Title: At what age did the beast first strike?
Post by Prense on Aug 1^st, 2003, 11:44am

For me it was 21, I am chronic, never been episodic and not diagnosed until age 27. I was about three years heavy into the alcohol scene and but not alcoholic and I have never done any form of drugs that were not taken exactly as prescribed. I had been smoking for about 1 year at the time. If this was covered before, lemme know.

Thanks,
Chris

You know what...I looked there and totally missed the part where it said at what age did they START...the bad part about that is I TOOK THAT SURVEY!!! Well, that was like six months ago. :P

Thanks Bob for keeping me in line

No prob. I forget about it too, then I remeber that we have the biggest CH database in the world right under that button.

It's one of the main things we have to offer the researchers. They want info, here it is.

The beast first reared it's butt ugly head when I was 28.
I'm 46 now and the damn thing has pretty much been a regular visitor every fall/winter since.

Hmmm is there a good place to look for mining some demographics? Like age etc.

Someone has probably mentioned it and I missed it as usuall.

Post by simplevox on Aug 4^th, 2003, 4:07pm

I started with what I think were migraines around age 19 or 20. I was only getting a few a year. The clusters started at age 22, but I was only diagnosed 2 years ago. I am episodic and I'm now 30 yrs old.

It is amazing how long we have all been suffering... some much longer than others. Very depressing... DAMN! THIS SUX!
