Hey All
A freind of mine told me he saw a Time magazine with an article about CH in it at the Dr.'s office.
Has anybody seen this article? If so what month was it?
I would like to find it and read it.
PFD&N to all!!!!

My Dr. has this article up on his wall, and they give out photocopies of the article. It was from last year sometime; I'll find out when I go back for my next appointment. If I remember correctly, there wasn't a lot about ch, but it was mentioned.

The article don mentioned is at
http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101021007/
The article is about migraines and only a little of the article mentioned clusters:
Not so the mercifully uncommon cluster headache, so named because an attack typically repeats itself, often daily, with each episode lasting anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. Cluster headaches usually strike their victims, generally men, at fixed times of the year. The pain is so searing that they are also known as suicide headaches. Immediate treatment with oxygen and migraine drugs given intravenously can sometimes provide relief.
During the course of a migraine, scientists discovered, the trigeminal nerve practically floods the brain with pain signals. The more researchers learn about the trigeminal nerve, the more they believe that it is involved in all types of primary headaches, including tension and cluster headaches. The differences in the headache types seem to stem from what activates the trigeminal nerve and how it responds.

My friend brought me this article (knowing I was a sufferer)...it wasn't great, but I did think that it stating "Cluster Headaches, sometimes known as Suicide Headaches" was particularly apt. It didn't say alot about Ch but at least what it did say at least had some gravity. Are they ever going to give this condition a 'serious sounding' name??
