But what is known, is that smoking during a cycle will make a CH more intense. Hoppy. You can put me down as it was no question a trigger. Since I quit. I have less CH.

Hi Chad,
I tend to think, on this one, again we are all different. I've
been a smoker since i was 14, my CH's started when i was
27. So i can't blame smoking. And, when in a cycle, smoking
was never a trigger for me. I tried a stopping once, for a
couple of weeks during a cycle, did'nt make any difference.

Cheers, Hoppy.

I hear you brother, like you said everybody is different. My other trigger alcohol got the best of me last night. Had 1 glass of wine last night and shortly after, BAM! The O2 has been less helpful this cycle, but it works usually on the second try.

When the PAIN starts, I FIGHT back!

Reply #28 - Jan 11^th, 2014 at 5:32pm I think the majority of us clusterheads are in the same boat, myself included, when it comes down to alcohol being a major trigger in CH's. But, for me it's only a trigger when i'm in a cycle. Hoppy.

Hoppy.

Likewise. Out of cycle, I'm in the clear for cocktails and anything else that triggers this demon.

Reply #32 - Jan 28^th, 2014 at 6:40am If smoking is preventing or helping you cluster headaches in anyway, you could switch to glycerin E-cigs to get nicotine to help your headaches. or if you still like herb, get a desktop vaporizer. Your lower risk of cancers and other serious health problems will thank you and so will the healthcare system.
