Head colds and CH.

[John]

I have noticed, on more than one cycle, that if I catch a cold, I get relief from my cycle. This is only temporary, as I still get hits through early winter, and then once the weather starts to warm in early spring. Surely, I can't be the only one. My cycle started 2 weeks ago-2 weeks after a minor head cold and bronchitis. I caught the cold back from my wife on Monday, and have had no hits since. Not even a minor shadow. Sinus HA, yes, but no CH.

I did take a treximet last Thursday, but I had shadows most of last weekend.

As for cold medicine, I have taken Advil cold and sinus, claritin, and generic mucinex.

But I started thinking, and I can not remember a time that I had a cold AND CH at the same time-and I don't always take these meds.  :-?

my daughter also typically gets relief from ch when she has any kind of cold/virusy thing.  there was a thread about that some time back, with some people saying yes and some people saying no to having experienced that kind of connection.

My longest period with no CH was the two weeks when I was in the hospital with a very severe infection. I cannot believe that this is a coincidence...

i have always found simillar when sick. but with just a

cold i can get hit harder. if not in a cycle it will increase from

minor to major hits daily. if in cycle it seems to cause the

cluster to remain at a high kip for extended periods.

like all day sometimes.
