Thanks for the lists!
I'm busy constructing the access-database (just a simple one) in which I want to keep records, I´m thinking about the best model now, the comments, critics and notes helped a lot to get me thinking about that, so I hope I won´t have to readjust it once it´s ready. When it´s ready adding the records should be a piece of cake and once I´m busy doing THAT it´s just a matter of "let it grow ......".
I love this database stuff ...  , I always figure, lots of info gives you even more info by looking at how much you got from a certain thing ....
perhaps I would need some extra details here and there, but will do that in PM-form.
Greetings,
Hannah

If I may ask juvy, did you ever try drinking icy cold water yourself? Jos´s headaches are relieved by cooling them to almost freezing with ice packs, and he´s relieved a LOT by drinking ice-water (not just a few sips, but at least a whole cup at once, if he can stand it ...). Ever tried? Just curious.

Do you find that the sooner you catch it the quicker you abort it? I do. I used to go outside and run, but now I have a routine I like even better. I go to the kitchen drink some cold water, go to the basement and do squats and rows until I'm out of breath. While I'm catching my breath I go to the kitchen and drink some cold water, then go to the basement do some squats and rows... I find it also keeps the level of the pain down.

Curtis,
I went with the squats. I figured the thighs were some of the biggest muscles in the body and working them would also direct blood away from the head.
I wake up with an attack starting, grab a tab of cafergot and immediately start doing squats. I do them till my thighs are buring and I'm really huffing and puffing. Then I sit down with an ice pack on the back of my neck and breath deeply. HA gone in 5-10 minutes.
Last cluster I found O2. Being old and lazy, I dropped the squats and just hit the O2. Worked just as well.
With the exercise I wonder if it's a release of endorphins, redirection of blood flow or raising the O2 in the blood from the deep breathing, or a combination of them all.

Other than the abortive meds, ie. (Imitrex & Amerge), ICE & RUNNING in place ease the pain. Nothing else works for me.

I forgot to add in my last post, fiorinal helped me also. I hear it doesn't work for most but it worked for me. It didn't wipe them out completely but it cut the intensity and the duration about 50%. Enough to make them tolerable. I had the fiorinal without codeine. Problem is, it can be habbit forming which is why I tried the "Cranial Sacral Massage". I didn't want to take the fiorinal for too long. Plus I only took about half of what I was prescribed.

Hey, I have not tried alot of things on your list, but here's what I have tried over 22 years that had some impact.
Melatonin: actually had a negative reaction to 1.2 mg per day....made headaches worse, but think this may have been due to having high levels of iron at the time (but didn't know it), which impacts melatonin levels.
Magnesium: 500mg supplement did seem to help with daytime headaches
Vitamin C: I have noticed that certain juices with this vitamin can make headaches worse, such as orange juice.
Compression of carotid artery: I can sometimes prevent a full-blown headache by compressing the artery on the side where I have the headache just below my jaw. However, my neuro does not really like me doing this....I guess she's afraid that I am cutting off blood to my brain! However, this also can make the headaches worse if I wait too late to do this!
Fish oils: I take these daily all the time for dry eyes and do not notice any impact on headaches at all
Tea: Drinking tea actually helps me more than coffee, but usually have one cup of coffee in a.m. and 2 cups of tea during the afternoon. This routine does seem to keep me from having afternoon headaches or assures that they are not severe.
Aged cheeses: Overly cheesy foods can be a trigger, especially those with cheddar cheese.
Alcohol: Cannot have ANY alcoholic beverage during an episode...not beer, not anything. A definite trigger. But, not drinking it will not prevent clusters.
Second-hand smoke: Being around either heavy cigarette smoke or fireplace smoke can trigger a headache.
