My first 2 episodes with CH's did not involve much pain. They thought I must have a tumor, and scared the hell out of me with MRI's, CATs, x-rays, etc... This was in February and July of last year. I then had a very typical and painful bout in Nov. - Dec.. This year I've had alot of horrible nights beginning in late April through last night. Fortunately, it has now been properly diagnosed and I am blessed with the fact that pure
oxygen works virtually every time. Sometimes it takes many tries in a night to control it. But again, I started February '97 with the constricted pupil and curiously had severe fatigue for 2 weeks, a week of light sensitivity and facial tingling, along with pain in my upper back. I don't know how much was related.
