Hey everyone. I have been a ch sufferer for more than 10 years now. I am currently at my peak in this cycle. I started out going to doctors and finally to a neurologist. He put me on lithium and cardizem and cig patch. The combination sent me to the er. I didnt go back for years. When I did he said that he knew what I had but did not know how to treat them. So I have been going with no treatment. I am excited to know from from reading your post that some are having success with some meds and i am tempted to give it another shot. I just have one question? How does anyone hold down a job with this condition. I refuse to call it a headache because its more like a monster. I had to take a leave from my job because of them. I wish I could get my family to read this site to help them understand more what this is. I tried the water treatment the other day and didnt work maybe i did it wrong. Ill try it again.God bless you all for this site because I thought i was alone.Maybe tonight I will get a break.
