As the title says. For me it’s always the same: at first, my boss is understanding, but when I miss work because of a migraine for the 15th time, that compassion kind of dulls away… At some point, they start complaining that I am unreliable and they always seem to be waiting for when I get better, as if there is a cure for this chronic condition.
I always feel like somehow it is my fault for being sick and I feel like I let my team down even though I know it’s the last thing I want.
How do you guys cope with it? What do you tell your boss? How do coworkers view you? Any tips and tricks are always welcome!
I’ve had good experience using psilocybin mushrooms. Do what you want with this information Here is a journal from
University of Toronto
The authors’ research group recently reported on the preventive or transitional effects of a pulse regimen of low-dose psilocybin (10 mg/70 kg) for cluster headache in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.31 The dose (mildly psychedelic) and regimen (3 doses, each 5 days apart) were based on those used by patients.5 In the study, psilocybin reduced cluster attacks per week by approximately 30% over three weeks, although this reduction did not reach statistical significance against placebo (p = 0.251; n = 14).31 A Danish group also reported on the effects of the same pulse regimen for cluster headache and included measures of brain functional MRI.32 In this open-label investigation, there was an approximately 30% reduction in attack frequency in the four weeks after pulse completion (p = 0.003; n = 10), which correlated with hypothalamic functional connectivity changes after psilocybin.32 The hypothalamus is a key brain region in the pathophysiology of cluster headache
That sounds very interesting! I am already on a new med so I might have to wait to try something like that (I am on a CGRP targetting med now) but it sounds promising. What was your experience with it?
I get really high for a night and next 6-12 months 0 headaches. I take em when I really need em. Same goes for depression, feel fantastic for a couple weeks after
