Hi, Margi. I'm not a medical doctor, much less possess a doctoral degree to be called a "doctor". However, I don't believe anybody in the medical community would doubt existence of CH. I've been in a different field, so I wouldn't know for sure, but it's been well documented that CH is a result of hypothalamic and autonomic nervous system dysfuctions. As far as I know, no one knows what causes physical dysfuctions of our bodies. Let's hope it would be discovered SOON...It's really discouraging to read articles that say "CH cannot be cured".
Glad water therapy works for your hubby. As Greg wrote below, it's certainly wise to consult a physician first before changing our diet drastically. I wish I could take LOTS of water! I have a history of kidney dysfunction, and I'm also concerned about "thinning" medications in my system.
Your husband is blessed....some of us female sufferers get frustrated with our husbands' reaction to our "hell time" with CH. Hugs to both of you!
