ok, this is gonna sound screwy. when traveling during my cluster period i rely on mega servings of mountain dew. i often have to drive the nine hours or so from nc to nj and driving with a CH is bad news. so, i drink about a case of soda and it does the trick. here's the catch, for nine hours i have this quasi-aura headache and when i get to my destination and stop the pop intake i get hit full bore by a very resentful and angry CH. the other catch is all the potty breaks, and the gas, and all that mt. dew makes you fat (which doesn't help with the prednisone). i have also used dr. pepper, anything with a nice high amount of caffeine per serving will do. oh yeah, and it makes me a rather ornery driver.
