Anyone else suffer cluster headaches?

Cluster headaches are the most painful thing I have ever dealt with, Does anyone else have experience with them? There is alot of research stating that psilocybin can help cure these for me, I have gotten them for a few years now, and have always been a recreational user, Now that I think about it, cluster headaches completely go away after eating cubes, for about 6 months, and now that it has been a while, i am getting them full force 2-3 times a day.
Does anyone else have experience with this?
I have seen alot of people very eager to try cubes as a treatment for them on support forums, but i think most of the people there are very leery about the legality of it as a good portion of them are not recreational users, so if they have cultivated it's secretive and not many people are willing to post the results of said treatment if administered illegally.
There are whole organizations dedicated to researching cluster headache relief through use of LSD/Psilocybin Cluster busters is one of them
And assuming most don't know what cluster headaches are, Look at my avatar, or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cluster_headache
Sorry if this is a repost, But im looking for people here that can confirm this working as the people at the cluster support forums are leery to give info on this.

LSA used to be on the market to help with them. You can find it in Hawaiian Baby Woodrose seeds or in its cousin, Morning Glory seeds. makes sure they are 100% organic without pesticides on them. Some people vomit on them, some dont. Goodluck.

If it works for you order more online. its cheaper that way and most places ship by weight and not number of seeds. My last order of "100" was actually 175.

Yes, I can confirm certain mushrooms can stop cluster headaches. It's also not just the psilocybe mushrooms, but shiitake will prevent cluster headaches too. Since making that post, I still haven't had a single outbreak. RR

Shiitake may not break an active cluster headache outbreak, but eating them three times a week will stop future ones, at least it does for me. RR

Ate a small dose of woodrose seeds last night, CH stopped, Woke up this morning feeling shadows, going to try again today, LSA makes me feel like shit however.
If this does not work, im going to use cubes, keep in mind i'm trying to break and active cluster period.
I will however try what RR said with the shitake once either the cycle ends.

You could also grow some poppies and make tea from the pods. It's not going to whack a CH out, but will lower the severity.
Several times a year, I used to have to pull over to the side of the road while driving because I couldn't even focus on the road due to the sudden smack-down from the cluster headaches. It was actually about a year after I started eating shiitake almost daily that I realized, "Gee, it's been nearly a year since I've had a cluster headache". I still haven't had any more since then.

And how is that any different than taking prescription medicine like hydrocodone? If anything, addiction potential is even greater. Yeah, it can be great to relieve the symptoms for a short while, but they'll be back. Soon. Opiates are never the answer. Psilocybin is said to stop CH and prevent them from coming for a long while, and I'm sure shiitake is extremely beneficial to your health if you eat it often. Try with P. cubensis, grow some and make capsules, 0.3-0.5 grams should be enough to stop the headache, and possibly prevent it from coming back for several months. And also you should start growing shiitake because it's such an amazingly healthy and tasty mushroom.

lunchbawks -
My dear friend suffers from cluster headaches and that is what brought me to this sight and partly what got me recently into mycology.
Please keep me informed as to how this works for you. My friend is at his last chance to find a way to prevent his episodes from returning again. He has asked me to help him. He has been on all sorts of meds over the years. The only one he found that works for him, only gets rid of the headaches and he uses it each time he gets one. Some times 5 times a day or more. His doctor says it will kill him to use as much as he dose. But he is very serious when he says if he couldn't shoot up with the meds to get rid of the pain he would shoot himself in his head. I've been with him and I truly believe him too. The only reason he is still here, is that they can go away for a few years, before returning.
Please keep me informed as to how this works for you od if you like you can contact my friend if you would like to talk about what he has done / tried. I know he actively is researching cures or preventative measures. He thinks he only needs a very small amount (.5g or 1g?) every 6 months.

Actually, they are the answer. For treating long-term pain, one might indeed get addicted. However, for a short lived but extreme event like a cluster headache, they can be a godsend. The purpose is not to get high, but to use the medicine nature has provided for us to relieve pain.
For long term relief, eat lots of mushrooms. It appears it's not just psilocybe mushrooms that give relief from CH. RR

Hello fellow cluster head. I will gladly help through pm if you need help with anything. I have tried most things for my clusters and active mushrooms and LSD are the only things that have helped, LSA didn't do anything for me. I have been chronic since 2002-03 and although mushrooms have not cured me my life is much better, pain levels are down and I have gone from 8-10 attacks a day to 0-2 at night some times more during spring and fall.
Anyway good luck with finding somthing that helps.
CH
P.S. Opiates are no good for CH! If you have a cluster headache there isn't a strong enough pain killer, you would OD before it helped the pain. Also opiates can trigger ch and cause rebound headaches.

CH HELL, so the shrooms did not keep your CH from coming back? My friend who also suffers CH thinks if he takes shrooms every 6 months after he is over his current episodes that it might keep them from coming back. I'll let my friend know that it has helped you somewhat with the pain level and amount of seizures you get.
Thank you.

Some people get completely pain free from a few doses of shrooms and a few like me get good results but not totally pain free. All I can say is if it wasn't for shrooms I would have blown my brains out a few years ago. CH

The first few times I went to the hospital for these, The Dr. said that he was not legally allowed to give me any more dilaudid for another hour, and it had literally done nothing to the CH
The headache abort did not work last night with the woodrose, after the headache was over I got pretty nauseous though , wound up getting 4 stitches in my head from smashing my forehead on the wall trying to "get the demon out" this morning, It did however provide relief from one that was coming on last night, but no ongoing relief.
A few more days and hopefully I can get some rest. I got lucky being that I have only suffered these on a few occasions, I remember getting them every day for about a month 2 years ago, then a few in between, But as part of my normal lifestyle, I was also eating cubes on a regular basis, That has changed about a year ago when I had a terrible trip, and now I start getting these again.
I cannot see how a lot of people can go so long with this, I however have only been suffering very sporadically until now, It seems there is a lot more awareness of these in emergency rooms, as they had diagnosed it there and the neurologist confirmed it after my 2nd visit. The first time I was there I was almost immediately pinned as a drug seeker, the second visit the report said I was suffering from typical cluster headache symptoms.
I have only probably had a total of 100 CH's in the past, about half being in the last month, Im really hoping some cubes give me relief.

Hey Yeah, I suffer from 'the Beast' and I'm just about to start another nightmare. I've been free for 4 years and have never used shrooms for relief as I have only just discovered that they may work.... I'm not worried about the legality, honestly, I don't give shit ( I'm in Australia ) I just want to work out how to get a supply and get well. Sean
