There is no point in me looking at a computer screen, TV, or IPAD when I am suffering an attack simply because all my focus needs to go into managing the pain.

So I cant answer your question. In fact the question confuses me because I don't understand how, or why,  anyone under attack could or would be using electronic devices in the first place.

I may not have asked this question right. I am totally new to this. There is ABSOLUTELY no way I could even think to look at anything when I am in my peak of the CH. What I was trying to say is I guess during the cycle? I have anywhere from 3-6 CH's a day for multiple days at a time.

During these days, I usually wake up w/ a 6-7 pain rating that can easily jump to a 10 if there is sound & light or too much stimulation for that matter. If I get on the o2 right away I can usually maintain them for a bit ( couple hours or so ) during that time, in between them, I have found it almost unbearable to look at any type of electronics for more than a couple minutes before it aggravates me & puts me back into a full blown attack again.

So, my question is "does this or anything similiar to this happen to anyone else who suffers CH's"?

Since mine have been diagnosed as chronic, there is no way of telling when they will hit and how long they will be in remission. So I don't know if electronics can contribute to them as a trigger or if they just aggravate them.
