Glad you are keeping a positive attitude. It is hard at times, I'm on day 24 with 2-3 attacks a day.
The DR. keeps trying different "preventatives", now on verapamil & lithium. Maybe these will break my cycle.
It does help to have support, mine comes from here.
And, I smoke, ...had CH for 4 years, 5 years remission, and just started another cycle...who knows.

i am 29yo and have smoked 15yrs. my first ch was when i was 12yo. i started smoking pot at 16 yo. during my last ch season when i would smoke pot it seemed to trigger these headaches, so i quit for 3 mo. i still had chs. the stress of having these chs at work and during my drive home or if i had to do anything that involved movment, i started again. my last season was propably my worst yet. i havent had a ch for 5 yrs now and i smoke pot on a regular basis.

I was a 2 pack a day smoker and quit about 9 yrs ago, I had 2-3 more CH then was pain free for 8 yrs. Like a dum a++ I started smoking when I drank at parties maybe 2-3 times a month for the last year or so and they are BACK!!I admitt, I did have messed up sleep patterns when they came back, but I wish I had never smoked again. I have not had a cigg since a new years party and I have been miserable since Jan 7th when these started. I think they sure don't help.

I had a cycle when I did not smoke and have had cycles while smoking.
When this cycle started March '04 I was in the midst of trying to quit.
Guess what went out the window........
Now I have to try to quit since I have a kiddie on the way.
Eeeeeeeeek! When? Gotta be soon but when I do not know.
Good luck

But the blows they have just a little more
Space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.

When I was episodic, smoke was a trigger for me, but when I became chronic, it wasn't, and I started smoking again a little over a year ago. I've smoked on and off most of my life, mostly off.
Doesn't bother me now, or when I'm around others smoking.
When I get tired of it, I'll quit again.
