Does the KNOT in the back of the NECK TRIGGER..
Jul 25^th, 2011 at 8:00pm

I know about all the usual triggers, but wondered so many times (about an hr ago, matter of fact) if the 'ganglion' or 'knot' that is present during a cycle causes certain pressure on the blood vessel to trigger the headache (as when lying down)... I fell asleep for an hr or so lying down and woke to a 8-9... but it went away quicker than most... hmmm, just wondered your opinion...

It's been some time since we had a long thread on this subject. Several years ago it was a regular topic, for some reason.

Bu yes, a long tlme ago I could trigger an attack by sitting in a soft chair with pressure abou kidney level. Was interesting that if, at the first sign, I jumped up it would abort development. Sleeping on my ack evoked the same response.

My unscientific opinion. I don't believe it is a trigger. I am more apt to believe it is a symptom caused by the stress and anxiety these things bring on. Furthermore, having the "knot" very well may aggravate the CH (not trigger). Thus, a yucky cycle! Have someone work on that knot. Your head may get better. Just my 2 cents.
