Title: My local ER actually gave me....

a printout about CH instead of migraines ... it's pretty lame but the fact that it said cluster headaches was pretty amazing to me!

Attacks may be triggered by:

Lame ER doctors who give me narcotics and tell me to get a ride home from a responsible adult.

WTF?? ?? ?? ??

They may be triggered by SMOKING or CAFFEINE ??

Those two are life rafts!! And caffeine is more of an abortive, than a trigger ...

But, at least it is a start ...

Now what self respecting Hospital is gonna tell anyone...

"Hey...did you know nicotine is a vasoconstrictor and railroading a smoke during a hit just might bring your pain down a knotch or two?"

There go all the anti-smoking campaigns across the nation. Don't even get me started on THAT topic!

Herring! There ya are Svenn :o

Caffeine? One of the few things different when my hits began to dwindle and disappear was my drinking gallons of coffee so strong that I needed a fork.

I'm glad that CH is acknowledged by somebody, hower.

I agree that the printout has some stupid points to it...

BUT the point is they actually acknowledge Ch seperately from Migraine.

Esp for little ol' New Hampshire!

All these years and at least they ACKNOWLEDGE there is such a thing as CH. It's a beginning.... baby steps.. but a beginning.
