yup, hypothalamus is tied to thermoregulation in your body. so, when it is out of whack (like during cluster) it would be normal to expect that a little temp management whackiness may ensue.

I sweat, then I get kind of chilly after they are done. The women-folk are a little more familiar with this syndrome.......

Yes, particularly with severe attacks. Not sure how something can be so painful and not cause permanent physical damage.

Another comment on CH and sweating - Some of the drugs we get to take require stable sodium levels for our bodies to process them properly. Most are also expelled from our bodies through profuse sweating.

If you excecise a lot and/or with summer's hot weather around the corner its important to keep this in mind.

Best wishes,

Tom

Increased sweating, Blood pressure increases in one instance I went to Dr. at 10am bp was 124/78 perfect for a 34yo M at 8:36 with a kip7 it was 188/108....also heart rate increases respirations as well....

I just noticed the sweating for the first time last night, but that was the first attack I've had to which I would assign a kip8 (I'm really picking up on this lingo, here)...I got the sweats and after the pain started to subside an hour later, I got the chills...

Temperature rises, blood pressure rises, rocking and rolling, yes, I sweat during a hit. Then I freeze and have to wrap up in nice thick blankets for awhile.

I would say, sweating during a hit is quite common.

I got pretty warm and if it is a kip 10, I normally undressed and got in to a cold cold shower to feel a little relief...then I get head colds :P

yes, that is one of the signs that tells me Tony is going to have a CH. If he gets really talkative, then it's going to be a big one.

Sometimes are worse than others, but yeah, I do too.

Strange how we can telegraph the oncoming of an attack to our supporters and not realize it. Jane will know one is coming before I do sometimes. I start sniffling, but don't really realize I'm doing it at first.

I suppose what that really says is that y'all love us and are sensitive to our little quirks. Supporters ROCK!!!

yep, to the sweating. and yep, to the supporters knowing before we do. Joe knows when I start the one sided nasal drip before I even notice.

Yep - I usually go outside where it's cool (during the summer this is a pain - then the a/c gets turned down to freezing). BP goes up when I get hit and feels like my head is going to blow off (before the pain hits).

I do then I get the chills when the pain drain comes.

I'm also a very "schvitzy" person in general.
It could be 20 below and my brow is seems to always be beading. It sucks b/c the outward appearance can lead to the perception of me being a nervous person when in fact I am very relaxed and confident with most things in life.

Damn hypothalmus f-ing up my regulatory system :-/ ;)

I love that answer.... ;) Of course I'm ok -- I just have a fetish for sweating, crying in one eye, banging my head and acting like I need to be in the psyche ward!!!

The first time I saw another Cher go into a hit, I immediately asked, "Can I do something to help you?" Well, Kip (of the Kip scale) very politely (he was such a polite man) told me to F*&^ OFF! :D

Then there was the night in Atlanta that we almost lost DJ. I got hit during the dinner and politely took my meds and left the room. I was standing in an empty lobby banging my head on a granite wall, when DJ walks up and begins discussing some business that required rational thought. Luckily my meds kicked in before we got into anything specific, so he's alive to reproduce today. I don't know if he ever noticed I was not my usual happy self.

But the good part is we can come here and laugh about it. That keeps us relatively sane (well, most of us).

Nope, Barb, I AIN'T touching that one!!!

On sweating: The first convention I went to, a fellow clusterhead held me to keep me from ripping my hair out, and smashing my head on the floor. For some reason, I allowed him, and other clusterheads, since then, to do that, where I have never let ANYONE else touch me while getting hit. BUT, he told me that he could tell how bad a hit it was, by my body temperature. He said on a KIP8 or higher, he almost couldn't touch me, as I was so hot.

I never knew that in the over 25 years of the beast.

My Doctor wanted me to have a (MRI) prior to my last Botox treatment and boy; WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!
I was doing fine 1/2 way through it and the Beast came calling! So guess what happened? That little bubble that put in my hand! I almost burst it trying to get someones attention!
The nurse came over and he said sir if you could only give us 20 more minutes we'll be done!
I told him sir, do you see the sweat and the tears and the shaking? Do you think I can give you 20 minutes?
He said I need to give you a shot of dye into your vains!
I said I need a shot but it ain't dye!

My wife says i turn into Chernobyl I glow so hot! I love my face in front of the cars AC on full when I'm getting hit.
