Welcome home. My hubby has been a CHer for 20+ years and I've been supporting him through the attacks for 13 of those years. If you or your wife ever need a shoulder, please feel free to e-mail me directly. I know what you're going through. Mike feels tremendous guilt when he's in a cycle and I wish he wouldn't. It helps us supporters to help you CHers. Makes us feel like we are doing something. Don't try and hide your pain from your wife - if she is anything like me, she needs to feel a part of this. You need to work together to find relief.
For us, the Water Treatment Therapy has worked wonders - it doesn't work for everyone though. Mike has tried a rainbow of meds to no avail. Water, ice bags, oxygen, Dramamine to sleep through the CH, and staying calm are how we control it.
You hang in there and please let us know how we can help.
