To confuse the picture still more: things that are triggers to many, are not only non-triggers for others but seem actively to help getting through an attack!
Caffeine is one of those, strenuous excercise another. Alcohol, a guaranteed trigger for the majority, works preventively for a small minority. Bettr not try it out, though!
You'll find out what your triggers are. Having a pain free period has everything to do with the episodic charachter of your clusters, and not much with avoiding anything that''s nice (like cheese).
Hope I didn't confuse you to much,
