Title: Right, Left or Switcheroo?
Post by Kris_in_SJ on Jul 28^th, 2005, 8:39pm

Hi All,

A new poll ... Do your clusters hit the left side, the right side, or sometimes pull the old "switcheroo?"

As for me ... always the left side. Never had a twinge on the right.

I didn't ask for smarty-pants answers, Jonny. (modified from "smart-assed answers")

I'm curious about the more "normal" people on the the board.

Left side, left handed. (I think the left hemisphere felt neglected.)

Dear Kris and Everyone,

-Right handed here ...

Always a right side CH'er... however... after being an exclusively right sider for over 11 yrs, 2 months into the last cycle, it switched to the left, overnight, for the remainder (~2 more months). The next cycle (many many years later, Jan this year) -it's back to normal (right) for the whole deal (~2.5 months).

Except, 1.5 weeks ago, one minor, --and apparently, hopefully rogue hit on the wrong side, after being out of cycle for 4 months.

But, it seems that my CH experience is somewhat unusual... if there such a thing as usual CH, here's my info anyway... for what it's worth. I can make no sense of this CHit.

At the convention, Dr. Rosen mentioned "ping pong cluster HAs." At least, such a thing is a medically recognized phenomenon, at least by some docs who know CH.

CH on the wrong side... it's just wrong.
my best to everyone,
Debbie

P. S. I do have pix to post from Dallas, soon... it was such an amazing experience... and wonderful to meet everyone that I did --but that's another thread. :)

edited to add... CH sux on both sides and the docs know about ping pong ch.

Love that term, "ping pong"! Describes it exactly.

I've always called them wild-cats and they're absolute hell to deal with. I'd prefer a regular K10 twice daily than have to go through that yet again.
