For over 20 year`s now I have had CH. My question is do they ever completly leave for good?
My systems R; I go to sleep with it I wake up with it. Presure build`s behind my eye`s. Goes through the whole head. Down into my neck and shoulder`s and tightning of the jaw`s. I cant stand light,noise. Cant eat sleep. Cant enjoy my family{my husband and children] All becouse CH put`s me down into bed any where from 15-20 day`s out of the month.The pain is alway`s there it never leave`s. It might ease [sp?] up but never goes completly away.
O`I have seen doctor`s. You name them I`ve been to them. I have had so many test done I feel like a lab rat.I was diagnoised with CH over 20 year`s ago.
I just reasontaly found a doctor that is trying to help me with out pay. He has me on naproxen 500mg`s 3x aday verapamil 180mg`s once a day and evail 25 mg`s once a day. I still take 4 excerdin extra strength a day and 12 excerdin pm a night. I know all these med`s R not good for me. Put I figure it is better than putting a gun to my head. My children do need me [When I am able to help them} I hate the feeling of helplessness. I hate to set back and watch my family suffer for the pain I feel. So my question still is Does It Ever Go Away For Good?
This site has helped me understand what other`s and I go through. For this I will alway`s be gratefull.
Thank you Sincerly Linda
