Cluster Headache - No More!

I suffered cluster headaches for 18 years, which consisted of clusters of about 5 weeks, 3 times a year. My last cluster was over 2 years ago at the age of 52. I think as I got older, it took me longer and longer to recover and I had less tolerance to them. After lots of supposed treatments - Sumatriptan etc. I stumbled over a blog of an old fighter pilot who after years cured himself with a small cocktail of 4 vitamins / minerals. In desperation I tried his recommendation. This was 2 years and 4 months ago (who is counting) and been cluster free ever since! The cocktail is simply daily supplements of Magnesium, Vitamin D, Selenium & Zinc. Taken daily after your last cluster (won't do much if you are in a cluster - nothing does!). You having nothing to lose trying this and I would like to hear of your success. I don't know the science behind this, but, I do know that, for me, it worked!

Thanx for sharing bradrob 😁

I have a friend who had treatment by neurology on a trial for clusters. She has hardly had one for 3mths after yrs of suffering. High dose of histamine is all she took!

She has prevention meds but nothing i know because she's on a trial. It gives hope help is coming !!

Be well 👍

Similar to the above but for 'normal' migraines, after trying everything under the sun for migraines the thing which has had the most impact for me is daily Vit B2, Magnesium and Co-Enzyme Q10.... 0 side effects!

That is very encouraging to hear but I am a chronic sufferer with very few 'days off'. Does this mean the regimen won't work for me?

Just start taking this combination and see if it helps over the following six weeks. I hope it helps you.

Bradrop, you know that's interesting. I have my Neuro who wanted to do a blood test for some of those items...I should know the results shortly. No, maybe I know why.

Thanks for this advice. So glad you've found you cure. I suffer with Hemicrania Continua which is similar to CH but I know no where near as painful.

Do you continue to take these vitamins daily?

Yes I do. When I do stop I can feel the early warning signs of an onset a cluster. I never travel without them. A side effect of this is I have not had a cold in the same period. Which is nice side effect to have.😊
