I am one who almost never drinks water. I grew up with my Dad who had two slogans for water:
"Seeing as the human body is 2/3 water, drinking water equates to canabalism" and
"If God intended man to drink water he would hav made the oceans out of beer"
Obvously all in jest, but the point is, we never drank much water.
About my third week into my first CH series, I started craving water - so I began drinking water. I especially drank about a quart or more the few hours before going to bed (fortunately I have a strong bladder). The headaches SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED in intensity. Now 5 weeks after my first CH, they are gone.
As for drugs, the only drugs I am on is 80mg of Verapamil - and I stopped those 5 days ago.
Sounds simplistic I agree, but keep in mind that during a cycle, alcohol can bring on a CH and alcohol is a serious diuretic
I'm a big fan of water these days!
Enjoy
