I have had a history of 'cluster headaches' since the age of 18yrs. These 'attacks' are cyclic and fly in each year, bringing in up to 6 attacks a day/night of immense (insane levels) of pain. These attacks can go on for up to 12 weeks. Over the years, I have researched and paid for many different types of medication and natural therapies. Nothing helps. However the one thing that helps 'the minority group' around the world is a small dose of magic mushrooms; to be taken when one is 'well' and not in a cycle. This dose will stop the yearly cycle kicking in. The 'psilocybin' in the mushroom (which is the hallucinogenic component) gets stored in the brain (in the hypothalamus gland) as Serotonin ... and it works! Scientifically, they are happy to announce that the hypothalamus is dysfunctional - (it controls many aspects of daily bodily functions). Recently I read that 'they' have discovered a mutant gene, which is prevalent in CH'ers. This gene is also prominent among insomniacs. Who knows! Wondering what you could channel to help me and my understanding of this disease. I would also be curious whether or not - all CH'ers carry similar issues in conjunction with 'this crappy thing to live with'. Love and hugs
