Is it typical for you to lose lots of weight when in cycle?..

Yes. That's because I'm afraid to eat........when ya eat you "slow down" and that's when I get hit. So, I tend to drink lots of coffee and try and keep busy and not eat or sleep or do anything that induces "relaxation".........

Hi David,
Normally, I have always lost weight, due I think to the stress of the Ch. This time, however, I put on lots of weight due to the high doses of steroids I was on.

I don't know about "lots" of weight, but I do tend to eat less, mostly because I tend to get hit right before or right as I begin to eat... then an hour to 2 hours later, the food just don't look quite as appetizin'!

I've been gaining because they have my schedule so messed up I am not getting the work I normally do, hence not as much excercise.

From 1969 to 1991, I gained about 20 pounds but it had nothing to do with CH. For the last 12 years they have been gone and I haven't gained at all. In otherwords:

My weight may go down a little but I think that's just due to all of the stress involved and lack of exercise when I'm in a cycle.

Yes, I lost 12 lbs., I think its because I am afraid to eat, because that might bring on a headache. Also I have no desire to eat when I am in cycle. I have to make myself eat when I am in cycle. When I am in cycle I get a weird taste in my mouth, does anyone else get that? ??? ??? ???

I get a taste in my mouth like I just licked a battery... and very little appetite during the episodes.
I often have no food anywhere in my system, it's not uncommon to go 24 - 36 hours on water only.
I suppose I should get some vitamins.

Yes I have loss weight also. It seems like right when I am ready to eat the headache comes and destroys the appetite. The past 3 weeks I have been on a diet on pain killers and coffee, with a couple of meals in between. Hope this ends soon.

That's the taste. Like licking a battary. Makes you loss your appette. (I can't spell during cycle) (Brain meltdown)  If my husband didn't make me eat I wouldn't. I could live on water during a cycle.

Yes. I lose 15-20 per cluster cycle. I don't eat so the cafergot tabs I use will work faster on an empty stomach.

Like Bob P. I lose around 15lbs in a cycle. From reading here we can see most suffers do and looks like most are afraid to eat.
Thanks for the replys PFDAN to all.

I'd say no for me.
I lose my appetite, but then because of lack of sleep my extra activity/exercise decreases too. I've never noticed any weight loss during an episode, but then I really don't have all that many spare pounds to lose in the first place.

I used to lose 10 - 20 lbs each cycle but haven't really lost much since being med-free.
Besides having a bit of an appetite, another reason is I'll eat a lot of small meals. No BIG meals. NEVER MISS ANY MEALS!!! Then, for me, the 'big relaxation on the couch' doesn't happen and I usually only get hit at night.
It works for me...
