Treatment for Cluster Headache

Caffeine acts as a non-selective adenosine receptor antagonist, blocking A1 and A2A receptors and inhibiting adenosine-mediated vasodilation. In cluster headache treatment, it can potentially constrict cerebral blood vessels and modulate neurotransmitter release, which may help reduce headache intensity and frequency by counteracting vasodilatory mechanisms associated with the condition.

Caffeine… even though I had a couple other reasons for giving it up. I also drink less and have had to accept a much slower pace of life and struggling to keep social connections just from constantly not feeling great.
