Based on my past record, I probably should start every posting with "I think, therefore I am wrong," but to me, the one-sidedness of the effects has to be an important factor in tracing the series of chemical events precipitating an attack. As I have posted before, I opine that some deviant factor in the CH brain sends false alarms of a deprivation of oxygen on one side of the brain or the other, resulting in slower heart beat, increased blood pressure, vaso-dilation, stretched nerves...VAVOOM!...CH!!!!!!! But then, I have to remember my own caveat: I think, therefore...
Hmmmmm. Perhaps I should change it to "I think, therefore I get CH." :-)
Thanks for your enlightened observations. Even though I don't fully understand all the medical lingo and implications, I enjoy the discussion.
