Hey kopikat,

Welcome to the club no one wants to be a member of.....sorry you had the need to find us though!!!

Any brand energy drink that contains at least 1000mg Taurine will work......most folks report best results when "slammed" at the onset of a hit, and then hit the O2.

Hey kopikat,

Welcome! Might I recommend a better energy drink than redbull. The Monster and Rock Star coffee flavored one go down a LOT faster and taste a lot better as well. I always have at least one in the fridge ready to go.

Hey guys'

Thanks for your reply's .I will be stocking up.

Haven't had a cycle in a couple of years ,

But it,s getting close to my time of the year,

Felt a couple of twinges in the last week .

Do you guy get the feeling they are on there way

a week or two before they strike?

many thanks,

Kopikat (Eamon).

Hey Eamon,

From what I've seen people report, results with energy drinks appear to vary just as much as other treatments for CH.

Some people really can abort an attack with one. Energy drinks don't work THAT well for me personally, but I have been able to quash some mild to moderate shadows with one.

Also, there's the potentially very valuable advantage of an energy drink helping the O2 to work better as DD mentioned, plus encouraging reports that it can  help prevent rebounds after such an abort.  8-)

Red Bull tastes fine to me, and although I didn't have any of the little concentrated shots handy during my last episode, that sounds like a good way to get one down in one quick gulp. 

This would be the optimum time for busting - before your episode goes full blown - BTW, if you're considering that route.

I do. I get neck stiffness starting a few weeks before CH begins.
