...I drank rather heavily for the past 11 years....and a heckofa lot on and off for the preceeding 20 years. My Clusterheadaches began about 8 years ago during that time in and out of cycle, consumption of alcohol did not trigger clusters.
Drinking did damn near ruin my life. I cannot touch it now or it will....but it never caused Clusters. Hellofa note huh?
Having lived in that little corner of Clusterville is one reason I cring when someone pontificates on this board using superlatives which claim knowledge of scientific absolutes about the nature of Clusters.
The causes, triggers, characteristics and pain management techniques do not fit EVERYONE ALWAYS. That's why this site exists, is so important, is so volatile, is such a refuge.
Noone controls or completely understands the shitstorm of pain we find ourselves in. CHMB is the finest port in this storm. Hang up yer wet coat and come closer to the fire. Yer welcome here. Somebody get Dwinzona a drink.
