I only have 2 triggers. Anything and nothing.

Kinda like smoking... I only smoke on 4 occasions. When I get out of bed, after eating, after sex, and if I haven't had one for 20 min's...
Clusters follow a very similar pattern.

Alchohol, and I think chocolate will bring trigger one for me in a cycle. Like luke does I avoid thess things in a cycle. I still get the HAs though. I never tried fasting.

Luke 63,
I have actually read in a health journal here in Aus, that headaches create a craving for chocolate prior to experiencing the pain, rather than chocolate= pain

Take notice next time and see what happens.

I definately get a craving for sweets when in cycle, must have icrecream and chocolate in the house, but have not linked h/a with consumption.

alcolohol is the only one I know for completely sure, anything else, well it doesn't really matter!! I will get CH no matter what! one day I can eat garlic the next I can't one day I can eat pickles the next I can't...you get the gist huh?

I have exactly one beer that has been in my fridge now for about a month. Man that will be the best tasting hops when this cycle is over [smiley=beer.gif].

Stress is also a big factor--especially when I'm driving on long trips or hit a !$#@&^ traffic jam. Getting a CH in the car is definitely not fun.

CANDY (not just chocolate, anything sweet)

LACK OF SLEEP - Tend to get headaches all day.

Don't feel so bad---I can't watch friggin' television. Got about a 35 minute window and after that it's screaming pain. Every time.

Try to imagine what a glass of wine and a movie would do to me!
