triggers....

Kind of embarrasing intro, but here goes -- I have had 4 "episodes" and all were triggered by bowel movement. I have read and read, and cannot find one reference to this being a trigger. Has anyone heard of this, and if so, was there a therapy that helped??
Thank you...

hey smedical,
welcome to the site. i can't say that I've seen anybody ever cite a BM as a trigger before. that doesn't mean it can't be so as a lot of us have strange triggers.
a lot of folks have a great sense of humor and your post may elicit a few funny replies. my first reaction was to say the following (which I have now veiled in a thinly sensitive first poster reply):
"Haven't heard of that but you might want to check out Frank's post from earlier:
http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=funnies;acti on=display;num=1126721663"
but seriously, as folks vascular pressure in their head can be affected by forcing out a dump, you might find that this is what could be doing it. unless of course, like many others, it is aroma-triggered, and then, well... never mind.
outside of that I can't give you any more serious of a reply, as hard as I try.
do you have meds to knock back a hit? Are you using a regular doc, or neuro?
Scott

Uh... Maybe some laxatives and a little more fiber in your diet?

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Does the above statement mean that you have ONLY had four headaches?
This is key!!

I don't know about the BM being a trigger but you do have a lot of guts no pun intended.
Hope everything comes out all right.

Especially if he's episodic and only "trigger" once a year.
