I have been suffering with episodic Cluster Headaches since ‘97 (at least that’s when they figured out what these terrible things were). I’ll spare you the colorful details as if you are on this site you already know how bad this affliction is. I’m not sure if I can recall a pain as intense yet long lasting as this.

Anyway, I am not a doctor though like the rest of us sufferers I read until I can’t see straight about this ailment. Since CH has been directly linked to a Hypothalamus (sp?) disorder why has no one suggested subcutaneous anabolic steroid shots to keep things balanced in terms of hormonal spikes? I have experimented with various androgens for the past 2 years and I couldn’t care what anyone says, I haven’t had a headache in 2 years and am unsure if it’s because of the weight training, the steroid regiment, quitting drinking (I doubt that) though again I say, who cares???? Anyone on here knows that if something works, then we’ll try something to make the pain stop.

Go ahead, let the flurry or negativity begin….I’m not asking anyone to agree with this statement, just think about it.
