elliott - The big question is of course - why then aren't all male clusterheads also blind?

Guys I am almost 100% sure that this is the cause.

To aid in a experiment, I just tried to achieve the fully erect state of happiness and take measurements.  To get this, pulled up a favorite video.  As soon as I got my numbers, I blue balled myself (a total of maybe 30 seconds to do all of this).  As soon as I tricked my brain like that, bam, shadow.

This is the answer guys.  Want to rid yourself of CH?  Stop tuggin, especially to porn.

And there are a good many more reports to be had.....

Abstract
BACKGROUND: Thunderclap headache (or sudden severe headache) is an uncommon type of headache. Recognition and accurate diagnosis of this headache are important, because there is often a serious underlying brain disorder.

SUMMARY: In this article, causes and management of thunderclap headache are discussed. In the primary care setting, there is a serious cause in one third of patients, but in the hospital setting, up to two thirds of patients have a serious underlying brain disorder. Clues in history and physical examination can point to a possible serious underlying cause of thunderclap headache, such as subarachnoid hemorrhage, intracranial hematoma, or cerebral venous thrombosis. The remaining patients with thunderclap headache, however, have a primary headache disorder, such as migraine or (less frequently) tension headache with an unusual sudden onset, exertional headache, coital headache, cough headache, or CLUSTER HEADACHE. The concept of thunderclap headache as a distinct clinical entity is discussed, with implications for its evaluation. Present radiological techniques are reviewed with regard to their diagnostic utility in detecting a serious brain disorder.

CONCLUSIONS: Thunderclap headache is an uncommon type of headache, and a serious underlying cause should be excluded.

Abstract
Headache caused by sexual activity, or coital headache, is included in International headache classification (1988). The paper presents 19 cases (15 males, 4 females, mean age 34 years) examined by the authors. In 58% of the cases, headache developed before orgasm, in 26%--during orgasm and in 16%--after it. Duration of severe headache was from several to 15 min and of moderate one--up to 7 h. In total, disease lasted from 1 week to 8 years. Focal neurological symptoms were

Abstract
BACKGROUND: The pathophysiology of the explosive type of headache associated with sexual activity is not completely understood. Five reported cases of patients with thunderclap headache, precipitated by sexual activity, in association with concomitant cerebral arterial narrowing, were found in the literature.

Abstract
Benign coital headache is known as a rare type of primary headache related to sexual activity. The pathogenesis of this type of headache remains unknown. Clinical manifestation is typical and connected with three phases of sexual activity. Coital cephalalgia is divided into two subtypes: preorgasmic and orgasmic headache. Some authors specifie the third type--postural type. Preorgasmic headache starts as a dull bilateral ache and increases with sexual excitement. Orgasmic headache has sudden, intense character and occurs at orgasm. Postural headache has been reported to develop after coitus. The author describes four cases of different types of sexual headache, which were effectively treated. Indomethacin was effective in all patients as direct treatment and propranolol was effective in patients to whom it was administrated as preventive treatment.

Abstract
We present a 44-year-old woman who was admitted to our hospital after three episodes of coital headache. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and angiography (MRA) revealed no vascular abnormality. She was discharged with a diagnosis of primary headache associated with sexual activity (PHSA). Although she abstained from sexual activity after discharge, she experienced recurrent headaches several times a day, whenever there was a change in her emotional state. This case implies that emotional changes can trigger headache attacks during headache-prone state in PHSA.

I don't understand why you're being so hostile, potter.  There's simply no other purpose for this thread other than to help others. 

Gravity existed long before Newton discovered it

Anyway

UPDATE:  Since last night little "experiment" I've had 2 CH shadows.  One that I posted about last night, and one this morning.  I think I may have had 2 this morning, as I remember injecting myself several times and refilling my cartridges twice...

Started to get another shadow about an hour ago, so in order to abort it without reaching my Imitrex-24 hour limit, I took a hot shower.  It aborted it for the duration of the shower and came back as soon as I got out.  SO I went to DD and got an XLarge Dunkaccino with a turbo shot of espresso.  Last time I checked this was roughly 200mg of caffeine plus whatever is in the turbo shot.  It's workin pretty well.

Definitely will attribute this influx of attacks to the "test" I ran last night.  Dopamine is released during the "search" for porn and satiating the need of watching the video whereas it is theorized that opiates are what are released during orgasm.

I understood it, that's why I asked why you were being hostile.

Well I apologize, inflection is lost on the Internet

If you keep injecting yourself with imitrex, you have anything but a controlled experiment going on, Mr. PhD of Googling Shit.

Also, we're talking about Imitrex.  Abortives have no effect on preventing CH, that's what....preventatives are for.

Feel free to stop posting then?  Idk what to tell you.


Zeitgeist-
Lol

Lance-
That's interesting, Ill have to do a search for that topic.  I'm in the same boat as you though, the idea of doin the deed during an attack is ridiculous to me.  The last thing I would think to do is go look at porn.
