Is it an airplane ride that starts setting off the attacks, or just travel in general? Are your headache issues generally well controlled, or satisfactorily controlled, when you are not traveling? Do you mind saying what meds you are using (in part, I'm curious about what works for both CH and HC, or whether you have to somehow treat each one separately)? Vitamin D regimen comes to mind as something that might help. D3 regimen - ClusterBuster Files - ClusterBusters

Not sure what a "Normal" life is anymore. My new normal is to deal with things one day at a time and adjust. I know I am going to get beat down with a massive cluster at any time of any day so I am always ready to fight back with whatever I can. I keep oxygen in the car at all times, I have it in my office at work keep a triptan injection near by as much as I can and a 5hr energy drink in my pocket. I can no longer drink alcohol so my new norm in a social aspect is water and coffee. I am not shy or hiding my clusters so when someone who does not know what I deal with and comments about not drinking or avoiding some sort of smell I tell them how it is. I can no longer burn a candle, my wife can no longer ware perfumes and depending on how my clusters are on any given day I need to avoid other scented things like cooking dinner. This is my normal life, not great but it is what I have so I embrace it and know things could always be worse. The new normal and I still love it.
