Shrooms for Cluster Headaches

After struggling with this horribly painful condition known as 'Cluster or Suicide' headaches for about 3 years I decided to resort to a desperate act. I was going back to my youth on a shroom trip. Except this time with fewer than I had ever experienced before. Why? Shrooms help sufferers of cluster headaches and I was going to see if it was true.

I had some old dried ones stashed away so on the onset of the 'beast' one night I hauled them out and ate 3. Well precisely 7 minutes later it was gone. The sumatriptin injections or oxygen I inhale from a bottle takes at least 15 minutes. That’s a saving of 8 minutes of intense agony.

But that’s not all. It was 5 days before they struck again. 5 days of no pain for the first time in 3 years. It was the best wave I ever surfed and the best trip.

I take them regularly now. They haven’t cured the condition but allow me much-needed remissions. There is however a downside, in that the body develops tolerances so I have to limit to only once a month (so I take a bigger dose and sometimes enough to have some fun, but it doesn’t work any better than just a tiny dose). The good thing is I can even take shrooms at work because the dosage is so small, there are no psychotropic effects.
