GREAT NEWS!!!

Congrats!!!

I am not convinced that quitting smoking has anything to do with it, but it is better to be a non-smoker. I think the trick that has stopped them is your intake of water. Have you read the water X 3 button on the left of the screen?

Hope this gives you a break till the next cycle. I recommend not having another cycle within the next 99 years.

Keep us up to date

That is great news! I hope your cycle is gone. Water does seem to help with the cycle. With mine it lessened the severity of the headaches at times. I tried to keep hydrated, because I know even the slightest dehydration can cause a headache, not a cluster, but a headache.

I've got a case of ice cold mich.lites in my frige.They look so damn good in there.But I'm scared to death of them right now.When my cycle is over for sure I'm gonna hit 'em hard one time.Black coffee is getting me through.I'm on Relpax.Even though i've read it's not for clusters it seems to be helping.no full blown assults in 3 days,just slight shadow headaches.i can function.

Hunter.

There was a recent post by (I think) Pink Floyd. He wrote an excellent procedure step by step on the shrooms. I can't seem to find it right now. Maybe someone else will know where it's at. Check the Meds board.

yeah the shadow headaches are a beatch...this cycle i got them real bad...i was thinkin i was gettin rebound...shit i dont know...i DO know it was a friggin nitemare..and i agree with ya about alcohol and triggerin attacks...usually for me its not always the trigger...like this time i think it had more to do with me vacationing in a different hemisphere where it was summer time and suddenly coming back to 5 pm nite time that blew my brain apart...who the f knows...the best thing about this cycle was that I found this site...amen and everybody hang in there, please!!!!

Hunterdonguy, PLEASE stick around! We need all the ~~whackos~~ supporters that we can get!

When you're in cycle, you get support. When you are out, you give it. That is the contract that you signed up for. You don't want us to sic Jonny on you! Or scareyer yet, we might even sic COTTIE on you!!!!

Eyecrusher, if a med works for you, then it IS for cluster headaches! I am not sure if ANY med lists that it is for CH! But if it works for you, it goes onto our list of meds that work for some people!

Nice going on the smoking. You're doing you and your wallet a favor. Not sure if Ch is tobacco related. Of course members of the board are smokers at twice the national average.
