This was "interesting"

Tomorrow is the last day of the first accounting period in the hotel where I work.
So, we had to do inventories. I get the food store room and coolers. While I was in the walk in cooler, the Beast decides to let me know he was thinking of me. The nose pain, jaw pain and temporal pain all hit suddenly. Fortunately it never got above a kip3.
So, I finished counting the food in the first cooler, and start towards the meat cooler. I took a little break and during that brief five minutes the pain vanished. I go into the meat cooler and BAM, not even a minute into the inventory, it's back at kip3. I finished the meat inventory and go to my office and the pain vanishes again.
I knew the Beast would show up again. I was getting just a little too cocky lately.
Anyone have cooler temps bring on an attack?

It used to be the opposite for me. I was a line cook for a number of years and if I had a shadow (or worse) come on I'd head into the walk-in and it would abort it a number of times. I never had one triggered by being in it though -- unless I was emptying out the N2O from the whipped cream canisters.

Hi-Ho Silver Dolphins,
Just thought I'd let you know that sometimes when I go out into the cold it will bring on my clusters.
Also, when I get a CH I drop an Amerge and take a shower as hot as I can stand, that helps my headaches tons and sometimes gets rid of them completely!

... and there are those that say cold air is almost as good as oxygen. 
In my experience: Cold air (around freezing) is slightly better than nothing, but a very, very poor substitute of oxygen.
Well, we clusterheads are all individualists. ;D

Cold is a relief. Coming in from the cold air to an overheated building, I sometimes feel the usual twinges of the bastard. If I drink some cold water, I may be able to abort it. Doesn't always work.

Heat Bad, Cold Good
Before I knew what these were, I'd be outside in the middle of the night in December pacing & sucking in air as fast as I could. Made for a strange sight - a guy in shorts & t-shirt walking in circles in the snow.
Even now after I know what to call them, when I get hit I still search out a cool spot.

Heat Good - Cold Bad !!
When in cycle, ice cream, cold drinks, air cond in my truck etc will trigger..
Hot coffee, hot showers etc helps me..
Makes for a strange sight in a parking lot somewhere in southern Cal, in 100 + degree heat - drinking hot coffee, standing beside the truck - looking like a overdosed meth-freak with sweat dripping from a totally soaked t-shirt..
 ;D ;D

LOL Marty 
Like Ueli said, each clusterhead is different. I guess we would be just about opposites. OUCH oughta have pictures of both of us doing our individual dances (me in the snow and you in the heat) and sell ‘em as bookends.

Being a Cal boy, I used to do the grocery shopping in shorts, t-shirt and barefoot. In cycle, every time I hit the frozen food section, wham, an attack. Left many a half filled cart of groceries sitting in an store.
When I get hit nowdays, I use an icepack on the back of my neck. Don't know that it really helps though.
Like Martin, letting the car ac blow in my face while in cycle sill trigger an attack.
Hot / cold, I just don't know.

just posted this on the thread called 'Termperature thing...'

I think it has to do with 'the change' or 'just doing something'.
'the change' - any abrupt change to divert the pain or keep your mind off it
'just doing something' - trying to keep busy with anything, instead of just concentrating on the pain, or keeping your mind off it
I know this probably sounds crazy, but its my story and I'm sticking to it!

BTW... My vote definitely goes for COLD. Sleeping with the window open when its -15F works for me

I've always thought the cold air helped me with shadows but not nearly enough to abort a full blown ha.
I actually found a fellow clusterhead/employee in the walk-in freezer where I used to work. He was in there doing the "dance" and I happened to walk in on him. After he "recovered" we got to talking and he described what he was going through but had no idea it was CH.
I've had CH's for about 18 years and that's the first and only time I've ever met another clusterhead in person.

Still don't have the answer to the heat/cold dilemna and why we all have variations....
I use heat and cold ( ;D) I'm schitzo and so am I - uh, anyway, I use cold to face and heat to back of neck. After all this time, it's just part of my jitterbug routine. I'd rather be cold during attack, but afterwards, I'm chilled and seek out warmth.....
Yep. It's All Very Strange..... ;D

Working in a resturant, I frequently flux between extremes of hot and cold, sometimes the hot is good some times the cold is good.
What I do know is CH is pretty much never good.
