To me all triggers are weird, this whole cluster headache thing is weird.
Ever since my ch started over 5 years ago it has always been about never getting any rest, never getting any sleep, and never getting any piece of mind. I’m a chronic ch’er, so my experimentation has never been about ending a cycle, only about avoiding the beast.
Laying in bed with my head in an elevated position watching TV is how it all begin. At the end of the day time to chill think about my life and what to do tomorrow. Before I fall asleep my brain catches on fire. No doubt to follow, more hits in the night.
Napping, no way, you think the beast would let me chill out in the middle of the afternoon. Bad move.
Sit on the couch with a friend eat popcorn and watch a movie, no can do.
I work outside in Texas on the gulf coast it’s HOT the summertime, and for me miserable. Numerous times I have been in the middle of a 100 degree plus afternoon sweating my ass off wishing I had learned internet technology instead of the construction business. Suddenly on the horizon, I see a thunderstorm making it’s way in my direction. Ah.... the sun goes behind the clouds, cool air starts to blow in, Instant relief from the heat. That’s all the f#%$er needs, and left side of my head begins to fry before I can enjoy the fresh cool air.
I race my motorcycle for a hobby, nothing like the ride home with your buddies after a day of racing. It’s a tradition with us, relax, enjoy and share the excitement of the day. No way Jose’ It’s time for a cluster attack from hell, with a 4 hour ride home in the truck, the sun going down in my eyes and no where to hide.
I’ve read this entire thread it seems to me most of the triggers you see have something to do with relaxing. The post started with popcorn, well Libowski where are you eating popcorn? For me it’s usually found in a bowl on the couch in front of the TV trying to relax. Good cheese and beer trying to relax, on an aircraft trying to relax for a long journey. Chocolate has got to be one of the most relaxing foods there are. Some people even eat their meals in a relaxing environment with wine, candles, soft music ect. Perhaps it’s not what we’re eating that’s the trigger. For me, I don’t drink much but when I do It’s more than likely at some big event, lots of people around, activity, dancing, talking, music, girls, never sitting still. If I were to just start drinking beer at home sitting on the couch , I would certainly be in for a bad round with the beast.
In my uneducated but experienced opinion, this thing is about my brain changing gears, slowing down for me, cruising mode. Maybe for others it could be when your brain speeds up, I don’t know. We are the only ones that can put our finger on the problem. I think the answer to this question is in this thread and on this board.
WHAT ARE THE COMMON DENOMINATORS?

I'm pretty sure Bob G's signature goes something like
"Never relax. Ever."
