Robert,
UNhappy to 'welcome' you to the group.
Some of the things you mentioned in your posts (hot water, neck pressing) that basically 'pass the time' but don't make you feel better is "The Dance". We all have versions of our own, that we perform almost like a religion or a superstition. I seem to fall into the same routine during every CH attack (whether it helps or not). Whenever something seems to help (even slightly), it becomes part of my dance with the beast. (My dance has more moves than Fred Astaire and MC Hammer combined!)
Get yourself a appointment with a good neurologist, bookmark this site on your browser, checkout the great links from here, search the archives, and join the discussions.
I am a "newbie" here also. I have been able to call my affiction by name since my first episode 10 years ago, but until I found this site just a few days ago I didn't "know" my attacker.
Knowledge is the best weapon...
