I definitely have experienced a good number on that list and agree that when in season and susceptible, they can al work as triggers, though I mostly now after 17 years just get regular ones (At the moment 8pm every other night) without the extra triggered ones.

Kia ora, I'm a long term sufferer and have had cluster headaches for about 17 years now. In the last couple of years the gaps between seasons has lengthened, the intensity has partly decreased (Still insufferable) and the epicentre has moved from behind my right eye to a point on top of the skull (though my eye still hurts and closes and is sensitive to light). I read that typically sufferers have the headaches for about 20 years and I wondered what the signs of them receding were and if that is what is happening to me. I thought they had gone entirely but more than a year after the last season they have returned. When I first had them the seasons were far more frequent. I'm also interested in your remedies / coping mechanisms. I havenever tried any medication and my doctors have never been any help. The only thing that helps sooth them for me is a very hot shower with the water on the affected points with massage (Temples, skull, eye socket etc.). Has anyone else found this helpful? Any thoughts welcome.
