Hi Ric,
The reason WHY the dramamine works (at least it did for my husband when he was in his cycle last winter) is that it doesn't allow you to get into the REM phase of sleep, yet it does produce sleep as a side effect. REM seems to be where the Beast can find you. Taking 3 Gravol (Canada's Dramamine equivalent) before bed, gave Mike the much needed rest at a time when his cycle was peaking. It does nothing to attack CH pain, but hopefully it will give you a few hours break.
Best of luck and let us know if it works.
