Brand new here - need some help
    #26950830 - 09/23/20 10:20 AM (3 years, 4 months ago)

Hi!  I'm brand new to Shroomery after lurking around a bit... and, aside from my own reading, pretty much new to all things mushroom-related.  I created this account because I really need some friendly help and I think I'm in the right place.

I'm a male, mid-thirties, healthy.  Family/career etc.  No past drug use.  But I get these migraine headaches.  First it was off an on for years but recently it's been almost daily migraines, sometimes for weeks on end.  I'm not getting the horror-story "cluster" headaches (thank God!) but these migraines seriously suck.  Full-on aura, visual interference, throbbing, mood swings, nausea, physical tension, cravings, restlessness... the whole cruel roller coaster on any given day at any given velocity.  Painkillers help the immediate throbbing, but nothing really solves the problems.  I don't want to live on a steady diet of pills, which is pretty much all the doctor can offer besides typical advice.
Some days are a real battle to even get through the day at a reasonably functional level.  I have responsibilities. I really do have to function, and perhaps even be a kind and friendly human being while I function.  Migraines make both of those really difficult.
Every time I think I figured out to to manage or prevent the headaches, they come back a couple of months later.  These last few weeks have been some of the worst ones yet.

I've been doing a lot of research and I'm really intrigued by the data and anecdotal support of psilocybin's being helpful for migraines.  After spending time here, reading a couple of books, a few research papers, and viewing podcasts/lectures, psilocybin etc. seems to be the one bright spot in all the other useless chatter out there about how to help address these headaches.

Somebody reading this knows what I need to do next.  If that's you, please help me out.  I think there's a message function or something... feel free to reply and/or drop me a line so we can get a conversation started.

Gratefully yours...

I used to get crazy migraines. My doctor prescribed me oxygen. I noticed when I smoked a shit ton of weed I’d be susceptible to them if I got stressed out. Oxygen really does work. I dont use O2 anymore but you can buy little cans at Big 5. Anything to abort a migraine is really helpful. I also found out increasing my breathing rate slowed them down. I’d eat spicy foods to make this happen. I’ve tripped on a lot of psychs. You would need to microdose daily to prevent migraines. It has to do with Serotonin. You just want to make sure you don’t trip the fuck out cuz that could go very bad.

Hey there👋 sorry to hear about your headaches that really must suck, I've read about psilocybin reducing headaches and really interested to follow this post hopefully someone with some knowledge on this topic can chip in and help you out more.

Maybe start with a microdose and see if any improvement happens, I'd be cautious of taking a full dose incase it does not help your headaches then you have to endure the trip while possible having an intense headache🙏

Hey friend,

It seems you've decided cubes might be what you need. If that's the case it's time to grow! Learn about the PF TEK and check out our Sponsor forum for reliable spore vendors. You can have mushies in about five weeks.

Hope this helps!

Welcome to the Shroomery!

You are in luck, in our Psychedelic Medicine, Research & Microdosing forum was just started The Official Cluster Busters Thread which deals with use of psilocybin mushrooms in treating cluster headaches and other migraines, by and for migraineurs and others in the know.
