Technique for SPG block without catheter for patients
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.3 года назад
A simple procedure to treat cluster headache attacks - known as a sphenopalatine ganglion block (SPGB) - was first described in 1985.. The procedure has never been widely promoted, either for cluster headache or migraine. In recent years, catheters have been developed to allow a physician to perform the procedure in the office, and is commonly used for migraine headache, but this technique cann...

    I am terrified still. I am in my second cycle of cluster headaches. I have had chronic migraines for 8 years and migraines since I was 14. This last cluster cycle is 3 months and going. I can have a cluster headache on my left side and a migraine on my right side at the same time.

    Misdiagnosed for years as having migraine but I knew EXACTLY what I was having was cluster headache and I was so exhausted and felt so defeated 😪 every single morning the beast would jolt me out of bed at 5 am and I would be rocking back and forth with my head tucked between my knees for anywhere between 15 mins to hours and this cycle would repeat several times a day, for weeks to over a month. The crazy part is I noticed retrospectively I was having these cycles approximately 6 months to 8 months after giving birth. Ive had 3 children and like clockwork, these headaches came after in that time frame...those clusters were the worst so I'm thinking there has to be a hormonal component in my case as to what triggers them. I have been in remission for 15 years, since my son was 10 months old. So much more research needs to be done and more awareness needs to be brought to the medical community as I wasnt being heard by every doctor I saw and ultimately treated like a drug seeker. I wanted to blow my brains out. I missed so much work and couldn't care for my children. Im so grateful for this video and the commentary because it was such a lonely and exhausting and frustrating time. Everyone needs to share this video as much as possible to reach others...knowledge is power. Love and blessings to all! ❤❤❤

I found if can keep from crying it helps "sometimes"... on other occasions i felt the crying and screaming helped push out the pressure.. I don't know anything physically I haven't tried. If i moved to the desert, I may not get them as they come in fall - winter... I lived in Arizona before, as a young woman and never got one there... but...they never started until I turned 50 years old. I am willing to move or do whatever i have to do to live Cluster free... I'm doing a parasite cleanse next week... Will see if it cures them too... Pin worm can enter the brain and cause mucus and swelling ... so we'll see... Yes, suicide was a thought, A BIG THOUGHT... I was actually afraid i would accidentally kill myself because I banged my head so hard... Luckily i haven't, yet.. Thank you, winter is is almost here... 😢

Thank God i found your videos... I've had clusters 10 years, and yes, I contemplated suicide on many occasions. I also thank God they only came in fall thru winter. I know if they were daily, i couldn't do it... Each year, i have dreaded winter ... I also thank God for you all because no one knows how it feels except us. I have had as many as 10 per day thru the night, couldn't hold a regular job. I thank God again i have been self-employed for 35 years. I am an energy healer myself. Massage Therapist. .

    I’m in the middle of a spell and just received my cluster o2 kit that he uses in the video. I use two tanks both with 25 lpm regulators and a Y fitting to connect them to the mask. It has made a huge difference. Had always used a 15 lpm with an Amazon rebreather mask but this spell it has been taking almost an entire bottle to abort. Most still lasting 45 minutes to an hour. A 40 lpm on Amazon is 138$, 2 25’s and the cluster o2 kit will cost less than 100$. Keep fighting ❤

    I found a way to make mine stop when i felt them comimg on. I had severe migranes with pain borderline intolerable for years and years, but i don't believe they were as bad as cluster headaches. When i'd have a migrane, i'd vomit to the point of stomach acid, and then gaggig up nothing for up to 3 hours, and i'd have a slow "comedown" until the next day. It would also make me half blind. I knew one was coming on when i would suddenly struggle to read. Black, silver dark splotches woud take up my vision. My vision perception would stop making sense and feel incredibly off, then the pain and vomiting would come about 15 minutes later I think my migranes were the only time i ever cried from pain, i couldn't imagine what these people feel who have it so much worse. At one point, i even carried around a syringe full of ketamine with me all day just in case as a last resort. How i learned to stop them. I remember researching ways in how i can avoid migranes, And nothing ever worked until one day, i found a reddit comment describing how their dad had intolerable migranes for years until he discovered that if he felt one coming, he could avoid the migrane entirely by doing intense exersize right then and there. After i read that, i vowed i'd give it a try the next time i felt one coming. 4 months later i was in target, sure enough, I suddenly couldn't read labels, my vision distorted, and I felt a migrane coming hard. Literally abandoned my cart right then and there, walked out the target, and went into a dead sprint. Barely able to see, I ran to an open field, and just gave it everything i got, i ran until my chest burned, gasping for air, completely winded until i felt i had nothing left, then ran some more. After 20 minutes of this, flopped onto the ground and waited... and waited. Rather than spiraling into agony and suffering, my vision slowly restored and for the first time of my life, nothing else happened, no migrane. Like when a tornado begins forming, but dissipates into the sky before getting a chance to touch the ground. And it wasn't a fluke. Because it worked the next time and next. Over and over, i avoided them. It genuinely felt like a miracle, nearly too good to he true. I haven't had to do this in over 5 years, been a long while since i felt one coming. Anyways, i hope this information can be useful to someone

    I'm thankful I was diagnosed immediately. At least now I know I'm not going to die on the spot. For me, Rizatriptan 5mg will significantly shorten an attack. However, if I get a second headache within 24hr, it won't work. Sometimes I take an Oxycodone from an old back injury. It works, but you sleep for 5 hours.

    I have cluster headaches all the time. I’ve found that avoiding foods with tyramine has helped. Although I started eating a little bit of dark chocolate everyday night and that has helped tremendously….i suppose from the polyphenol content and maybe it’s true that dark chocolate stimulates stem cells. I also have cut out caffeine, tea, and seasonings. This has helped me break a cycle of cluster headaches that lasted 30 days in a row.

    22:00 In my non-professional opinion, the Circadian & Circannual Rhythms are the main trigger of daily & yearly CH cycles. The amount & intensity of light we absorb depends on many factors such as location, time of year, sleeping conditions, skin tone, etc etc Night work is now considered a carcinogen, so clearly any disruption to the Circadian cycles are harmful to health in general, but more so in the Clusterhead, as you don't want to "wake the beast!"

    Ainslie's testimony is so relatable. I've had the same thoughts about being cursed from a past life or something an ancestor did that I'm paying for. We are not crazy having those thoughts, they're completely normal while experiencing that level of pain. Before the internet I had never met anyone who could relate to it. The pain is out of this world and that is difficult to describe without sounding crazy. One big issue is the title having "Headache" in it, that word is misleading.

    I am 46 years old and have been suffering from Clusters for the last 4 years (3 of those years went completely untreated). My primary care physician sent me to a headache clinic where I met my neurologist. I was in the middle of a cluster headache during my appointment, and he diagnosed me in 2 minutes. I was on Verapamil 180 ER, Imitrex, zolmitriptan nasal spray, and high flow oxygen. Unfortunately my insurance ran out, so all I have been able to do is buy my oxygen (when I can afford it) and I have a heating pad that gets extremely hot and I just push the heating pad against my face adding as much pressure with my hands and fingers against the left side of my face. I have just come across this video and I am so thankful I did, as I feel so alone in this, until I watched this video. People don’t understand this, unless they’ve experienced it themselves. Or they think I’m making it up and drs see me as a drug seeker. It’s so frustrating, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone and some people think I’m exaggerating when I try to explain that this is one of the most painful conditions a human being can ever have. I fear sleep when I don’t have a preventative or acute safety net, as mine happen mostly right as I wake up. I feel a little like the people around me are trying to gaslight me about something they know nothing about. I’m grateful to have found you all!
