Hi I'm new to the forum and while not a sufferer of CH. I have had from time to time a headache that was so painful all I could do was try and distract myself. So I feel I kind of know what it must be like .... and I deeply feel for sufferers. SO I am here in attempts to add my mind power to the collective to help find solutions....

What triggered my last headache I think was lack of proper hydration.

I had two coffees ( with no water - usually I drink water ), also smoked some green. I drove 4-5 hours with no water to offset the caffine.... I came home and while I did juice I also had Tea ( more caffine and diuretic ).

I find the green does have a dehydrating effect + coffee ( which obviously does) + tea.

Let me tell you this. since that headache a few days ago. I have never touched the green and maybe never will again. Headaches are no joke. I love it, I really do and its really been beneficial to my life in terms of dealing with emotional and spiritual issues.

But perhaps its time to move on.

Best wishes.

I feel I kind of know what it must be like ....


No, you don't.

Hydration has nothing to do with it.

Maybe part of your suffering if a bad attitude towards others?

And if you know so much why are you suffering? You so sure its not about hydration?

  You should have just moved on.

Being dehydrated has nothing to do with CH's, but its
known by drinking lots of water during the day and
before going to bed when in a cycle helps in some folk.

I've had plenty of dehydration headaches and they are maybe 1/4 the pain of a ch.  No comparison.

Water, water, water!

seems you just registered yesterday and already have 2 pretty stupid posts. Urine Therapy and now this one.......

Are you actually here to contribute?

as for urine therapy well, that sounds like something hoppy  would post.and as for smoking the green ? what the hell does that mean?giving Hulk a bj gave him a headache?

Lack of water AKA dehydration has triggered attacks for me several times, especially in conjunction with excessive heat (110+F).

Take a look at the "water x 3" tab on the left side of your computer screen for an interesting article about using water as an abortive "treatment."

I live in a tropical paradise where dehydration is a constant risk and it's never been a trigger for me, as such, but I know things will be much worse if I don't seriously keep up my fluid intake.

Heaps of fruit, leafy salads, steamed veges, sorbets, frappe and waterfalls.

It's no cure but there's a lot to be said for water, water, water.

And in a place like Cairns, with good company, nothing beats a cold one or three.

Too right, Mike, but there are International laws, treaties and protocols which specifically forbid using the words [beer] and [water] in the same sentence.

Except in America.
