Re: Any clusterheads here perhaps .... ?

[Guest guest]

Hello Hannah,

Welcome to the list!

My hubby has cluster headaches too and I worry because he takes rather a lot

of Excedrin Migraine which I feel cannot be good for him.

I recently read that gluten intolerance can be a cause of frequent

headaches. If it was me, I would cut out all bread, cakes and pastries,

just to see if it helps, but that would be too difficult for my hubby :-(

I'll have to see if I can find the reference, but it turns out that a heck

of a lot of people are gluten intolerant.

Cheers,

and the K9's

> could it be that there are any clusterheads in the room?

If YES, I would love to be in contact with you, I am kinda making

this my live's work to solve the clusterheadaches that my hubby has,

Reaction to all others too who responded to my request ...

We have tried a diet avoiding: histamine, sugar, tyramine, and some

other things. We never found any relation to his diet but I know for

sure some clusterheadaches are related to foods. Gluten intolerance

could be an item, but am I right that you would expect other symptoms

as well, you would expect the bloated belly, diarrhea, and all that

other stuff that shows you're intolerant of gluten. But I could

surely test that on him (using electro-acupuncture), so thanks for

the tip.

You don't wanna KNOW how much I've searched, how much I've tried, how

much I have sought for remedies to work, I've spent nights up in my

room, while Jos was screaming downstairs, couldn't sleep anyway, just

reading and reading the materia medica, looking for clues. I want so

much to help him, not just the clusterheadache, but also the

depression, and lonelyness.

By the way, I wonder how much I could post in this group, I mean I

don't want to be out of line, but if I would mention something that

might be ... ehm ... controversial ... well, it's legal in Holland

but I know for sure it's illegal in other countries ... suppose I'd

better mention that off-line huh? Or is this group's spirit based on

if it helps, it helps, and you can speak freely of it.

Could a moderator fill me in on that, or perhaps you would like to

mod my post first before it's placed. You would be welcome to do just

that you know.

I don't have much time now, I'm kinda busy on another subject right

now and studying for an exam, but will check in to read the

reactions, and will take it from there.

Thanks for the welcome.

Hannah

PS I know the imigran, it was the only thing Jos was willing to take

after he had a medicine poisening and almost lost his life over that.

Nasty stuff but always better then ergotamines and steroids.
