Hello all. I have spend a lifetime dealing with these things. I am 100% sure what begins a cluster period for me is one of 2 things. I am 99.7% certain of one of the items; less sure about the other. I am happy to discuss with anyone how I deduced what it is. What steps I go through to make sure I steer clear of the ingredients that begin a cluster-period. If I make a mistake and begin getting them, I have additional tricks to get clusters to stop without using any meds. I had to do all of this because 15 years ago, most every med I took stopped working because I had taken all of them (every possible tryptan, amitriptyline, calcium channel blockers, etc etc).

I figured I would keep this intro basic and if anyone wants to ask questions I will happily answer and provide links and details of what has worked for me. I realize we are all different people so different things are going to work for all of us. But I am very happy to be part of a community where I can share how I've dealt with this pain.

I'd also like to clarify my willingness to try and get involved with some kind of research. I say that here because I am essentially frustrated and annoyed with trying to be part of some kind of "study" that I always see advertised. Most of the "migraine research studies" I see advertised are nothing more than pharmaceutical companies soliciting participants to try a new medication for people to waste their hard-earned $$$ on. To me the pharmaceuticals are bullshit. So if anyone knows any one that studies the physiology of Homo-sapiens, more specifically the cardio-vascular system or central nervous system - I would gladly like to have discussions regarding the biology of what is actually happening.

Again, I'm glad to have found this group. Hope I can be of help down the road. Thank You and feel free to message me or ask me here anything regarding my history, progress, or discoveries with cluster headaches.
