Well hang in there bedhead - don't borrow any guns from anyone. Sex is a much funner way to deal with the pain. Since this is a new-comer, I'll spill the beans and let you know what works for me - I have found that if I feel the "beast" on its way (which is almost always in the middle of the night) well then I just roll over onto my husband and ride the night away, he can even stay sleeping if he wants (but he never does). I don't know if its the blood rushing to other body parts but it almost always helps the headaches! Or at least shortens them. And if you don't have a partner to roll over on then I'm sure you can use your imagination - doesn't matter how you get there - the ending is always the same and that's the part that does the job  Best of luck to you all............... PFDAN's ahead to all of you!!!

I didn't know how to bring it up, so I'm glad someone else said it before I did. It is the only thing that I have found so far to relieve the headaches. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I've actually thought about posting something similar to this many times but never got up the nerve to bring it up. When I get my CH's - usually about an hour after I go to sleep - I will "handle up on my business" as it were. It almost always helps subdue the pain and, in some instances, chases the headache away completely.
I will say that about 1/2 through my episodic cycle (where I am right about now) I get real tired of it, though. Maybe this will help others, maybe not. But there is something to the endorphin rush that does help battle CH's.

It's ok thomas, don't worry about your skeleton's ---
There are 2 kinds of people in this world:
Those that do it and admit it and
Those that do it and deny it.....
Either way - Everybody does it.

There's nothing like having a dental pick scracthing on my brain to get me in the mood. Seriously, I just don't like feeling that I'm "forced" to do it. It's part of my headache routine, same as taking a blistering hot shower or coming close to hyperventilating cold air outside. Basically, I don't really enjoy anything that represents what I have to do to deal with this MF'ing thing.
Don't get me wrong, I loves me some sex but I'd gladly be celibate for life if I could just have my brain back.

During a bout of sustained vigorous, or even somewhat vigorous exercise, cortisol levels increase immediately and produce an elevated cortisol to DHEA ratio. Around 3 hours after the activity has ceased, cortisol levels decrease to a level equal to or lower than the levels prior to exercise. Perhaps these cortisol levels, or some aspect of the process of dramatic increases and decreases in cortisol or cortisol to DHEA ratios play a role in aborting or triggering an attack.
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is a natural, intermediate steroid hormone produced in our body by the adrenal glands. DHEA is called "mother of hormones", or prohormone because DHEA is further converted to generate 50 other essential hormones. For example, DHEA is converted to androgens (male hormones) or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells. DHEA is the most abundant hormone in our blood, and adequate blood DHEA level is critical for many vital hormonal and metabolic functions of our body.

I have a question.
Does this sex thing work if you wake with a full blown CH?

It really only helps during the onset of mine. Perhaps others have differing experiences.

Ah. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong.
Sex involves exertion then? I'll get back to you.

Good step. Most of these folks have been at this FAR too long to remember the _initial_ shock of realizing they had CH for life.
Not me.
OK....back to the alternative therapy session.
