Years and years I went putting up with these things (I'm 44 and first
got them 20 years ago) and putting up with all the ignorance out there.
Doctors that didn't know or didn't care. Bugger me these things hurt, but,
not as much to me as it seems to hit some of you. Maybe I have a very
high pain threshold, I don't know. Anyways, up till 10 years ago I used
to get CH every year in Jan and June. Significance of this is that these
were very LOW stress periods directly after very HIGH stress periods.
Since I have eliminated the stress period in June, those CH have gone away.
I am now down to Jan, and as I am getting older, only every two years. I
saw a neurologist who seemed to know what he was talking about and he
believed my stress "theory". Anybody out there with a thought to add? I don't
want to here about symptoms, I want to here about what causes the symptoms.
In my life I can tag CH to a stress change from high to low.
Talk to me fellow "head bangers".
