I'm sure everyone is already aware that alcohol is a huge trigger for CH. Do you know how many products contain alcohol? I was reading at another site the other day, and someone mentioned this. I checked and there is alcohol in the mouthwash I have been using daily, toothpaste, deodorant, various hair products, PAM cooking spray. I decided to eliminate these because I already know better than to take even a sip of beer. I don't know if I was getting enough in my system to cause a CH but worth a try. I didn't get my morning headache yesterday. First time in a long time. Did get my required evening one though. I've been getting a CH mid morning ever since I started taking Melatonin SR at night. I don't get the CH in the middle of the night anymore, but I do get them in the morning now. To me that's preferable to not getting a good night's sleep though.
