 There are a few clues, however, the full mechanism remains unknown. Recent findings point to an enlarged hypothalymus being somehow involved in the mechanism. A study of CH sufferers using positron emission topography has shown activation in the hypothalamus solely in the pain state but not when they were out of the bout. Just about everything that is currently known can be gleaned from the archives of this site and in the OUCH website.
 Sorry to hear that you are back in cycle. Good luck with the Botox.

I'm sorry the Beast is back.  

This is the first year I've had CH's.  I'm still learning, but printing out the medical info to read when I have PF times has worked well.  Read everything you can - all those buttons on the left.  Don't forget the OUCH site!

Check the past few pages for the Oxygen info web site.

Drink lots of water!    

Good luck with the Botox treatment.  

Wishing you PFDAN's
Kate

Sorry they returned. Give your MDs a chance. I don't know anything about Botox other than I haven't seen much or any significant follow ups here. They seem to me to disappear. I hope it’s because it’s so successful.  

Good luck in any event and let us know.

Charlie
