Title: I met a doc with CH
Post by rickyshot on Mar 23^rd, 2006, 9:13am

Wow this was the first time I ever met another person in person with CH. It was my new endo who I saw yesterday. In the course of explaining my problems with thyroid , I told her that my TSH shoots up when I have a crisis with something called cluster headaches. Not only did she know about them but is a sufferer as well. How cool was that. We had a small chat off topic about CH. She is episodic. I am gonna send her info on this site. :D

Very cool! :)

Last year, I went to a doctor specializing in sleep disorders. I was telling him about my CH, and he told me that he was also a CH'er. Knew all about O2 and all kinds of other things related to clusters. It was pretty awesome. :)

Any chance you could lovingly encourage her to join the site and post? Another doctor on the site who is a sufferer and a contributor, life on the board just keeps getting better!!!

I do hope that we'd get those docs to join ch.com, too. :)

I haven't bet, yet, other ch'ers. I bet it was fantastic! :)

Best wishes & PFdays,
Sanna

Yeah I am gonna send her a letter of thanks plus shamelessly hit her up for some cash for my cancer walk this summer and I will definitely put in the letter ch.com don't worry. I hope she visits. But she seems so normal and all the people I meet virtually with ch (myself included) are so nutz..... ;;D I hope she can take this family hehe. She seems to have it together and is episodic. My doc says I am a rough case with CH and the worst migraneur he has ever seen. I am honored ::)

Nothing like meeting another Ch'er...that fact that she's a doctor is a bonus... :)

If I were a Doc with CH posting here I would want to be treated as a fellow CHer who just happens to be a Doc.

While in the hospital last week I met a cardiologist who had an outstanding understanding of cluster headache's I was impressed as well as wy wife.

When I checked into the hospital. They Denied several meds I had been taking, The Main one Verapamil. 2 x 240mg. He said keep taking it, that's not your problem, keep taking meds you need to take unlill were done.

We will get you fixed up in a week or two.

That meant a pacemaker.

Pulse 32-48 :o

Some Chewy guy may call me a fraud. I would love to come and shove the medical records up his ass. Short of the homeless shelter.
