Title: My first CH
Post by dentedgirl on Sep 24^th, 2002, 10:09am

Hello people.
I remember my first CH like it was yesterday. I fell asleep over at my sisters on the couch one night. I had this dream where several guys had hold of me and had me face down on the ground, yelling at me to eat some pill. I remember knowing that if I ate the pill, I would get a headache. I was screaming and fighting and subsequently woke up with a headache. I remember sticking my head under the kitchen faucet and crying, scaring my sister and her boyfriend, who I had woke up.
Only lasted about an hour, but It was the mark of what was to be a long and confusing, not to mention, painfull road.

I look back alot of times and try to remember if I had some sort of head trauma around that time. A fight, a good bump to the head, a fall, anything. I can't remember anything that could have contributed to the start of my trips to the butcher shop.

Something else, I can remember certian headaches, but not alot of them. I.E., I lived out in the country for 1 year and can't remember having a headache out there. I know I did, but can't remember what room I would go to or what my wife was doing, or anything else for that matter. My wife thinks it's like the childbirth syndrome. It hurts when it happens, but over time you forget how bad it really hurts. I don't know. There are some that stick in my mind because of the severity, location or stupid things like the time I was blowing my nose so hard there was blood all over my kitchen table and all over me and my wife came in and called an ambulance. She thought I had some sort of hemmorage I guess.

I can't forget how bad they hurt. I am reminded too often. It's not something I enjoy talking about. When I first saw these posts I thought " these people just feel sorry for themsleves, blah blah". I don't think that's the case. I try to forget about them when they are not around. I can try, but it's still in the back of my mind. Maybe talking about them and talking to other people who know what time it is can be positive. Sorry for the long post.
Mike

Hey, talk any time you want bro .... if it helps we're glad. I must have the child-birth syndrome thing too, cause I really can't exactly remember my first one and it wasn't that long ago .... but I remember the one (it had probably been going on every night for a week when I finally lost it) where I finally took my head and was hitting it on my new kitchen counter, trying to get a doctor on call to call me back, with my sister-in-law looking at me like I lost my marbles !!!!! LOL - I now say a nightly prayer to the guy that invented Imitrex. He's on my prayer list as well as all you guys !!!!!!!!
