I Hope You All Enjoy it!
My interest in the paranormal started at
a very young age, I was roughly 2 years old when
I had my 1st precognitive
dream. From there I have had many other precognitive
dreams as
well as OBE's where I experienced actual events and brought back
proof to
the parties involved. In a few cases they weren't too
happy with the events in question. This
has not dissuaded me from
exploring the Paranormal in this respect or any other aspect of
the
Paranormal for that matter.
I have also written 3 articles so far regarding Dreams and OBE's for my website feel
free to have a peek
( Nightmares, You can Control them. NDE vs. OBE
Fear of having an OBE ).

Feel Free to check out the extensive Dream Dictionary on my site as well or even find out what meanings Colors can have in dreams. I have many other Articles on my site from "How To's" to Crystals, Meditation and Practical Application Steps for beginners' who want to experience an OBE.

Cluster Headache Info
Definition
Cluster headaches are characterized by anintense one-sided pain centered by the eye ortemple. The pain lasts for one to two hours onaverage and may recur several times in aday.
Description
Cluster headaches have been known as histamineheadaches, red migraines, and Horton's disease,among others. The constant factor is the pain,which transcends by far the distress of themore common tension-type headache or even thatof a migraine headache.
Cluster headaches afflict less than 0.5% of thepopulation and predominantly affect men;approximately 80% of sufferers are male. Onsettypically occurs in the late 20s, but there isno absolute age restriction. Approximately 80%of cluster headaches are classified asepisodic; the remaining 20% are consideredchronic. Both display the same symptoms.However, episodic cluster headaches occurduring one to five-month periods followed by sixto 24-month attack-free, or remission, periods.There is no such reprieve for chronic clusterheadache sufferers.
Causes and symptoms
Biochemical, hormonal, and vascular changesinduce cluster headaches, but why these changesoccur remains unclear. Episodic clusterheadaches seem to be linked to changes in daylength, possibly signaling a connection to theso-called biological clock. Alcohol, tobacco,histamine, or stress can trigger clusterheadaches. Decreased blood oxygen levels(hypoxemia) can also act as a trigger,particularly during the night when anindividual is sleeping. Interestingly, thetriggers do not cause cluster headaches duringremission periods.
The primary cluster headache symptom isexcruciating one-sided head pain centeredbehind an eye or near the temple. This pain mayradiate outward from the initial focus andencompass the mouth and teeth. For this reason,some cluster headache sufferers may mistakenlyattribute their pain to a dental problem.Secondary symptoms, occurring on the same sideas the pain, include eye tearing, nasalcongestion followed by a runny nose, pupilcontraction, and facial drooping orflushing.
Diagnosis
Cluster headache symptoms guide the diagnosis.A medical examination includes recordingheadache details, such as frequency andduration, when it occurs, pain intensity andlocation, possible triggers, and any priorsymptoms. This history allows other potentialproblems to be discounted.
Treatment
Treatment for cluster headaches is composed ofinduction, maintenance, and symptomatictherapies. The first two therapies areprophylactic treatments, geared towardpreventing headaches. Symptomatic therapy ismeant to stop or shorten a headache.
Induction and maintenance therapies begintogether. Induction therapy is intended tobreak the headache cycle with drugs such ascorticosteroids (for example, prednisone) ordihydroergotamine. These drugs are not meantfor long-term therapy, but rather as ajump-start for maintenance therapy. Maintenancetherapy drugs include verapamil, lithiumcarbonate, ergotamine, and methysergide. Thesedrugs have long-term effectiveness, but must betaken for at least a week before a response isobserved. With long-term treatment,methysergide must be stopped for one month eachyear to avoid dangerous side effects (formationof fibrous tissue inside the abdominal artery,lungs, and heart valves).
Despite prophylactic treatment, headaches maystill occur. Symptomatic therapy includesoxygen inhalation, sumatriptan injection, andapplication of local anesthetics inside thenose. Surgery is a last resort for chroniccluster headaches that fail to respond totherapy.
Alternative treatment
Since some cluster headaches are triggered bystress, stress reduction techniques, such asyoga, meditation, and regular exercise, may beeffective.Some cluster headaches may be anallergic response triggered by food orenvironmental substances, therefore identifyingand removing the allergen(s) may be key toresolution of the problem. Histamine is anothersuspected trigger of cluster headaches, andthis response may be controlled with vitamin Cand the bioflavonoids quercetin and bromelain(pineapple enzyme). Supplementation withessential fatty acids (EFA) will help decreaseany inflammatory response.
Physical medicine therapies such as adjustmentsof the spine, craniosacral treatment, andmassage at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)can clear blockages, as can traditional Chinesemedical therapies including acupuncture.Homeopathic treatment can also be beneficial.Nervous system relaxant herbs, used singly orin combination, can allow the central nervoussystem to relax as well as assist in peripheralnerve response. A few herbs to consider forrelaxation are valerian (Valerianaofficinalis), chamomile (Matricaria recutita),rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis), andskullcap (Scutellaria baicalensis).
