I had a CH in prison once!
I do some volunteeer work with a group of inmates several times a year. On one occassion the inmates were having a speech contest, and I was one of the judges. The room was warm and stuffy (a big trigger for me).
In the middle of one of the speeches, I started feeling the pressure and thobbing. I wasn't even about to try to get my syringes of Imitrex into the prison, so they were sitting in the car. I was terrified.
By the time the next speech started, it was a full blown CH. I had to get up and have one of the guards escort me out.
I can't even begin to imagine what it is like to be an inmate going through a CH.
