Migranes, Panic Attacks, and Precognition

[Operculum]

Hello whoever you are. I have been experiencing some really strange things lately in my life.
To give you some history of me...

1. I suffered my first and worst migraine headache at 13 years old. It was the most painful headache of my entire life, I was bleeding from the ears, smells were intensified, light hurt my eyes, i was vomiting for 12 hours straight, and the pain lasted 12+ hours. I had a MRI which revealed I also suffered a concussion even though the only thing I did was bump my hand against my head. I also lost vision, which occurs during migraines. I had patches of white electrical clouds that masked parts of my visual field.

2. I have suffered extreme anxiety my whole life. All in social situations. My anxiety was so bad that I was delusional senior year in high school and thought people were trying to kill me in class. I eventually recovered, but I am still a VERY socially awkward nervous person.

I smoalked some spice about 8 months ago and it left me with a very odd feeling in my head. I felt dizzy and off somehow. The next day I went into work. I was sitting at work when all of a sudden, I started to panic. I could not even do basic tasks to save my life. I felt like I was about to die. My perception of where my body was was off. If I closed my eyes, I normally can touch my two index fingers together of each hand. Not today, whatever center in the brain that controls that function was malfunctioning.

I quickly ran to check my blood pressure. It was 180/100, heart rate 180. I was freaking out, and it was at work in front of everyone to see. I tried maintaining composure, however, I knew I had several hours still on the clock. What had I done? Did DMT do this to me? I decided to call my boss and tell him I had to go home. I was so dizzy and off balance that I had my girlfriend pick me up leaving my vehicle at work. It took a week before I could return to work as thats how long the symptoms lasted. I saw a Dr. and saw I smoked a cigarette and this happened. He told me that I was having a panic attack.

The panic went away and I finally went back to work. Well this is where things get interesting...

A month or so ago, I suddenly thought about my old science teacher from Michigan, his name is Jim Preston. I don't know why but I felt compelled to search for him on facebook. I didn't find him, however, the next day on my facebook feed, I got a random advertisement that said, Michigan Teacher Convicted of Child Pornography. It was Mr. Preston and the same day that I had searched for him, was the same day he was caught at the school he worked with a USB drive full of the filth he downloaded.

I didn't put 2 and 2 together until today, but....that same week that happened, I suffered another panic attack which went away within 2 hours. I also suffered a migraine WITHOUT the headache. I only had increased smell perception, partial loss of visual field by the "electric clouds", and light sensitivity.

I called my mother to tell her about the Michigan Teacher. She gasped and told me that I inherited her ability to sense things before they happen. My mother is not very spiritual or into any of that mumbo jumbo so I was surprised to head this from her. She told me that her mother had this ability too and that I was gifted with precognition and that I needed to listen to myself more often.

So this week, things got really intersting. I suffered ANOTHER non headache migraine, and then a few days later at work AGAIN, I suffered another short 2 hour panic attack. I also remember thinking about my friend who recently moved to California with his wife. For some strange reason I thought to myself...."Man, I wonder how he is doing? I havent heard from him in a while....I wonder if his wife is ok? I wonder if she was hurt?" I thought of what I would say to him if he told me his wife died or was hurt. I remember thinking..."I like my friend a lot so I would show him that I cared and ask how she was doing.

Well this very day folks, a day after my thought that occurred of my friend, I got a call out of the blue from him. The first thing he tells me is that his wife was hurt at work. Someone dropped a 5 lb metal object while they were standing on a platform and it landed on her head. She was taken to the ER. My friend asked me if he thought I think the Dr. should take a MRI of her head or not. Before answering him, I remember thinking, "Oh yeah, remember to ask if shes doing OK".

I asked the question in the concerned tone of voice that I had imagined myself asking him when I played the scenario in my head. I was pleased with how I asked, because he is not a friend that I really ever showed that I cared about him. I wanted to show him that I had a heart and cared about his well being as well as hers. He said she was doing OK.

So I have found a pattern here developing.

1. Non migraine headache occurs while at work
2. In a few days I have a terrible panic attack at work
3. My mind thinks about something specific while at work which has relevance to a later event far away from my location

I also would like to mention....years ago I had a spontaneous TEMPORARY Kundalini awakening when I was on MDMA at 16 years old. I KNOW it was a Kundalini experience. There is no doubt in my mind. I did not know what the hell happened to me at the time, until years later when I finally read about Kundalini. Short explanation: I found that rolling my next side to side while listening to trance music and getting a light show from my friend greatly intensified my MDMA roll. I did it a little more and suddenly I felt this energy shoot into my brain and the only was I can explain is....

I suddenly felt myself as a drop of water in an ocean of love consciousness. I was ripped out of this state shortly after as my friend accidentally hit me in the eye with the glow stock. I was ripped from the Kundalini experience and was rolling on the floor holding my right eye in terrible pain.

Interesting experience,the brain is still a huge mystery but that aside have you yourself had an MRI scan? Have been to see a Dr about your migraines?
I suggest you do so as a precaution and dont automatically assume the events are related.

The question is: Are (1) the headaches/panic attacks caused by the precognition, (2) is it the other way around, or (3) do they have a common cause?

1. There are ways to induce headaches/panic attacks to test the latter scenario, but I think the former scenario is more likely.
2. I would look into what causes headaches/panic attacks and where in the brain these occur. This might help you zero in on the type of brain function/region associated with your precognition.
3. In this case, you might try doing things (drugs, activities, foods (e.g. sugar can cause a headache), etc) that you associate with headaches and/or panic attacks, as one of them (or several of them simultaneously) may be a trigger for the precognition as well. And then of course there are other ways to alter one's brain: TMS, hanging upside down, etc.

I don't recommend you do any of this because it's most likely that it was all just coincidence, but these are just some ideas.

And then of course you could ask some questions such as "Why are the precognitions so vague?", "Is there some connection between the precognitions?", "Is this really retrocognition?". Based on the personal nature of the precognitions, I think you exert some control over their nature. For example, you probably don't have precognition about events on Venus because they are of no USE to you.

I would be very, very hesitant to jump to the conclusion that you have some supernatural power. That's not to categorically say that it is impossible, but extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and two coincidences doesn't really strike me as extraordinary evidence.

Psychedelics (esp. those with tryptamine cores), like DMT, psilocybin, and LSD have been shown to be useful in preventing all kinds of cluster headaches. I also suffer from migraines and take a drug called sumatriptan (brand name: Imitrex) that is very similar in structure to DMT. People who suffer from migraines and cluster headaches have found that LSD and magic mushrooms can abort the headaches and limit how frequently they attack (again, I can vouch for this, when I microdose, I get far fewer migraines).

It doesn't surprise me at all that smoking DMT would lead to a change in your migraine headaches. Wait a few weeks and see if it lasts.

As for the clairvoyance thing, I think you may be reading too much into it, honestly. I would consider staying away from psychedelics for a little while though, in the wrong brain, they can lead to disorganized or distorted thinking.

Having precognitive experiences is not a sign of mental imbalance, although reading too much into it might be.

Although it is apparently not common (or commonly spoken about), I feel that these experiences are rather more natural than supernatural, but that is just my particular opinion.

The fact that it seems to elude the grasp of experimental science is not a good reason to deny its existence or to belittle those who have these experiences. Experimental science should be honest about its inability to explain these phenomena and not demand accountability from those who experience what lies beyond its powers. After all they are not making scientific claims.

I didn't deny it's existence (in fact, I expressly stated that I was not denying it's existence), but I do think it is not unreasonable to say that, if you are claiming a phenomena that does not fit with pretty much all the laws of physics as we know them to be, I will need some pretty strong evidence to be convinced.

This doesn't cut it. If you can, under controlled conditions, predict something, repeatedly, then I'll happily bite.

As for the last comment, about making a scientific claim, I take a whole host of issues with it: namely, that science should be able to tackle any claim.

Oh but I don't think anybody is trying here to convince you. Someone described a personal experience, that's all. There was, as I read it, no attempt made to make authoritative claims in the domain of the physical sciences.

This doesn't cut it. If you can, under controlled conditions, predict something, repeatedly, then I'll happily bite.

But that is exactly the domain of experimental science, and it is limited to that. But reality is not limited to that.

As for the last comment, about making a scientific claim, I take a whole host of issues with it: namely, that science should be able to tackle any claim.

I hope that that wasn't what I said or implied. Experimental science should be able to handle any scientific claim. For the rest, it should meekly accept being limited to that subset of reality that consists of events that can be repeated under controlled conditions.

If we were to demand from everyone that they only make statements that are scientifically scrutinizable, we would be imprisoning ourselves. I have a high regard for science as a liberator and enabler, not as an imprisoner. I don't think that should be the ulterior objective of science.
