Many clusterheads have a sensitivity to heat and doing anything to raise a sweat can be a trigger.

Also, the scientific research has often said that some quirk in how we move electrolytes seems to be a big part of the disease - possible our genes for dealing with sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and chloride are not perfect, and/or we overload a system through lifestyle factors.

I am a big fan of magnesium supplements, and I try to keep well hydrated, especially if I think I am going into cycle. Orange juice and bananas are good sources of potassium, and I try to consume these regularly, and melon in season.

Hey,

I find doin almost anything that raises my temperature can be a trigger, even just walking to or from work (20 min walk) or even a few times sex!

And no matter how much water i drink i find i can still over heat quite easily, i feel its more to do with my breathing.

When this happens i take immediate action, i rub ice cold water all over my body and try and sit in a breeze to cool off quick or when not at home i go to the toilet and sit on the seat lid (usually cold) or take my top off and press my back against a cold wall there is always one in a toilet somewhere, or basically anything that that will send shivers up my back. i have had some funny looks but i find it really helps. Sometimes the cold causes an amplification of the pain if im really suffering but i stick with it because it definately helps the attack end sooner.

Its frustratingly drawn out but when i excercise i do it 5 min on 5 min off.......

Wishing you PF excercise
