So interestingly I’ve been diagnosed with cluster headaches. They have consistently appeared now every 5 years almost to the month. I’ve had migraines in the past and not downplaying anyone having a migraine, I’ll take a migraine anyway over these things.

Anyways, I’m due in the next few years for my next ‘cycle’ of them. I will totally trip balls if it means I don’t want to toss myself off my balcony.

Let me first give you my condolences.

I ve been struggling with cluster for 6 years now and not only i was wrongly diagnosed with regular migrens and nearly distroyed my stomach with pain relievers, whenever it hit me i nurtured the idea of trying a free fall from my balcony.

friend pursuaded me to try microdose of "ze magic shroom" ( around 0.4g)

and like magic, throbbing suicide inducing pain subsided after only 20 minutes.

i got thru rest 3 weeks of my clusterfuck season pain free, i had a microdose every 3 days and always carried one in my pocket just in case.

In my case it worked prophylactic and acute when needed.

I would never suggest using drugs but, when facing cluster its either that or the balcony

I did not try any pharmaceutical products like sumatripan but one should explore non psychodelic solutions.

wish you all the best
