I'm new here....again.

I found this site back in 2003 towards the end of my episode and posted a few times. I apologize for not hanging around when my episode ended but it is so easy to completely dismiss CH from my thoughts when they are in remission. Well now I am back and so are the CH. Started the last day of Nov. I just thought I should re-introduce myself since I only posted about 6 or 7 times before, so here I am. I am 35 and have had CH since my early 20's didn't get diagnosed with them until I saw a 3 sentance description on them at the bottom of some pamphlet and took it to my doctor and showed him back in 2001. I use the imitrex nasal and it seems to be working for me so far. Usually ends the attack in 5 to 10 mins and if I take it soon enough when one starts it won't get a chance to peak. Doctor has been more receptive to treating this than in the past. He offered to give a prescrip for the injections if I wanted that instead. Seems he has been doing some reading on CH. Well I guess that about sums it up. Thanks for listening/reading! 
Just wanted to add that I also get those stabbing or icepick zaps that last a couple of seconds on the same side that I suffer the CH on.

If he's open minded, ask him about oxygen. Print out the info on the left and show it to him. It has less side effects then imitrex and a heck of a lot less expensive. Hope you find relief soon.
