My drug of choice, ALCOHOL, is completely out of the questions (any form) while in a Cluster cycle. For me, that's more depressing than the headaches initially. I've smoked a pack a day of cigs for 15 years. Can't tell one way or the other if it has anything to do with Clusters. But, I love to smoke, especially after an attack. Calms me down. The good news for me is that alcohol does NOT bring on a cluster CYCLE. Mine run every 23 months,,,,almost to the day. I still believe the cuase of clusters are a chemical deficiency. Once, your body runs out of a particular chemical that controls the vessels, you have a cycle. Then, it builds up again and you are cluster free until next time. Just my hypothesis. What do you think?
