Yes, although IT eases off a bit, she describes it as constant...at it's low, she says its like a "dull thud" but she still feels it behind her right eye, but she can function--go to the store, carry on a conversation....but when it is at it's peak, she (sitting in a dark room) just cries and bangs her head. I am afraid during this time because she will take the medicines closer together - just to try to get relief. And she says she doesn't care how much she takes - she just wants the pain to stop.
She's also tried a Chiropractor and then acupunture - she said she will try anything!!
I don't know a lot about CH yet - but I can't help but think that there's some-THING that causes this pain, pinched nerve, a chemical imbalance in the system, I don't know!!
It is such a helpless feeling - I truely feel for those who suffer so badly!!
Thanks, Kat
