I wonder if DocGreg or someone with a better understanding of medical issues might comment on this. Seems to me that Hemicrania means 1/2 head or one side. Chronic we all understand. 5/day is definitely not outside the 'normal' range for CH,and our survey shows at least twice the percentage of female sufferers as commonly believed. Bottom line--is "CPH" merely a diagnosis invented by some doc who figured that since 'women don't get clusters' he/she had to call it something else?
