Meet the King of Freakish CCH symptoms

Chronic CH 2.5 years, ECH prior 2 years.
Haven't watched a full movie (from start to finish) in 2 years. Ditto for television show >1hour. After about 45 minutes of boob tube staring an attack will always occur. Sometimes a break at the 30 minute mark (hit the pause button) will provide some relief but generally if I'm watching I'm a sitting duck.
Haven't had a 'same time' attack in better than a year. It'll strike any old time one day, go away for a day, then chronic shadows all day another.
Usually hit THE VERY SECOND a photon enters my iris upon opening my eyes in the morning. Rapid onset precludes making coffee to drink so it's a roll-over Imitrex sniff, writhing for 20 minutes on the bed, exhaustion, back to sleep===you know the drill.
No hot tubs for me and the little lady either. That vaso-expansion thing is just too much. Sometimes I can dip in my big toe for 5 minutes. Yahoo.
No alcohol---usually even swig will bring on awful shadows.
I'm feeling like a complete freak. Guess I just can't play in all the reindeer games.
Oh, and the Diamond headache clinic wants $3,000.00 US per day. Are they on dope?

I'm on a train, but there's no one at the helm.
And there's a demon in my brain starts to overwhelm. And there it goes, my last chance for peace. I lay me down, but get no release...
