Title: Chronical or not
Post by Stampertje on Aug 13^th, 2002, 6:49am

Hello everybody,

Let me introduce myself. I'm 23 years old and live in Delft (The Netherlands). I've been diagnosed with CH about 5 years ago. In the beginning there were periods, but since a year I can't find them anymore. They don't come every day, but there are at least 3 attacks a week. Sometimes they skip 1 week and then the hope comes that I will have some peace and quiet. NOT!!! The week after that my living nightmare returns into my life.
Some weeks the attacks are heavier and more frequent. Then there are a few nights with about 5 attacks and almost every day 1 attack. Fortunately those nights only occur once or twice week.

Can someone tell my if this somekind of transfer to cronical CH? Even my specialist doesn't know why they come so scattered.

Wishing everybody lots of painfree days and nights,

Rik

Welcome to the board! Sorry that the beast has lost the ability to tell time, and now proceeds to blast away at your cranium with a phaser set to boil at irregular times. Welcome to the family!
