Seems fairly odd to me that a reactive center of your brain does anything other than react, Maybe to outside stimulus or something?

You're muttering to yourself.

Well no wonder...you have faulty logic, and any reasonable person would certainly find you belligerent.

The fact that you have confused regulatory and reactionary in regard to the function of the hypothalamus is but one of your down falls.

Edit to add:  Additional definitions to illustrate.

Ok..yes I'm done. 

One cause (sperm cell enters egg), one diagnosis: pregnant.

Four different methodologies.

There's your flaw.

OK.  I am sad because I was going to ask for the HIPPA release so I could talk to his doctor. 

There goes my fun.

He is entirely qualified to make the diagnosis and refer a patient to a neurolgist. Who, I might add have been doing a bangup job of solving the mystery.

This is getting too ridiculous for words.  Can we all just stop posting to this inane-ness?  He seems to have to have the last word..lets let him.  And move on to more intelligent discussions.

I agree 100%. All I stated in my first post was that I had found something that worked for me to relieve my headaches. I even referenced events in detail that led me to that observation. All for the sole purpose of inquiring whether or not anyone else that had also been diagnosed with CH had observed anything similar.
Not exactly sinister in my opinion.
If you read the post without reading the factual events that led to that statement available via the link and formed an opinion about me because of me that’s not my problem.
What is curious to me is the ire that I have sparked. Why is it so important to you to set me straight?
I had a physical event that led to the reduction of my headaches by 95% and getting better every day. That would imply that in my case, although diagnosed with CH based on my symptoms, mine wasn’t neurological.
I thought that it would inhumane not to offer that on the outside chance that someone would recognize anything in the chain of events that I described and at least go eliminate that POSSIBILTY.
Damn me for that. I can’t believe I had the nerve to be so bold to post fact.

Since that time, with a few exceptions, I’ve been hammered by an elitist bunch of patients trying to set me straight.

Until someone asks the question
“Is it “POSSIBLE” that the noted deviations in the Hypothalamus of chronic CH patients are acquired? Is it possible that they are merely a byproduct of years of the higher brain associating incredible internal pain with normally busy but quiet part of the brain that controls mood, anger, and violence while in not only a hypersensitive state but also exhausted? Could this patterned ABNORMAL association POSSIBLY cause this portion of the brain to be so incredibly over stimulated hit after hit, night after night, year after year that it might actually be mutated due to heat or electrical impulses?
Someone ought to ask that question.

To many folks relief, this will be my final post.
As moderators it should concern you that a member would make a comment like angela40 did:

Jeff,
I am new to this board and avoid posting much (I'm sure you can figure out why).

Hope everyone has a great life including the antagonistic. Mine is much more pleasant these days without ever stepping foot into a neurologist’s office.

Potter: Thanks for what you gave back then x 2. You gave more than I’ve probably got. Hope like hell something over there didn’t cause what led you to this board. You have my utmost respect. Thank you.

Later

And all God's children said Amen.
