....a coupla clusterheads keepin' an eye on things....

100% agreed here after decades of forum monitoring - between the two of us @jon019 we probably have going on 50 years of forum monitoring action.

Thanks Jon019! Whenever I have mentioned hormonal fluctuations triggering CH I have generally been looked at like I was psycho. Guess I shouldn’t have believed the lit saying CH was mostly men, but I do think there is a tendency for some reason to put women under the “migraine” umbrella. Probably because most people don’t understand that CH is not the same. Also, fluctuation of barometric pressure does a number on me too We are on to something here

....monitoring these forums over the decades leads me to believe that the ratio of male/female in the "beast war" is prit' near 50:50. older lit and uninformed medicos still cling to the fallacy that it's a "guy thing"....which only increase the burden on female clusterheads. perhaps the guys are just more vocal AND/or one must realize the lit is (or was) written by men. the old saying that if men had to give birth there would be a whole lot more attn given to birth control is absolutely true.....IOW, males tend to look at things as it effects men. newer lit is much less, if at all, definitive re gender affliction levels. see men and migraine for a similar mis-belief the other direction..... ....my further belief, also developed by watching these forums and personal experience, is that significant fluctuations in hormonal levels, regardless of gender...are an effector of CH. see pregnancy, see high stress/de-stress situations, see D3 regimen (D is a hormone folks). i've always wondered if barometric levels follow a similar pattern. high or low never bothered me.....rapid fluctuations (e.g. weather fronts) dramatically significant. it also may be that levels outside "normal" is equally significant for some clusterheads.... ...pls pardon the small thread hi-jack....i think it wise to monitor how hormones affect any aspect of your health...considering your levels and how much, if any, to adjust ....an excellent idea!.... best jonathan

Hey Shaun. Try purchasing ginger capsules. I have a really good organic brand that I get at a store here in the states. I usually take 2 capsules a day. I’m also on the d3 regimen all year around. I would look into that ASAP
