I am working on my 02 stuff.
I have not received my pepper spray yet
i am taking feverfew, gaba, b12, magnesium, and using melatonin at night.

today i have a lingering shadow, about a 3-4.

when i drank a big thing of cold coffee, i think it got worse.

its almost like i want it to just get on with it- BUT I KNOW BETTER THAN THAT!!!!!

its' like i am sitting here with a demon circling me.

any suggestions?

Drinking or eating anything too cold will trigger a cluster for me during my cycles.  Was the cold coffee refrigerator cold?

yeah.. i felt that impending beast headed my way, so i hammered a cup, and then it turned worse, and now is juts sitting there... like flickin my temple over and over, verses stabbing the heck out of it.
i hate this

I don't usually have to deal with shadows, only full blown hits.
When I do get the occasional shadow, I do the ice bag thing directly on top of my head and it seems to help.
Give this a try and let me know if it helps.

I am a chronic suffer and do have to deal with the shaddows I find a combo of red bull and 02 can have very good effects on the shaddows too. I have been have nerve blocks each month for the last 4 months and that has also got rid of the shaddows for a couple of weeks at a time.

Good luck and hope you get pain free soon

I too am chronic and have to deal with shadows often.  Been dealing with the little B---itch today as a matter of fact.

Hot cup of Joe/java/coffee, 1 to drink and 2 hold the cup to my temple, and an extra Taurine capsule.  Shadow is just now starting to fade.

This is kind of gross, but I find that energy drinks are effective for ridding myself of the lengthy shadows that seem to follow every major hit I get.  The problem is that I can't drink them cold and carbonation is a trigger for me. 

Basically, I open the red bull and let it sit on the counter for a couple of hours until it is warm and flat.  Then I choke it down.  Totally gross, but does the trick.

Ken,

You might try the 5Hr Energy.  They are just a couple of ounces, have no carbonation, and don't taste nearly as nasty as the others.  I also find they don't tear up my stomach nearly as badly as do the others.

Flyinfree,

Sorry, but sometimes there is not a lot of activity here on the board.  Don't know why, but I understand and share your frustration of needing some support and there is no one home.  Sorry! [smiley=hug.gif] :)  Sometimes it seems teh shadows just want to linger and there is nothing you can do to get them to leave.  I understand fully your wishing it would just hit and be done.  Been there!  The anticipation is often worse than the hit itself.

Ken , it is so good for me, and so bad for you, that I finally found someone who can't have drinks that are cold!  Thanks for sharing.  I don't have the carbonation problem, but I do have a bunch of little weird triggers.  I posted them under "My Life With Clusters" (I think that was the name of it).   :D
