Can trauma cause the beast to return?

Thanks to all for responses to my previous post. I have been a "clusterhead" (just learned that term from this site) since 1959. Had more attacks during my 35 - 50 yrs. Have not had an attack for more than 8 years, then the beast returns about 10 days ago. I had a miserable trip to Costa Rica (not the country, 'twas the companion) the latter part of September. First week in October had a malaginant tumor removed from my bladder (they didn't open me for the surgery, so that left only two ways to get to the bladder, and they didn't go through my throat) Last week in October I had surgery to correct a deviated septum. I'm wondering if all this might have brought the beast back. Has anyone had experience in whether or not trauma causes the beast to return?
Heretofore, my wife has detected behavorial changes in me and got me on the Lithium and have not had CH's. This time the rascals slipped in without warning.

Do not know of any direct cause/effect relationship but did experience my worst bout the year I was going to retire. Stress was a factor for me. Sometimes the Beast hit shortly after the stress period ended and sometimes during the "high" stress period.

I'm not sure either but I think stress has brought me into cycles before, but who knows they may have come anyway,

For me, I can amost guarantee I'll get one right before I present to a group - high stress for me. Those are the really nasty ones.
If the kids in class are being particularly "kid"-like, it can bring them on - also high stress...

Dave nearly broke his neck on a trampoline belonging to his nephew... he had only been out of cycle a year and usually went about 2 1/2 or 3 years tween cycles... he had an immediate attack that night and had the longest cycle ever... 7 months straight ended in the hospital on DHE....... was pretty bad... also this last cycle followed knee surgery........ so I think going under anesthesia can also trigger a cycle.................. ree

Not sure. I was pretty stressed when this cycle started, but every Sept-Dec. I have CH.
I think for some reason they will always return sooner or later.

This was a very stressful year for me. Always get my CH in Sept but my Mom passed away 2 months earlier and so far (knock on wood) no CH. My thoughts on that are that my Mom had given me once last gift and that was to be PF.
I personally feel that when the beast is ready to dance, he does.
