Title: How could I have missed this?
Post by Melissa on May 16^th, 2006, 11:49am

Total Members: 10144

I have been keeping my eye on the numbers to see when it'd hit 10000. Now it's at 10144?? When did this happen?

It is wonderful people are finding us, but at the same time it's very sad. :'(

I wonder how "they" arrived at the % of population supposidly suffering with CH? Just might be way off and we are a bigger group than thought.

This site sure has a far reaching territory.

Depends if the counter is reset when someone deletes themselves..

By my reckoning there should only be about 433 members if we discount all the names CHTom has had ::)

I guess you could call that a gross oversight Mel. ;)

Maybe one day, Dr.s will know about ch and won't consider it rare, and might even admit that women have it.

As long as I remember, I have known people with migraines. And it took me 40 some years to bump into a person with clusters (he sits 3 cubicles over). So I think it might be rare. But if the rate is one per thousand, that is 300,000 people in the US, over million in the western world.

Not sure about women getting clusters, either. ;)

If we are counting non-CH years, it took me 37 years to find all of you on this site.

Another two years later I met my first CH'er in person, Man, did she look hot in that mini skirt, the embrace at the airport lasted 15 minutes :'(

She wouldnt let go......LOL ;;D
