Since I broke my lurker status on the Convention thread I might as well say Hi to the general community.
I've been lurking off and on for a couple of years near, ever since I was diagnosed with CH. I get 12 weekds of CH every 9 months. My last session ended January 1, 2005 was the first time I've ever lost awareness due to pain. Even though I was on Zomig, my wife found me curled in a corner screaming into a towel. She held me for 45 minutes while I fought it off, but I never even knew she was there until it broke.
But the most horrible experience I've ever had was being home alone with my 2-year-old daughter and getting hit with a 6-7 (rocking and moaning) while she patted my shoulder, shakily repeating, "It's okay Daddy. It's okay." and trying to kiss my head to "make ouchies go away".
Prior to finding a doctor I suffered with much milder cases for years thinking they were yearly sinus infections. Finally I paid attention to the pattern and got myself to a *real* doctor, a heachache specialist in Houston. He knew exactly what I had, and we've had pretty good luck finding abortives, even if preventatives seem to make me sick.
I think that about covers the basics... duration, frequency, intensity, and personal anecdote.
