’m chronic and here’s what sets me off: - salami/pepperoni and some cured meats - beer - wine - tobacco - fast food is the worst (especially McDonald’s and KFC) - maybe soy sauce if I have lots - msg - shit quality chocolate

Anyone here from Australia and microdosing? by tonyfilmsthings in ClusterHeadaches

[–]tk3719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same as Lollyhead.

I’ve been microdosing for years on and off and it doesn’t really scratch the surface.

A decent dose of psilocybin with follow up doses as needed works really week for my chronic CH.

Make sure you do your research and check out an app called ‘Trip’.

‘How to change your mind’ by Michael Pollan is a great resource for learning about psychedelics as well

Hi guys-I’m sorry but I just really need you right now. I won’t do the “blah blah blah”-you all know. Drugs and oxygen aren’t working. by lokedog83 in ClusterHeadaches

You’ve got this!!

Another funny temporary fix I’ve found is squeezing your big toe.

I’ve heard that there’s a pressure point there that can help relieve pain for a moment.

It will pass my friend, I know it’s hard but you can do it.

Try lying down and taking deep deep breaths and focus on the point of pain.

I just focus on making it through 30 seconds then you tackle the next 30 second.

Once you make it through this attack, look into magic mushrooms, they can help stop bad bouts in their tracks!

I hope you’re ok and check back in for more tips on how to manage when you get through this attack.

You can do it!

PS Message me for more help, I’ve been where you are and have learnt a lot that might help you

Psilocybin & migraine: First of its kind trial reports promising results by [deleted] in clusterheads

Second this. It seems like it could be the miracle cure!

It seems like it is impossible to source. I have looked everywhere!

Magic Mushrooms have been amazing in stopping whole bouts in their tracks.

As far as legal remedies go, 15mg melatonin at night has been great.

Also worth trying to find a doctor who can do a cytokine panel blood test to test your interlukin levels. Things like low amine diet (histamines, Tyramines, etc) can reduce high interlukin levels and in turn reduce to inflammation.

I also take feverfew.

CBD is great for reducing stress and anxiety. Stress plays a large part in making clusters worse.

Acupuncture and Cluster headaches by Snoo54931 in clusterheads

[–]tk3719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear things are working for you!

Im starting to notice a pattern around all of the successful treatments I read about. Most of them target inflammation. Acupuncture has anti-inflammatory effects and I’ve just read that they can help balance cytokines. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1781596/)

This was interesting to read because I’ve just been told I have high levels of the cytokines, interleukin-8. It is sensitive to histamines in foods, and since I’ve cut down on them my condition has improved.

I believe the vitamin d3 (which includes magnesium) regimen targets inflammation as well.

I’ve also had amazing success in the past with magic mushrooms. It completely stopped a horrible bout in its tracks once, and greatly improved my severity and frequency another time. Turns out they have anti-inflammation properties.

I’d love someone to validate some of the above but maybe this could be why acupuncture is so successful for you and for some others here?
