Title: Update on CH clinic.....
Post by TerryS on Oct 5^th, 2002, 2:41am

Friday made my 3rd trip to Syracuse, NY to VA Medical Center. I drove the 1 1/2 hour drive with the beast singing some kind of Heavy Metal Band going off in my head. By the time I got to the VA Hospital my head switched bands I think it might have been Rock and roll. The Dr. took one look at me and asked if my left eye always waters when I get a CH and I told him it did and he said and you sound all stuffed up and I told him that also happens when I get a CH. And he said Oh! Oh OK! Well I guess this Dr. has just witnessed his first CH patient. After the Dr. examined me the band in my head switched tunes I think it was now playing country, which was a good sign that it was going to go away soon.

The Civamide or Placebo which ever they give me did nothing for my ch the whole week seven days for my ch. I am off the nasal spray but still have to keep records of every ch I get for this month and take it all back up to VA medical Center Oct.31. Maybe this time I will wear a mask so I don't scare him next time I see him with CH !! ;D

God bless you all,

TerryS
