Sinus PlumberHeadache Nasal Spray – Headache Formula

I'm a long time sufferer of very frequent migraines. I first started using capsaicin based nasal spray years ago, but that product was discontinued.This is a great replacement.It doesn't get rid of the migraine (neither did the spray I used years ago), but it does help with the pain slightly, which makes the time until other medication starts to work more bearable.It is a very intense feeling when you use it, but it fades quickly. I think that kick in the nose is what makes the migraine pain fade slightly.

After an 11 year hiatus, the beast showed up again. 9 weeks in to the cycle I found and tried this. The very first night the severity diminished drastically, and has since almost disappeared. To be honest, I'm not dure if this stuff is a miracle cure, or I had just reached the end of the cycle. But in either case, I'd recommend that for $15 it's worth a try!!

I have really bad migraines/cluster/allergy headaches, it's probably one of them. This happens about once a month. When it's really bad, and nothing else is working, this is does give temporary relief. It does not make it go away completely, but it eases the pain of the headache for about 20 minutes or so. However, it seems to ease the pain by causing even more intense pain for about 5 seconds when you sniff the peppers and feel like your sinus is on fire. But it still works when nothing else gives any kind of relief

My wife has been suffering from increasingly debilitating, total body shut down, cognitive functions out the window, becomes another person migraines for the past 3 years. She has tried everything including the normal migraine meds, and the best they do is put the migraine off for a few days. In desperation, we ordered this... and then she never tried it.Months went by, and in the middle of an acute migraine where she was suffering terribly, she saw this on the shelf and decided to try it. At that point I had no hope that it would help, she was in the middle of a doozy... but squirt squirt she gave it a shot.... and within minutes she was back.It didn't cure it totally because she was so far into it, but it took it from a 10 to a 2... and now when she feels one coming on she grabs it and uses it, and they never materialize!I've been using it to help with some pain from an extracted tooth, and it really works well, reduces my pain by about 50%. I also plan to use it to help me stay away while driving on long car trips.It's absurd how well this product works. So well that we now have 8 bottles of it in the house... 4 of this version and 4 of the version with eucalyptus (my favorite). So there is always one at hand.The fact that the only side effect we can discern is a runny nose for 30 seconds after is pretty amazing considering how big pharma has failed us totally in this area. If you have migraines or pain, it's worth the small amount of money to see if it works for you.We received nothing for this review, but if reading it helps someone who has been suffering like my wife has, then my time in writing it was all worth it.

Other cluster sufferers know, autumn is the worst. So I didn't expect much, I was wrong. I was hoping for a 50% reduction in time/intensity, Exceeded my expectations by a mile. IF YOU USE IT IMMEDIATELY, when you even think one is coming. If you wait until a cluster is already happening then it is too late and you are going to pay just like normal. Now, just be prepared for what you are about to do to yourself. The first 30 seconds is not going to be like being licked by puppies. Just embrace the suck and you will be rewarded with a shut down of "the monster". If you are like me, O2 therapy, Triptans, etc will not stop the cycle then I recommend giving this a try.

I've been having cluster headaches almost everyday for five months. I did not know they were cluster headaches until recently, I thought it was actually tooth pain and had a tooth pulled to find out it wasn't my teeth. I googled "my eye feels like it's exploding" and found out it's the big clusters. If you have them you know the pain, if you don't have them I will say it feels like my eyeball is a balloon and someone is blowing it up to the point it's JUST about to pop. Incredible pain.Unfortunately when I found this out I tried to get an urgent appointment with my doctor, but he can't see me for a few weeks. So I've had to be creative with dealing with the pain.I did a lot of research and found out about this capsaicin spray. The theory on this is that the nerve that is causing the pain connects in your nose canal, and the capsaicin can basically numb this nerve temporarily. I wasn't hopeful because many said it didn't work for them, but I had to try. But this claims to be helpful with clusters and other headaches.I really can't say if this works or not because my clusters are unpredictable. I sometimes get what is called a shadow which can come before or after an attack. I have gotten shadows that tell me a cluster is about to start, but the cluster sometimes (rarely) doesn't come. So I can't say if this really has worked or not but I BELIEVE that if I catch it soon enough that this spray has either prevented an attack or at least made it less excruciating.I'd say if anything, it helps LESS than half of the time which is better than nothing. If you are having clusters and you don't have access to imitrex or O2 tank, this spray is worth a shot.I use this spray every day and my nose hasn't gotten used to the burn. The burn isn't as bad as I'd expect it to be. Eating capsaicin is a worse burn than up the nose. I kinda think that maybe there's a small amount or no capsaicin in this spray but I can't say for sure. There is a burn though and it has irritated my nose. I think sometimes it makes my inner nose raw so the next time I use it the burn is enough to make me tear up.So my review is inconclusive. It's worth a shot. There's no strong smell to it but it has a faint particular scent. If you breathe in too deeply when you spray it can make your throat itch and cause coughing. But the burning itching and coughing is all better than a cluster headache. For the record I probably won't be buying this again after it runs out. Mostly because by then I will have imitrex and other abortives, but also because I don't have a lot of faith in this product plus I think it's expensive for what it is. I can get stronger capsaicin for cheaper if I wanted to. I don't regret trying it though and I will use it until it's gone.
