Yep, I got a cluster after cutting the grass.
So, I took flexall on my head to open the veins,
took two Exedrin Migranes and found a cool place
to sit down and started drinking water.... lots
and lots of water. I read in a magazine to
avoid the After Excersice Headache is to drink
lots and lots of fluids BEFORE excersice. I did
this and it works. I drink 6 to 8 glasses each
day and I have not had a cluster except yesterday
when my car broke down in the heat and I went without
fluids for 8 hours! My body was very dehydrated.
This WATER and FLUID cure is the one the EMERGENCY
ROOM DOCTOR told me about and I read an article
two years later how this helps those men who
have after sex headaches. Drink your water and
maybe even try two exedrin migranes pills right
after excersice during your cluster cycle and
keep the Athritis heat gel in your gym bag. That
trick has worked for me for two years now! And
I have tried it all ... Imitrex, O2 tanks, steriods,
etc.... My neuro says I have officially clusters,
but these inexpensive tricks work! I swear by them!
