Hoppy CH.com Alumnus Offline LAUGHTER IS THE BEST MEDICINE Posts: 1890 Perth WA Gender:	Water and CH's. Oct 10^th, 2013 at 6:53am Hi All, Just a thought. I'ts been known that drinking lots of water during the day, and before going to bed, can help to control CH's. . Good Luck, Hoppy.

Reply #2 - Oct 10^th, 2013 at 9:24am I could probably drink more water during the day, but I personally haven't noticed a difference between days when I drink 6 glasses or days when I drink a lot more than that. I haven't had nocturnal headaches in over a year thanks to melatonin though

Great to hear it's keeping the night time beasty under wraps for ya. Joe

just at 15mg too. I've gone to 20mg for a couple weeks but I've been steady at 15mg and I haven't had an actual headache at night sense last october.
I've had some pretty awful shadows, but no actual headaches, thanks for the tip

Reply #8 - Oct 11^th, 2013 at 9:47am I have actually aborted some CH by holding ice cold water in my mouth, swallowing and then doing it again and again. Other times...no help at all. I think it's the same as breathing in ice cold air in winter through my mouth..sometimes it works, sometimes not.
