Loud Noise Trigger?
May 22^nd, 2010 at 1:05am

Am I the only one whose CH's are triggered by loud noise?

I've got some of the common triggers - alcohol, certain times of the day and of course the random ones that occur for no reason.

At the very start of a cycle, I could be drinking at a bar without problems until the band fires up. The combination of two triggers will then set off a headache. Mid-cycle, turning up to a concert will easily trigger a headache without alcohol.

I'm thinking of keeping some disposable foam earplugs in my cluster kit - I can already imagine the funny looks that I'll get when I tell people it's for preventing headaches.

Now trying a beer test - fingers crossed.

you know loud noise never bothered me. seems like i could run a 90# jack hammer all day long, breath the dust and never get hit. 20 minutes into my ride home i'd get hit.

i don't think it the noise of the bar so much as it is the beer. when you were at the bar/club were you dancing and being active or just sitting there drinking a beer?

for me physical activity keeps my attacks at bay. when i sit down and relax, thats when i get hit.

Loud noise helps me when I get a headache. It doesn't make it better, per se, but helps it from getting worse.

Reply #4 - May 22^nd, 2010 at 10:18am Triggers...definitely one of the more individualized aspects of the beast! Loud noises have never been an issue for me. Physical activity used to work as a prevent for me but now I've had to start carrying Trex on my longer rides as I've gotten hit twice will bicycle riding! Joe

Fortunately MSG isn't a trigger for me... living in Hong Kong would be a deathtrap! Shocked

Yeah, definitely noise - I've spent a day in the countryside away from car fumes and alcohol and other characteristics of urban life, only to have an attack start as soon as a concert started.

Perhaps I'm the first clusterhead with this peculiar trigger.

Now trying a beer test - fingers crossed.
