Thank you! No headaches today! What a great birthday! And I used facebooks fundraising to raise $65 for cluster headaches research so far!

These were the few threads that I was speaking about in my first response to this thread. I honestly do not think that it is just COVID that can cause an onset of CH, but more so any illness that depletes your system. Both my husband and I had COVID a while back and it did not trigger a cycle for me. I am uncertain if that is due to the fact that I had been on the D3 regimen for quite some time prior to contracting it so maybe my levels did not get depleted as badly and I got through it in about five days. My husband was another story. He is not good about taking supplements (unless I serve them to him) and no he is not a cluster head but he was down for nearly 2-weeks with terrible headaches, fever and body aches. All this is just my opinion and we all know what that counts for

Searching the forums I found that a lot of people don't see a correlation between covid and clusters. The neurologist I saw recently said they've had a lot of patients come in after getting covid and complaining of severe migraine and cluster cycles. From my own experience, I also think covid caused my current cycle. I was clear for 5 years from what I believe was because of taking vit L. I got covid in Apr and since May have had the worst cycle to date. In previous cycles they would be clockwork and hit maybe once or twice a day. This time I had 3 weeks of attacks with up to 5-6 attacks a day. Since then I've felt shadow, ice pick, and general achiness in my head with no days of complete relief despite vit L doses every 5-7 days since May. It seems like everyones experience is different, but since covid does effect the brain via loss of taste and smell, I'm afraid it also my be triggering worse headache conditions for some people. Let me know how your cycle goes.
