Ibuprofen a Trigger???

Hello All,

 

long time "watcher from the shadows" (I could not possibly lurk!).

 

I just wanted to ask if anyone has found ibuprofen or any other nsaids to be a trigger. I am trying to identify if I have a specific trigger (not found one yet after a dozen chronic years!) and the only consistent suspect is ibuprofen. This is not conclusive, but as a 3-5 per day CCH I sometimes struggle to see the correlations!

I've had other headaches trigger CH, caffeine headache has kicked a cluster off a few times.

I guess medication overuse headache may also have the same effect.
