Both my husband and I feel that my chs (as well as my migraines) are at least an indirect result of some hormonal "imbalance". My chs started immediately after going through minor surgery--a
laporoscapy. The dr. was looking for a tumor in my uterus. No tumor was found, but a case of endometriosis was. The chs lasted for about 3 weeks to a month. We attributed it to the surgery. However, when I got them a year and a half later, I went to the neuro and was quickly diagnosed with ch. In the monitoring of both my chs and my migraines, they always come right at the beginning of my menstrual cycle. The chs, during my last bout this Spring, became more severe during my period. Yes, this is sensitive information to post. But, I figured if I could tell Drummer this while visiting him, I could tell you (and anyone else reading). It's all just a "biological function".
