 Although I’ve been suffering CH for 10 years I considered I was fortunate – thinking about the chronics – because I was episodic.
Today my doctor told me that I am chronic.
He checked my last year of CH, he was sure that I became chronic, but he didn’t want to tell this to me because he hoped to be wrong... it is not so!
This means that I’ll get many bumps and I’ll make the subscription to the ER...... ;D  !
Sorry, Zaira

sorry to hear that zaira... still it is just an etiket. According to some definitions I am episodic, according to others I am also chronic, cause even uot of cycle i would get HA within every two weeks. Since 8 years I have had my cycle change many times back and forth, never longer than two weeks though, these last two weeks are the first! I suspect there even might be a cycle in a cycle, so you do have chance that this will only be temporary. Whatever it is, we are here for you!

I’d like to believe you, I hope that the doctors are wrong, but in the last year the beast was with me constantly, I’ve never had episodic clusters. in spring and autumn I was always bad... Doc. Bussone  (one of the most important doctors in Italy studying CH, as Doc. Leone) told me last year that I was becoming chronic, yesterday he confirmed it, and if he thinks it... it is bad for me!!
Anyway..... Love you all and Thank you, Zaira

Take it from a chronic...it's just a label! Your pain/frequency will not change one bit JUST because a doc has changed your "label". Hang in there! It sucks, I know (still untreated here). I have hope though, and I will continue to do so.

Very sorry Zaira.
This damn thing truly is a horror. It takes no prisoners but hopefully, neither will you.
Rant away, it's what we're for.

Zaira,
Stay strong! You have dealt with it this long and the label doesn't make it any worse. It just takes away the hope of the cycle ending, but at the same time, since becoming chronic March a year ago, I don't have to dread the beginning of a new cycle, or wonder ifit is going to hit out of sequence. In a lot of ways it has been easier for me to deal with once I accepted it. You will be in our prayers.

Zaira.....just stay hard girl. Don't let any label change your state of mind. I have personally decided I'm not chronic....I'm episocic with really, really, really, really long cycles. ;D
Hang tough girl....and kick some ass!

Dear zaira.
If this helps ( and I hope it does)
My story!
My Episodic times...PAIN
I turned chronic......PAIN UNDER CONTROL
I have times when it flares up, even when I am chronic.
But with the help of my doctor and some angels here on the board. I have suffered less pain in the whole picture since I have been chronic than I did when I was episodic.
When I was episodic...I always seemed to be playing the catch up game to the pain. Now I am chronic...I know what I have to do everyday...and what I need.
I was like you when I turned "chronic" It was an awful diagnosis......
YOU WILL BE OK.....Just stay one step ahead of the beast at all times and always have your amunition (sp) and beat the bastard everyday........you will become aware and know what your body needs and when! Love Jayne
FIGHT FIGHT!!!! PREPARE PREPARE!!!! MEDS MEDS!!!!!ABORTIVES ABORTIVES!!!!!!!! IT WILL BECAOME A WAY OF LIFE!

Zazi,
As I sat reading your posts and started getting hit I think I may join you in a year. I am 4 months into a cycle and I never get hit everyday. This mornings hit was from sleeping more that 6 hours. I am thankful that I get that much but over sleeping scares me. I am able to abort everyone so far and I am not complaining. Actually I was hoping this cycle would end so I can get my memory back for three months LOL I hope this makes sense

My best advice is tell the docs what u need because most of them don't know. I am from Rochester, home of mayo clinic, and have see some of the best doctors in the special pain and headache clinic. I walked across the street to another clinic building and they don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
