Alcohol
Feb 28^th, 2014 at 12:24pm

Hi,

Alcohol is a major trigger for me. But I hate having to avoid it for the total duration of a cycle, kinda ruins your social life.

Does anyone have a particular alcoholic drink that they can drink without triggering an attack? I know beer, wine and vodka definitely do with me, but thought maybe if I tried something else I would get away with it. He'll of a risk I know because we all know the severity of the pain.

What a weird monster we deal with.

Posts: 3785 Auckland, New Zealand Gender:	Re: Alcohol Reply #5 - Feb 28^th, 2014 at 11:48pm I'm one of the lucky ones for whom alcohol doesn't trigger a CH. But if it did I'd just skip it until a cycle was over as there is no way I'd want a CH just to have a drink.
