New here and thoughts on Hydration
Dec 30^th, 2014 at 9:52am

Hi I'm new to the forum and while not a sufferer of CH. I have had from time to time a headache that was so painful all I could do was try and distract myself. So I feel I kind of know what it must be like .... and I deeply feel for sufferers. SO I am here in attempts to add my mind power to the collective to help find solutions....

What triggered my last headache I think was lack of proper hydration.

I had two coffees ( with no water - usually I drink water ), also smoked some green. I drove 4-5 hours with no water to offset the caffine.... I came home and while I did juice I also had Tea ( more caffine and diuretic ).

I find the green does have a dehydrating effect + coffee ( which obviously does) + tea.

Let me tell you this. since that headache a few days ago. I have never touched the green and maybe never will again. Headaches are no joke. I love it, I really do and its really been beneficial to my life in terms of dealing with emotional and spiritual issues.

But perhaps its time to move on.

Best wishes.

I live in a tropical paradise where dehydration is a constant risk and it's never been a trigger for me, as such, but I know things will be much worse if I don't seriously keep up my fluid intake.

Heaps of fruit, leafy salads, steamed veges, sorbets, frappe and waterfalls.

It's no cure but there's a lot to be said for water, water, water.

Except in America.
