Ice Chewers?

I've found over the years that one of the first things I do when I get hit with a CH is reach for a large cup of ice to chew on. I don't find much relief putting it on my eye or head, but chewing on it seems to help calm down my totally inflamed left side of my head.
Anyone else do this?

Nope, I put it on my eye and temple, back of neck, top of head.......
I just put it where it hurts or think it will kill the pain but never chew it, I was never able to to that....To me thats almost as bad as CH......LOL

You know, that sounds pretty harmless but damn cold. Maybe it works to some degree. If so, great.
I do enjoy chewing the ice in the bottom of a high ball. Somehow things seem different after a few.

You might think I am crazy but I can identify with your ice. Here is another odd thing that works for me.
You know the headache that you get when you drink a cold drink/shake to fast (i.e. Ice Headache). When I have a CH in the middle of the night, left hemisphere of the brain, I intentionally try to give myself an Ice headache. Miraculously, I don't get an Ice Headache, but my CH does begin to go away. I happened upon this totally by accident last week. I still take meds too.
I thought about sharing this info on this site but thought people would think I was crazy.

;  Good Gawd Man! Chewing on ice would send me through the roof! It's Heat that helps me. Ever since the Headaches started three years ago I haven't been able to stand the cold!
The shakes I get when having a cluster is the closest I want to get to shivering. Of course a little meat on my bones wouldn't hurt either.
steaming HOT damp towel to the back of my head an the right side of my face, being cold in general has triggered a response in me more often than heat but if i get too hot they come as well.

I've used this ice remedy. When ever the pain would approach the kip 6 or 7 mark my teeth would be starting to hurt. I just bite on an ice cube until the pain from the cold overcomes the pain from the cluster attack.

What other kind of people would replace one pain for another besides the CH gang. We are certainly a unique group!

I can confirm that.. I just got back from the bayou. They DO all ice their beer.. and when you order it.. it comes that way in some places!!
And they do have the nicest people in the world down there. Everyone has that southern cajun hospitality. I enjoyed it and the only reason I wanted to leave was the HEAT... OMG.. you could cut the humidity with a knife down there.. I don't know how you breathe. It sure is a far cry from Chicagoland!!!
Ramon already answered the ice question... i just wanted to add my 2 cents about that.
