I, like others, am greatly aided by ice when I feel a CH coming on. I recently purchased an item called a "Cool Thing." Basically, you soak it in water for 10-20 minutes and it stays cool for quite a long time. I have even taken it on the golf course where it sits in the sun for hours and have been able to use it on the course -yes, it's still cool. I have also heard about "Migraine Ice" but haven't tried that yet. The other nice thing about the "Cool Thing" is that it is a one-time purchase, it is constantly reusable. Also, it doesn't really feel wet so it is easily transportable. Another bonus is that it is big enough to hold against your temple and neck/shoulder at the same time.
I believe I purchased mine at Target, could possibly have been Wal-Mart, and I think they keep them in the sporting goods sections.
Hope this helps some of you. - Merri
