5 Realities Of The Worst Thing Ever

They say that childbirth is the worst pain you'll ever feel, but those people probably don't understand what it's like to lose a Tamagotchi. Or have a cluster headache, for that matter. How bad can a headache be,van cleef knock off rose gold bracelet, even in cluster form? We'll get into that more in a moment, but for now, just know that cluster headaches are also referred to as "suicide headaches," and for exactly the terrifying reason you suspect. We spoke to five people who live every day with the fear of these headaches. They told us .

We were not being dramatic in the intro (okay, we were being dramatic about our dead Tamagotchi, but not about the headache thing). Tons of people who have super impressive initials next to their names insist that cluster headaches are the worst possible pain a human can experience. According to Brown University, it feels like having a tiny demon poke you in the eye. That's not a weirdo throwaway description we made up. There are illustrations.

Everyone we spoke to vividly remembers their worst cluster headache. Ten year old Jeff's sleepover became overrun with nightmares the first time he experienced this level of pain. "It was really embarrassing, but also terrifying, because I immediately thought I had a tumor or something,van cleef and arpels replica bracelet alhambra," he says. John recalls a pain so intense that he thought it would kill him then and there. "I remember one attack that was so brutally severe that I kept seeing the word 'ANEURYSM' flashing in bright red letters in my mind. I honestly thought something in my brain was going to break and kill me."

This can't be said enough: Despite what the name suggests, these are not "headaches" as you think of them. Everyone has had headaches, and around a quarter of you have suffered from a migraine. We don't want to downplay those we refer to migraines as "prom headaches" because all we can do when they hit is sit at home and cry. But just as a migraine is not the same as a headache, clusters are not the same as migraines. "I've had migraines," Jeff says. "Those are very painful, but nothing like this."

Clusters rarely last more than an hour, which you might think is a mercy at least they're relatively short. But that also means there's no effective legal medication for them; by the time that stuff hits your bloodstream, it's already useless. The upside is that clusters come at about the same time, for the same length of time, every time, so you'll at least know in advance when your hour in Hell is coming up. Sheena says that stubbing their toes and getting hot oil splattered in their eye barely even registers on the pain scale anymore. Nickolus says, "I'm typing this with a broken knuckle and finger bone on my right hand that I've been able to completely ignore, due to the fact that I'm so used to pain being the norm. I didn't even get my hand looked at for days after it happened. The only, only thing that's been able to put me down pain wise has been severe migraines and cluster migraines. No other pain seems . important.""Compared to that fucking eye demon, this is downright relaxing."

Tyler shares Nickolus' nonchalant attitude toward shattered body parts, having taken a moving vehicle to the face and walked it off like a goddamn Terminator. "I didn't have insurance at the time and I didn't want to be stuck with a bill, so I stuck it out on the couch. I had some broken ribs and a concussion. That's the second time we've emphasized that fact, and here's why: "I use psychedelics to kill the episode," Tyler says. Yes, the same kind you'd take to communicate with the Earth Mother, or maybe make you think you're a Gummi Bear for an afternoon.

"Take two tabs and come down in the morning."

Of course, you can't simply pop a tab of acid whenever the need arises and trip balls through the pain circus, because that would make it difficult to function (and psychedelics take a while to kick in anyway). It's more of a prevention strategy. "I just use them when they start, and I'm good for nine months to a year. Unfortunately, you can't get a prescription for mushrooms or LSD."

So there's only one trip, and you choose the time and place, then you've got a whole season free of the devil ineptly trying to take your contacts out. On the slightly more functional end of the scale, John believes that marijuana not only helps to alleviate the pain of a cluster attack, but also eases the anxiety of the impending head stab as well. Nickolus agrees: "There's too large a list of medicines that have been shown to work to ignore just because the government wouldn't like it if I decided to use them instead of the insane painkiller regimen they stick me with.""This one is for the pain, and this one is for the side effects to the one for the pain,van cleef and arpels alhambra knock off bracelet,

and this one's for the side effects caused by the side effects to the one for the pain. That'll be $6,000."

Nearly everyone we spoke to sang the praises of one medication, though: oxygen tanks. Well hell, that seems easy enough, right? Why is this even a problem anymore if we've got such an accessible and simple form of treatment? Because, unfortunately, "it's really hard to get a prescription for that," Tyler says. "It's one of the most successful methods out there, but it isn't understood as useful for this treatment,van cleef fake alhambra bracelet, so not a lot of people get to use it."

Word gets around about where to find illicit air, though. The solution: welding supply shops. But that means you can't use health insurance to pay for it, and since the oxygen tank and regulator can cost upwards of $400, some thrifty cluster sufferers have resorted to building their own makeshift rigs that involve huffing oxygen out of plastic bags, like the shameful air fiends they are.
