And there I was thinking that this was a community of sane folks... What kind of name are you crazy pair trying to give us? 
Welcome Trinity. Always good to have more folks from this side of the pond.
I drink energy drinks and find them good just for shadows (those twinges just before a hit). What I've also found is that alcohol and painkillers - paracetamol, aspirin etc make things oh so worse for me! I've given them all up (crap when I twisted my ankle and couldn't take anything for it!) but I'd rather that pain that any more ch.
Between energy drinks, o2 and my melatonin fix I'm currently keeping the beast away. Hip hip hooray!
Hoping you find your magic combo soon.
Em

Dont want crusts anyway my hairs curly enough!!! 
Hi Emily, thanks for the welcome, i stopped drinking alcohol within a few months of being diagnosed, not that i drank alot anyway, but noticed if i did have even a glass i could trigger them so as soon as i realised i stopped.
Still debating about energy drinks and the caffeine in them keeps me up all night!!
Hoping the 02 works and so far so good
PFD to you all

The caffeine used to really affect me too, but your body will get used to it. I still don't have one if it's after 5pm. I stick to ice packs and o2.
Good luck with the o2. Let us know how you get on!

I really don't know WHAT your problem is Simon 
While you're up you could get on with 1001 DIY jobs AND have the energy to do them.. there is simply NO pleasing some folks is there Em?!
And he's an "ooop Norf" so no one would think he was sane anyhow
seriously though, I can have a asda's own red bull thing at 2am now and go to sleep - you really do get used to it!

I have some nights where I wake up with a headache and I drink a Red Bull, sometimes twice a night and it has helped so far. I am usually back in bed within ten minutes. It's amazing. All those years I didn't know. Go figure. But I am thankful I came back here and found out about it. I wake up alot at night anyway, so drinking a Red Bull (Slamming the Bull) doesn't seem to bother my sleep too much. And I am sure the Melatonin helps also. What a combo.
