Podcasts about cluster headaches

Did you know that approximately 16% of the global population experiences a headache daily? This staggering statistic highlights the enormous impact of headaches on global health and quality of life, affecting people of all ages, genders, and cultures. Despite their prevalence, headaches and migraines are often underdiagnosed and undertreated, emphasizing the need for greater awareness, research, and access to effective treatments. In today's podcast, we'll explore the four most common types of headaches: tension, cervicogenic, migraine, and cluster headaches. We'll delve into their potential causes and effective treatments, including natural remedies, lifestyle adjustments, and holistic approaches. From posture correction and exercise to dietary adjustments and supplements, we'll provide valuable insights to help you understand and manage headaches better. We'll also discuss often overlooked causes, such as dental issues, hormonal imbalances, and thyroid dysfunction, and highlight the importance of getting to the root causes for effective treatment. Learn about the benefits of keeping a headache journal, stress management techniques, and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule to reduce headache frequency and severity. Tune in for a comprehensive guide to managing headaches and take the first step towards a headache-free life.  

There's nothing more inspiring than hearing real people overcome real challenges to get the results they want–especially when those are the same results you'd like to see in your own life!That's why in this episode we're going deep with an amazing woman named Tiffany Thompson who's actually been there, and who's finally seeing massive success after struggling for so long—I can't wait for you to hear her story!

Finding mushrooms is great- but you can't keep your finds forever. Unless of course you take part in the FREE global "mushroom hunting" event where instead of looking for mushrooms, you're looking for mushroom themed art! It's called "Game Of Shrooms" and it's one of the coolest things happening in the mushroom community.In this episode, we're going over everything you need to know about the event, including an interview with the guy who started it all, Daniel "Attaboy" Seifert.We're also going to be digging into one of the most interesting but lesser known potential use cases for psilocybin, and it's history being used for for Cluster Headaches. These horrendous headaches have been described as one of the most painful that a human can experience... Mushrooms to the rescue?

Welcome back to The Trip Report Podcast, a production of Beckley Waves, a Psychedelic Venture Studio.Today, I am speaking with Dr. Pedro Texeira, Ph.D a scientist studying health behavior change and health psychology at the University of Lisbon and founder of the psychedelic educational non-profit Safe Journey.About 18 months ago, I came across a paper authored by Pedro, Robin Carhart-Harris, and others titled Psychedelics and Health Behaviour Change about the potential role of psychedelics in promoting lifestyle changes that are conducive to overall health, and I knew that this would be an increasingly relevant area of research and practice.Part of my intrigue with psychedelics as therapeutic tools is the wide array of conditions and issues for which they may be helpful.At a time when the dominant prescriptive mode in healthcare is “a different pill for every ill,” it is intriguing to see an emerging treatment that has been used for centuries and for which people have organically found helpful for many different conditions from PTSD, to Depression, to Cluster Headaches.Furthermore, the idea that society's most pressing healthcare challenges—chronic diseases—are downstream of environment and lifestyle is an inconvenient truth. The reality is that we can't ignore the impact of nutrition, exercise, sleep, our social environment, and other non-medical lifestyle factors that can be difficult to change.So, can psychedelic-based approaches help people make positive changes? Develop greater agency? Feel less compulsion?These are the questions that Pedro and his team are researching.In this conversation, we discuss:* Pedro's research in nutritional science and health activity* The rise of environmental and lifestyle-based chronic diseases* The early years of the field of behavioral psychology* Self Determination Theory and the relationship between one's perceived competence and motivation for change* The underlying psychological mechanisms of action in self-perception and health behavior change* The potential power of combining established behavioral interventions with psychedelics* What we can learn about behavior change following psychedelic experiences in naturalistic settings* And the importance of psychedelic public education And now I bring you my conversation with Dr. Pedro Teixeira.Listen to the episode on Substack, Spotify, Google or Apple.Credits:* Hosted by Zach Haigney * Produced by Zach Haigney, Erin Greenhouse, and Katelin Jabbari* Find us at thetripreport.com* Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTubeTheme music by MANCHO Sounds, Mixed and Mastered by Rollin Weary This is a public episode.

Back in 2022 I reached a tipping point. I had enough of dealing with a rare headache condition called Cluster Headaches. Spend one minute Google searching this and you'll see that this is no normal headache. Rather a relentless series of intense, excruciating headaches that can wake you up in your sleep and last on and off for hours a day over the course of several months. From the age of 16 I have experienced over 700 attacks lasting generally for 2-3 hours and occurring multiple times in a day. I reached the point where I was praying for a way to work through it. And so I became curious around the deeper meaning of why this condition existed within me! So I decided to take a leap of faith into the unknown. I ventured down the woo woo path of psychedelic medicine, psychotherapy and massive amounts of meditation.

Chronic headaches are extremely debilitating conditions which significantly impact the quality of life. Dr Giorgio Pietramaggiori and Dr Saja Scherer of Global Medical Institute, Switzerland employ minimally invasive treatments such as targeted Botox injections, surgical release of nerves, and fat transfer, which aim to offer relief for people suffering from chronic headaches when pharmacological alternatives fail.

Dr. Taves dives into the diagnosis of Cluster Headaches in this episode of The Headache Doctor Podcast. Typically, Cluster Headaches can onset very quickly, multiple times a day and the pain is extremely intense. These types of headaches are more common in men and characterized as one-sided, intense pain behind or around the eye. Episodes generally last 30-45 minutes of intense pain and typically can last a period of weeks-months with a seasonal element involved. Physical Manifestations during Cluster Headaches include tears from the eyes, eye swelling, a droopy eyelid, or a stuffy nose. What physically could be producing these symptoms?

Have you ever heard of a headache so agonizing that it's been nicknamed the "suicide headache"? Imagine experiencing excruciating pain, primarily on one side of your head, accompanied by tearing, nasal congestion, and drooping eyelids. Now, imagine enduring this torment multiple times a day, each episode lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours. It's not just a nightmare scenario; it's a reality for those who suffer from cluster headaches. Join Dr. Dave Rabin MD, PhD as he sits down with Dr. Emmanuelle Schindler MD, PhD, a physician-scientist from Yale University, to take us on a journey to explore the fascinating potential of psilocybin as a promising solution that might seem surprising, but it actually works for many sufferers of this extremely challenging disorder. Help is on the way!

When a migraine or cluster headache strikes, life is suddenly miserable. Now, signs are…

In this episode, Joe lets Court Wing take lead in interviewing two of the leaders behind Clusterbusters: Founder and Executive Director, Bob Wold; and President, Eileen Brewer. A long-time friend of the show, Court Wing has become our resident expert on chronic pain, writing articles about how psilocybin relieved his chronic pain, and hosting Timothy Furnish, MD & Joel Castellanos, MD in their episode about phantom limb pain. Now he speaks with Clusterbusters, a non-profit dedicated to educating people about the horrors of cluster headaches, funding ongoing research into new treatments, and normalizing the miracle that psilocybin has been to so many sufferers in alleviating their headaches.  Wold and Brewer discuss their past struggles (Wold is a cluster sufferer and Brewer has migraine disease) and discovering the amazing intervention of psychedelics; the battles they've gone through in spreading this knowledge; how using psychedelics is also helping people work through PTSD; the barriers that legal psilocybin is creating; the concept of schools having a drug education program; the research looking at cluster headaches and other headache diseases; their creation of the Pain And Psychedelics Association, and more. While cluster headache sufferers have a lot to be frustrated about; as psilocybin becomes more mainstream and more and more research is funded, they now have a lot of hope. www.psychedelicstoday.com

Bob Wold is from Clusterbusters Inc. He joins us on this episode of Adventures Through The Mind podcast to present cluster headaches, one of the most painful conditions known to humankind—their patterns, symptoms, and pathophysiology; as well as the treatments presently available, with a specific deep dive into psychedelic tryptamines as the most effective treatment discovered thus far and how those with clusters use those tryptamines. ...

Cluster headaches are often considered one of the most painful human experiences.  They are short (lasting usually 15-180 minutes), frequent (up to 8 a day), unilateral headaches behind or around the eye often with ipsilateral autonomic symptoms and restlessness.  While migraines and tension headaches are seen frequently in the emergency department, cluster headaches are much less frequently seen and often are harder to identify as a result.  There are certain points to remember with patients that are experiencing cluster headaches and we list 10 of them here.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: "Fixing Adolescence" as a Cause Area?, published by kirchner.jan on January 23, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. TL;DR: GiveWell-esque analysis of adolescents' suffering. Life satisfaction during puberty, ITN model, developmental neuroscience of the amygdala. A few jokes here and there. Reading Guide: If you're familiar with the "Cause X" concept, you can skip the "Searching for Cause X" section. You can jump to "Conclusions & FAQ" if you only want my conclusions. Epistemic status: I wrote this to understand how a GiveWell-type analysis feels from the inside. I expect this would require a couple hundred hours of additional research to get to the point where I'd be confident in the conclusions. But I still think the resulting analysis is interesting, so read it like you'd read the Feuilleton. Any feedback is highly appreciated. Searching for Cause X Within the effective altruism community, there is a game (in the broadest sense of the word) that goes like this: Imagine it's 50 years in the future. Which part of our early 21st-century civilization will make people 50 years from now recoil in horror? It's a pretty weird game, as "winning" means that you will start seeing atrocities committed everywhere, which can't be healthy. But, I argue, the "game" component stems from a dynamic where people come up with the most surprising proposal for unnoticed widespread atrocity (also called "Cause X" since we don't know what they might be). Proposals include: Aging. With increasing age, your body tends to accumulate diseases and lose functionality, which is the cause of a lot of suffering. It would be great if your body didn't do that. Maybe, one day they won't do that anymore, and we'll loathe the fact that they once did. Wild animal welfare. Imagine being a field mouse. Everyone is trying to eat you, food is scarce, and half of your pups don't make it. This situation is exacerbated by the fact that there are billions in the same situation as you. There is not a lot we can do about it at the moment. But perhaps, there are things we can do at some point in the future, and then it will seem barbaric to let wild animals suffer. Cluster Headaches. Cluster Headaches are bad. Really bad. Like, "people-call-them-suicide-headache"-level bad. 1 in 1000 people are affected, and most other people don't even know how bad it is. Perhaps we'll be able to fix this (and other diseases that cause immense suffering) eventually and wonder how people could ever endure this. These are bound to sound a bit outlandish; the idea of not eating meat probably also sounded very weird to the median person living a century ago. The complete list includes 97 items, and (obviously) not all of them will be hits - and perhaps even none of those will be. But they also don't have to be! Coming up with candidates for possible Cause X's and then arguing for or against them is part of the "game". In this spirit, here is my contribution. Could it be that 50 years from now, we will look back and say: "Oh boy, people really used to be blind. How on earth did we miss that the small humans are not alright? We even put all of them together, have them form little tribes and let them fight it out, unsupervised, Lord-of-the-Flies-style? It's not even their fault, their brains are just going coo-coo at that age! The small humans literally don't even have properly developed morality yet. Puberty really was the worst." Low Points in High School “How often do I lull my seething blood to rest, for you have never seen anything so unsteady, so uncertain, as this heart.”― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Here is the short version: 1 in 25 describes high school time as the worst time in their life. Fourteen percent of students reported being victims of bullying. Life satisfaction decreases steadily during adolescence and increases onl...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Cluster Headache Frequency Follows a Long-Tail Distribution, published by algekalipso on the AI Alignment Forum. Write a Review [Warning: Disturbing content ahead. Why talk about it? This is an ethically very serious topic and it deserves more attention. But please beware that thinking about this might be bad for one's mental health.] One of the key insights that shows why Effective Altruism is so important is that the positive effect on the world that results from donating to various charities follows a long-tail distribution: Cost-effectiveness of health interventions as found in the Disease Controls Priorities Project 2. See “The moral imperative towards cost-effectiveness in global health” by Toby Ord for more explanation. [Taken from: The world's biggest problems and why they're not what first comes to mind] It is for this reason why focusing on the best interventions really pays off. Where else can we expect long-tails to appear? In Get-Out-Of-Hell-Free Necklace we discussed how introducing a new metric into the Effective Altruist ecosystem could shed light on neglected cost-effective interventions. We presented the Hell-Index: A country's Hell-Index could be defined as the yearly total of people-seconds in pain and suffering that are at or above 20 in the McGill Pain Index (or equivalent). This index captures the intuition that intense suffering can be in some ways qualitatively different and more serious than lesser suffering in a way that isn't really captured by a linear pain scale. In a future article we will discuss how the quality of suffering as a function of different medical and psychological conditions very likely follows a long-tail distribution. That is, some conditions such as Cluster Headaches (which affect about 1 in 1000 people worldwide) produce pain that is orders of magnitude worse than the pain experienced in other kinds of medical conditions, such as migraines (which are themselves already described as orders of magnitude worse than tension headaches). In other words, a 0-10 pain-scale is better thought of as a logarithmic compression of the true levels of pain rather than a linear scale. So concentrating on the worst conditions could really pay off for reducing suffering in bulk amounts. Now: the long-tailed nature of suffering may extend beyond the quality of suffering, and show up also in its quantity. That is, the frequency with which people experience episodes of intense suffering, even among those who experience the same kind of suffering, is unlikely to be normally distributed. Intuitively, one may think that how much suffering people endure on a given year follows a normal distribution. This intuition says that if the median number of hell-seconds people endure in a year is, say, 1,000, then people who are at the 90% percentile of hell-seconds experienced per year will be experiencing something like 1,500 or at most 2,000. If suffering follows a long-tail distribution, in reality the 90% percentile might be experiencing something more akin to 10,000 hell-seconds per year, the 99% percentile something akin to 100,000, and the 99.9% something akin to 1,000,000. If true, such a heavy skew of the distribution would suggest that we should concentrate our energies on addressing the problems of the people who are unlucky to be on the upper ranges, rather than be overly concerned with “the typical person”. Unfortunately, I come to share the bad news that suffering probably follows a very long-tail distribution: It is generally acknowledged that Cluster Headaches are some of the most painful experiences that people endure. Having a single Cluster Headache, lasting anywhere between 15 minutes to 4 hours, is already an ethically unacceptable situation that should never happen to begin with. It is disheartening to know that 1 in 1,000 people e...

Cluster headaches can be awful. They're rare, but if you get them, you know they come on fast and hit hard. In this episode of NewsMD's "Health Fusion," Viv Williams shares info about treatments from a Mayo Clinic headache expert.

Content Warning: This episode contains graphic content.  Welcome back to the hottest podcast in America, literally.  Joe McKay was at Ground Zero on 9/11. He lost a lot of friends that day. And shortly afterwards, he lost something else. As a result of his exposures he began experiencing a rare condition called “Cluster Headaches”. It's a debilitating condition and there were very few medical options for relief. None were effective. But Joe didn't give up and his search for relief led him down a different sort of path. With the approval and oversight of a trained medical professional Joe turned to psychedelics and experienced great results. Mind blowing results. Results that gave him back his life. And allowed him to feel happy again. It's an eye opening conversation. It's an inspiring conversation. And you can only get it here.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome back to That's So Chronic. We're back with our regular Tuesday interviews and today's interview I think you're gonna love. I got to sit down with Alex Brocklehurst (she even made us a platter of goodies!) to chat about her diagnosis of cluster headaches - known to be one of the most painful types of headaches a person can endure. In this episode Alex talks us through her diagnosis, she explains how the cluster headaches feel for her, how her medication works, and leaves us with an important message. Content warning: there is a brief mention of suicide in this episode, and there is a trigger warning from Alex before that moment in the episode.

It is estimated that over 40 million Americans, and one billion people worldwide suffer from migraine disease. What is migraine disease? And how serious is it? Here to explain from their own personal experiences, this migraine advocate Eileen Brewer and Dr. Joanna Kempner shine a huge spotlight on this terribly common and often debilitating disease.In this episode, The Two Jess(es) talk with these two incredibly resilient women who have dedicated their lives, work and research to advocate on behalf of themselves and the millions that suffer along with them. The ramifications of living with chronic illness are indeed serious, the frustrations that come with not being taken seriously, and the often debated topic of addiction to drugs as opposed to dependence to find some relief. Also, a lot of talk about psychedelics in this one! If you, or someone you know and love is suffering from migraine, or any other chronic illness, this episode is packed full of useful information and a feast for your thoughts. Meet Eileen Brewer!Eileen is an event coordinator and advocate for those living with headache diseases. She is the President of Clusterbusters, the Director of Special Events for the Coalition for Headache and Migraine Patients, a member of the National Headache Foundation’s Patient Leadership Council, and is a moderator for Move Against Migraine.As a wife and mother of two, Mrs. Brewer balances her life in the headache community with various personal commitments, including sitting as the President of a preschool, leading a Girl Scout troop, and managing several real estate investment properties. Eileen has devoted herself over the years to many volunteer opportunities including local and national political initiatives, and event planning and advocacy for local charities. Meet Dr. Joanna Kempner!I am an Associate Professor of Sociology at Rutgers University where I research, teach, and speak about the relationship between science, medicine, and justice, and the political suppression of science and resistance movements that fight politically motivated ignorance. In 2014, I wrote the award-winning book Not Tonight: Migraine and the Politics of Gender and Health (Chicago). My work strives to give voice to those who are too often silenced, which means that much of my research focuses on questions that most people rarely think about: Whose pain matters? Why are there so few effective treatments for pain? What are the challenges of living a life in pain? Over the years, I’ve found that ignorance drives too many decisions about science and health. So I’ve also worked at understanding how and why some topics are never studied, and how certain “forbidden” subjects can reemerge as viable scientific investigations. To this end, I am currently writing a book about the underground research networks responsible for bringing psychedelics back to medicine. You can read more about my work here.For more information about various organizations mentioned in this episode:Cluster Busters: https://clusterbusters.org/Coalition for Headache and Migraine: https://headachemigraine.org/https://www.joannakempner.com/Support the show (http://www.paypal.com)

Tom updates us with his progress from his stem cell treatment over a year and a half ago and he still has not had a cluster headache in that time! But, he has some VERY exciting news to share with us! Listen to the podcast to find out! To recap, Tom has what's known as "the Worlds most painful disease" #TrigeminalCephalalgiaNeuralgia also known as Cluster Headaches, or the suicide disease.

Headaches can be more complicated than most people realize. Different kinds can have their own set of symptoms, happen for unique reasons, and need different treatments. Once you know the type of headache you have, you and your doctor can find the treatment that’s most likely to help and even try to prevent them. There are over 150 types of headaches, but the most common types include: Tension Headaches, Migraine Headaches, Cluster Headaches, Chronic Daily Headaches, Sinus Headaches, Post-traumatic Headaches, Among Many Others. In this show, Doc Morris Discusses each type of headache and what causes it. The pain you feel during a headache comes from a mix of signals between your brain, blood vessels, and nearby nerves. Specific nerves in your blood vessels and head muscles switch on and send pain signals to your brain. But it isn’t clear how these signals get turned on in the first place. Doc Morris Discusses Treatments that are Successful in Treating many kinds of Headaches. Morris Medical CenterWeight Loss Physician & Family Practitioner located in Fort Myers, FL & LaBelle, FLMorris Medical Center is a physician-owned and operated medical facility in Fort Myers, Florida. Led by Dr. Dareld Morris, the tight-knit team of health professionals at Morris Medical Center strives to provide each patient with high-quality, individualized care. Dr. Morris and his team enjoy supporting their patients with the expertise and guidance they need to improve their health, and believe that thoughtful, one-on-one medical care is an essential part of becoming healthy and staying that way.

Labelled as the worlds most painful disease, listen to Tom's story living with. Trigeminal Cephalalgia Neuralgia also known as Cluster Headaches, or the suicide disease. From exhausting all prescriptions for this disease, two unsuccessful brain surgeries, PTSD, near death many times from surgeries and knocking on suicides door, there is magic in the world, and Tom is with us today because of it. Tom's story will leave you in awe of this disease, as well as the medical system and faith in humanity. Please like and share, as this disease is just as common as M.S. but does not get near the appropriate research and development, understanding and awareness. Connect with Tom on YouTube: @ClusterHeadSurvivor Instagram: @cluster_head_survivor Be sure to read his blog about cluster headaches, mental illness and more: clusterheadsurvivor.blogspot.com

People who suffer from chronic headaches want relief now, but a headache and a migraine should be treated differently. Because it's important to recognize the difference between the two, I talk about the difference between them, some common pharmacological and non-pharmacological ways to treat them, some common side effects of the pharmacological treatments, and the potential benefits of cannabis in the treatment of migraines.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/WCIHealth)

The Suicide Headache:Cluster Headaches  The sun rises over the San Joaquin Valley, California, today is March 18, 2020. Last week marked the 5thanniversary since we opened our home at East Niles Community Health Center. The grand opening was on March 6, 2015. Also, Match Day 2020 is coming soon! We are happy to inform that we matched all 8 positions. We will know the residents’ names in a few days. This will be our 6th class. We are excited to welcome a new group of motivated residents starting in June 2020.  Also, COVID-19 has infected over 200,000 and caused almost 9,000 deaths worldwide. A few hours ago, a non-resident in Kern County was confirmed to be positive for coronavirus(1). This pandemic continues to evolve every day, but we will not talk about it any further today. Visit the CDC website, or contact your local public health department for accurate and updated information.___________“If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.” (Unknown author, possibly Ann Landers)Headache is among the top 10 chief complaints among primary care visits, we are happy to address this relevant topic with one of our chief residents. Today our guest is Lisa Manzanares. Lisa is on her third year. I am pleased to see you today. By the way, she has also been the voice of our “Speaking Medical” section. How are you doing today?You know we ask 5 questions in this podcast. We’ll start with the first question.Question number 1: Who are you?You want the short or the long answer? I have to talk for 20 minutes they say, so you’re getting the ‘long.’  I’m a U.S. Navy veteran, mom of 3 little girls, a wife, a rock climber, explorer of the Sierras, a long board enthusiast, and a ….right, and a third year family medicine resident in the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Program.  I took the circuitous route here: after graduating medical school in 2013 from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, CA, I did an Intern year at Naval Medical Center San Diego. After that, the Navy sent me to the Central Valley where I practiced outpatient general medicine.  I took care of Active Duty members and their families while stationed at the Naval Hospital in Lemoore.  Comment: What a nice bio, we are happy to have you as one of our residents. Question number 2: What did you learn this week?I learned about the acute treatment cluster headaches in the clinic. 100% oxygen via nonrebreather facial mask with flow of at least 12L/min.   You should continue x 15 minutes to prevent the attack from returning, though the patient may feel better in as little as 5 minutes.  As for medications: subcutaneous sumatriptan 6mg is beneficial in about 75% of patients, intranasal sumatriptan  or zolmitriptan can also be used but is slower in onset.  Sometimes only 3mg sumatriptan SQ can benefit patients.  Intranasal triptans are administered CONTRALATERAL to the pain side, because patients with cluster headache often have rhinorrhea and congestion on the side ipsilateral to the pain, impeding the delivery of the medication.  Intranasal lidocaine in a 4-10% solution can also be used, and is effective in about 1/3 of patients.  The lidocaine is administered on the IPSILATERAL side. Comment: We may not see the patient during the acute pain, but if you see a patient with acute cluster headache this is the treatment that needs to be given. Some patients have chronic cluster headache without remission periods.Cluster headache is more prevalent in men and typically begins between 20 and 40 years of age. Trigeminal autonomic cephalgia: Unilateral, located on the temporal or periorbital area, accompanied by at least one ipsilateral symptom in the eye, nose, or face (rhinorrhea, conjunctival injection); it causes restlessness or agitation, duration of 15 to 180 minutes, One episode every other day to eight episodes per day. It is a severe headache(2). One of my patients explained it to me in a very painful way. He put a pen on his eye and stabbed himself on the eye, thankfully he only injured the medial aspect of his eye lid, but you can tell how intense the pain is if your patient is willing to stab himself in the eye to describe it.Prophylaxis:As for prophylaxis of cluster headache, verapamil is the first-line therapy. Other meds that aren’t 1st line but may work: glucocorticoids, lithium, topiramate; more invasive treatments such as nerve stimulation and surgery may be helpful in refractory cases.Question number 3: Why is that knowledge important for you and your patients?Cluster headaches are miserable.  In fact, the pain is described as a severe ‘suicide headache’ under diagnostic criteria in journal articles on cluster headache. My job as a family physician is to reduce common miseries.  About 1 in 1000 US adults has experienced a cluster headache, and cluster headache has a large associated morbidity: 80% of these patients report restricting daily activities. Common + miserable =something we need to learn about for the sake of our patients. Plus, oxygen is something that is in every clinic. This is one way to be able to treat the patient on the spot, and have them walking out of the clinic feeling better.Comment: Tell us about the triggers of cluster headaches.Triggers include vasodilators (e.g., alcohol, nitroglycerin) and histamine, tobacco exposure (first hand or second hand)  Question number 4: How did you get that knowledge?There’s always that question about 100% oxygen and cluster headaches on the boards, on shelf exams.  This is probably not news to anyone listening to the podcast. So the oxygen thing was something that actually stuck from med school.  In terms of finding out more of what to do with the patient, how to make her feel better, I had to look some stuff up.  My trusty sources in clinic are 1.) Up to Date and 2.) Faculty.  3.) Review/Journal articles. Not necessarily in that order.  Question number 5: Where did that knowledge come from?The info is an amalgam of: knowledge from Dr. Schlareth, our faculty member here, “Cluster Headache” by Dr. Weaver-Agostoni downloaded from the AAFP website, and “Cluster Headache: Treatment and Prognosis” on Up-to-Date(3). See details in our website.Now we conclude our episode number 3 “The Suicide Headache”. Cluster headache is no joke. When you encounter a patient with a cluster headache, remember to use oxygen and abortive treatment as explained before. Do not forget to prescribe prophylaxis treatment if indicated.________________Speaking Medical (Medical word of the Day) by Monica Kumar, MDHi, my name is Dr Kumar, today I want to teach you the medical word of the day. Since everyone is fighting over toilet paper, we thought it was only appropriate to introduce to you the explosive medical term of the week. Steatorrhea. “Steatorrhea” is the excess of fat in the stools often due to the impaired transport of nutrients across the apical membrane of the enterocytes, that results in oily, foul smelling stools.Some of the underlying causes of steatorrhea are celiac disease, cystic fibrosis, pancreatitis, lactose intolerance and gastrointestinal infections. If you see a patient with steatorrhea (not caused by the consumption of unhealthy amounts of burger and fries), please investigate further by asking onset, duration, frequency, triggers, and travel history, perform a complete physical exam, and order additional studies based on your assessment.  In young children presenting with failure to thrive and steatorrhea, do not forget about cystic fibrosis. Remember the medical word of the day steatorrhea.   _________________Espanish Por Favor (Spanish Word of the Day) by Greg FernandezWelcome to your section Espanish Por Favor, this is Dr Fernandez and today’s Spanish word of the day which is “Piquete”. “Piquete” is translated as a prick, shot, jab, injection or a stinging pain or discomfort. The scenario where someone would use this word would sound like this: “Doctor, me da un piquete en el pecho” or “Doctor, tengo piquetes en las piernas”. It means “Doctor, I have a shot-like pain on my chest” or “Doctor, I have pricks on my legs.”  People can use this word to refer to an acute, sudden, short-duration, stinging, sharp pain. It is like a “bird bite”. The etiology of this pain can be very broad and can include muscle spasms, neuropathy, leg cramps, or many other conditions. It may also be a sign of no disease at all. Now you know the Espanish word of the day, “piquete”. All you have to do is go and assess your patient’s “piquetes”. That’s all for today, have a great week, and remember to wash your hands, avoid touching your face and avoid crowded places. Thank you.  ____________________ For your Sanity (Medical joke of the day)by Simron Gill, MS4 and Monica Kumar, MD--Why did the teacher with tertiary syphilis get fired? --Why?--He couldn't control his pupils--What is an EKG finding of hypospadias? --It doesn’t make sense, what does an EKG shows in hypospadias?--Inverted P waves Duck Hunting A family medicine doc, an internist, a surgeon, and a pathologist are out one day duck hunting. First up is the family doc, he raises his gun to take aim at a flock of birds passing overhead and says to himself, "It looks like a duck, flies like a duck, quacks like a duck, it must be a duck." BANG! He bags himself a duck.The internal medicine doctor then steps up, raises his gun to take aim at a second flock of birds flying overhead. He says to himself, "Looks like a duck, flies like a duck, quacks like a duck, rule out quail, rule out pheasant, goose versus duck likely." BANG! He, too, bags himself a duck.A third flock of birds then flies overhead and the surgeon steps up and raises his gun at the flock. BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! He fires multiple rounds at the flock and dead birds are dropping all around.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:  Betsey: Dr. Cabral, I enjoyed your interview with Melissa Ambrosini a while back. I felt inspired to make changes and work with my aryervedic body type. I also tried your CBD and enjoyed it’s effects. I’m currently scheduled to see Dr X for Lyme Disease. But I feel uncomfortable treating with antibiotics because I believe so fully in natural medicine and natural living. I just heard on your podcast about the disease being gone but that I need to detox. My nervous system is the biggest issue which is why I’m hurrying to get help. It’s difficult to breathe, walk, eat, speak, and think most days. I also have terrible convulsions regularly. I believe my body can heal on its own with the right tools but I’m feeling rushed to get better given my circumstances. I’m considering canceling with Dr. X and I’m curious what you charge for treatment and when you’d be available. Thanks for all you do, Betsey Stacy: First, thank you for your amazing and informative podcast! I appreciate you spending so much time sharing what you have learned, as well as the support of you, your team and other members of the FB page! I have learned so much! I recently finished my second DCD and had very different results than most seem to have. While I recognize, understand and appreciate that everyone is different, it has led me to one major question. Before I go further with my detox experience, I am on Lexapro. Thankfully, it is the last prescription med I am taking and my goal is to also remove that from my life-I have already been able to stop taking two other psychotropic meds, as well as a PPI since doing the CBO protocol last year. About a week after finishing the DCD, I noticed a change for the worse in my mood. I noticed feeling sadder and even more anxious. Just for more complete information, I also take adrenal soothe, cal/mag, full spectrum mag, activated b complex, vitamin d, daily thyroid support, and adrenal support. I spoke to my health coach who shared it is possible, but not entirely common for the antidepressant to lose its efficacy due to the detox. I have some conjectures of my own as to why there could be a connection between a detox and a lessening of an antidepressant's efficacy, but I was not able to find anything definitive on Dr. Google (as you like to say). :) I did speak with my PCP prior to the DCDs and she was fine with me doing them, but does not feel they are necessary or really useful. So, I do not feel I will get an unbiased response to this question/query. Bottom line-why might the efficacy of the antidepressant I take lessen after a DCD? I want and feel it necessary to do them in the future, so if there is something I can do to cope with it--that would be great! Thank you, in advance! Stacy Tara: Hi Dr. Cabral, I really appreciate all that you do for our health! I did the 7 day DCD in July 2018, Big 5 Labs in August, finished the CBO Protocol in December (also completing the Heavy Metal Protocol at the end the CBO), did another 7 day DCD at the beginning of January, and am now doing the Healthy Gut Protocol and Parasite Protocol. I’ve followed all the supplement suggestions from your health coach (including Estrogen balance and seed cycling for my estrogen dominance), and haven’t had any of the foods that I’m sensitive to even for my once a week cheat meal. I am eating clean, following the DCD guidelines very closely. I fast 12 hours a night and eat 3 meals a day, plus liquid shake for a snack in the afternoon. I work out (weight lifting, HIT training, Pyo, running) 6 days a week. I’ve been off all pharmaceutical drugs for 4 months (NasalCrom for allergies, Birth Control Pill, Ziana gel for acne). Still, I have terrible facial acne! It usually ramps up the week before my period, and then I break out for 2-3 weeks, then have 1 week of clear skin before it starts over. I’ve listened to your previous podcasts on acne and you state that it’s “bad blood” or poor gut health, but I feel like I’ve already cleaned up my gut and liver and am at a loss for what else can be done. Thanks for any light you can shed on this. Ashley: Hi Dr. Cabral, I want to say first, thank you so much for all the helpful information you’ve provided the community. I also want to apologize for this long winded question. I have a history of cluster headaches over the last 10 years. I get them every 1.5-2 years. My usual triggers are either processed foods, or strong smells, so I avoid them as much as possible. I’ll get the ice pick unilateral ocular headache twice a day for 1-2 weeks per attack, always a couple hours after sleeping so I wake up, and then again in the daytime at some point. I have to either inhale oxygen at 15L through a non rebreather for 20 min IF I can catch it right when it starts. If not I need to take 50mg imitrex, and pace around and get fresh air until the headache subsides. During my most recent attack my trigger was the daily nutritional support shake, and the attack was worse than ever lasting a month. I asked the support group about any inside tips, they didn’t think it was the shake. I tried searching the podcasts for cluster headaches and didn’t find any podcasts. I stayed away from the support shake and then 2 months later added it back just in case I was wrong about my triggers, but another round of cluster headaches came back. 1. I think I need to do a detox, but how can I do this without the daily shakes? I don’t see the detox supplements sold separately 2. When I do get the cluster headaches what are your tips on how to end the cycle sooner? I will typically switch to an organic diet, avoiding processed foods, nitrates even in spinach and such, caffeine, tannins, and any products with scents. I’ll increase my yoga and low impact exercise, I’ve tried 120mg verapamil twice daily, capsaicin nasal spray, increasing magnesium glycinate 800mg daily, and melatonin 10mg nightly, chiropractors, massage, cupping and accupuncture, but I’m feeling helpless. Thanks for the advice in advance! Ryan: This I guess applies to my Success Mindset aspect of my health, I wanted to ask you about the Imposter Syndrome. You have mentioned many times how sick you were when you were young and that even up until your mid-late 20s you were relapsing every now and then. However, this whole time you were training and teaching people and seeing clients etc and advising them on how to get well. I think this question would especially apply to when you were a young PT and quite sick yourself at the time. Did you ever feel the Impostor Syndrome? Did you feel bad that you were telling people do this or that and how to to get healthy when you yourself were not? Sometimes I think I should wait and hold back on teaching certain things because I'm not quite there myself yet, even though I have the knowledge and can advise. What's your take? Should you push through and advise if you have the knowledge or hold back until you've fully healed in that area as well? Would you change anything looking back? Thanks so much for all you do!

Macomb Twp. Chiropractic Chiropractors Reveal Causes and Treatments for 3 Common Headache Types A large number of people suffer with headaches every day, but all headaches are not same. No matter what the type of headache they most always affect the headache sufferer’s life in a negative way.  Knowing the kind of headache one has can ensure proper diagnosis and treatment because the differences between headaches can be very distinct, but sometimes this difference is very subtle. “There are many types and causes of headaches and main way to differentiate between headaches is to know the different symptoms associated with each kind of headache”, says Dr. Chris McNeil Macomb Twp. Chiropractic Clinic Director.   A tension headache is characterized by tightness on both sides of head and sometimes accompanied by the tightness in neck. It can last from 30 minutes to several days. Tension headaches can affect people of all ages Two main causes of tension headaches can be from a major trauma, like a sports injury or car accident, or from a minor trauma like a repetitive job or poor posture. Major or minor trauma can put significant tension on the nerves, muscles and joints of the neck and create the symptoms of a tension headache. Symptoms of a tension headache include tightness around the head and neck with a headache that radiates like a hat band.  Common treatments of tension headaches may be medication, heat therapy and chiropractic treatments. A very large number of people get affected by migraine headaches every year, and 75% of these people are women. Migraine headaches are characterized by severe pain in head and 60% of the sufferers feel pain in one side of the head. Migraines are most prevalent between the age group of 45-64 years and tend to run in families. “Migraine headaches can also be caused by nerve, muscle and joint tension, but other factors like hormones, diet and genetics can play a part” said Dr. Chris McNeil Chiropractor Macomb MI. Symptoms of a migraine headache may include nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. Treatments for a migraine headache may include strong prescription medication that often has side effects, sleeping, chiropractic treatments or dietary changes. Cluster headaches are usually located in the eye region. The reason why these kinds of headaches are called Cluster headaches is that they occur three to four times a day in a short duration of time. This is an excruciating type of headache typically experienced by men between the ages of twenty to fifty years. Cluster headaches can be caused by chemical stress from medication, msg or, artificial sweetener. “Cluster Headaches can also be caused by mechanical spinal cord tension, depression or anxiety,” says Dr. Frank Norton. Symptoms of a cluster headache can include sharp stabbing pain around the eye, nasal congestion and eye redness and irritation. Remedies for cluster headaches may include dietary changes, breathing exercises, medication and chiropractic care. No matter what type of headache one may suffer from they almost always have a negative effect on one’s life.  From problems sleeping, working or spending time with family, finding out what type of headache and the proper treatment can most often make dramatic positive changes in a person’s life!  Visit www.MetroDetroitChiropractors.com for more information on headaches and office locations.

Headaches are no fun. Find out how to better manage them in y our life

Chiropractic adjustments align the spine to allow proper nerve and muscle function which alleviates the symptoms of many types of headaches.

A headache can be a sign of stress or emotional distress, or it can result from a medical disorder, such as migraine or high blood pressure, anxiety, structural misalignment or depression. It can lead to other problems. People with chronic migraine headaches, for example, may find it hard to attend work or school regularly. Today Sharry will show how her software Migraine ManagerTM can identify the frequency based biomarkers associated with a migraine and counter act the effects of those frequencies with frequencies specifically picked out for that individual.

Every three minutes somebody in the UK develops dementia, so when it's claimed that tailored computer brain training can reduce cases of dementia and cognitive decline by a third over a decade, people sit up and take notice. The research claiming the 33% reduction for the group of people whose "processing function" was targeted for brain training, hasn't yet been published - so isn't peer-reviewed - but the preliminary data by a US team was presented to the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in Toronto this week. Dr Doug Brown, Director of R&D at the UK's Alzheimer's Society speaks from the Canadian conference to Dr Mark Porter and says there's widespread excitement about the potential of brain training to protect against dementia. Dr Margaret McCartney urges caution, warning it's too early to make claims before the full data is available. James is a young man with a high pressure sales job, but every year in the summer months he is crippled by agonising headaches. He's one of the 100,000 people in the UK who suffers from cluster headaches, so called because they come in disabling bouts, lasting for 4-6 weeks at a time. Inside Health visits a new one-stop multidisciplinary rapid-access headache clinic at St Thomas's Hospital in London, where James is getting treatment. Dr Giorgio Lambru, who heads the new service, tells Mark why it's so vital that patients with cluster headaches have to be seen, diagnosed and treated quickly. Years after cardiac rehabilitation became a standard part of therapy for heart attacks, the same post-treatment care still isn't routinely available for people who've had cancer, despite decade-old guidance from NICE suggesting that it should be. The UK's first clinical trial to measure holistic cancer care is hoping to provide the evidence that will demonstrate the type of support and rehabilitation that really works. Professor of Nursing Annie Young from Warwick Medical School and University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust tells Mark that after treatment, patients can feel abandoned and vulnerable. #hellomynameis is a hugely successful social media campaign which highlights the importance of healthcare staff introducing themselves to patients. It was launched by Dr Kate Granger after her experience of being in hospital. Kate died at the weekend from cancer, aged just 34. Dr Margaret McCartney describes the enormous impact of Kate's campaign throughout the NHS.

Part of Rachel's bio: "It’s hard to say when my exact “journey” began with what we now know is Cushing’s Disease.  Both my Mom and my doctor believe I’ve had this for years, when I started having period problems, migraines and unexplained weight gain in high school.I can safely say that I started really noticing/documenting this last round of health issues in the spring of 2007.  I can remember my first doctor’s visit regarding the onset of this in spring 2006, but the majority of my health issues really began a year later.  I’d always suffered from migraines, but only around my menstrual periods.  I took birth control to help with that, and it also helped regulate my periods for the majority of my adolescent and young adult life."
