Sorry to hear your in so much pain there. It does suck, especially with no meds.
I have just gone for about two months or so in a bad CH cycle with no insurance and no meds and it has been absolute hell. The only thing that I took which definitely helped was the shroom treatment. It actually gave me about three or four days of virtually pain free existence. (Bliss) and, I think, broke the back of my cycle.
I am hoping it will stop. Have gone from the insanity of numerous long duration k7's to k10's daily and nightly to perhaps 1 k8 a night. And only minor(k2-7s) short duration CH's a couple of times a day. I attribute the improvement to one thing. The shroom treatment. I have not repeated it yet. If the beast comes back strong, I will.
The shroom treatment took me from suicidal pain levels and a general state of confusion and 'losing my mind' to a toned down 'losing my mind' state. It is a bit controversial but I would strognly recommend it myself. Especially to those who do not have access to "traditional meds".
Anyway, I have been very busy lately and not on the board. I have trolled through it a couple of times though and I wanted to say that your posts are appreciated.
It seems like I have been living a nightmare for months now... And now that I am waking up a bit, I can only hope that I have not offended anyone or anything... Sigh.
Good luck and wishing much PFT to ya. Hang in there! It's gonna get better! You just gotta be there when it does...
Love, Michael B
