Can O2 cause rebound headaches?
Jul 18th, 2010 at 10:20am
 
In my latest cycle, I've been having one headache per day. Usually after I go to sleep. Yesterday, I had one at 5pm, then at 1am, then 4am. I used O2 successfully for each - but is it possible that the 4am headache was a 'rebound'. What to do?

thanks in advance,
-peter-

Had CH hits yesterday at 3pm, 10:30pm and again at 2am.   None of these were rebounds, but lets just say the beast doesn't like it when you don't allow him to torture you mercilessly.

I have had rebound CH hits after using any type of abortive including O2.  I don't always get them but on occasion I do.

How do you tell the difference between a rebound headaches and a 'normal' one?

You can usually tell, each person has their own ways of telling if it's a rebound or not.  It's the feel of the hit that is a bit different or the intensity is a bit lower and the timing of the second/rebound hit.

It may take you a bit of time if you are new to CH to figure out when you are having a rebound.  For instance since you asked the question, you could already tell that something was different with your current norm for CH.  The problem is the Beast can change on you in a heart beat so what might be your norm for 1 cycle (if you have them) may change for your next cycle.  Or the change can happen in the current cycle. 

The one thing you will figure out quickly is the beast is a wicked wicked thing.

The only piece of advice I can give is to keep a log and make sure you log how you deal with each hit as well.  Experience and knowledge is the best teacher.

In relation to Ginger's reply and to evade any definition of rebounds, oxygen is an abortive, effective for subsiding a hit.  The number of hits that may occur can require an abortive each time.

As well as others, I've had morning hits be regularly popular and the thought of this particular hit doesn't present itself as differently described so much as being a rebound considering its partial regularity.  Frequency at times acquires a free hand to repeatedly afflict at its chosen will.
