I have had CH's for almost thirty years. I like most of you long term suffers, have tried "all" the drugs, with mixed results. I had been headache free for almost two years until two weeks ago when they just came back full force. My cronic CH cycle stopped the day my now ex-wife left me with two kids, yes that very night. Today, I'm starting my quest for common links between us suffers, again. Please help in building my data base of information. If you would take a minute please look over these questions and let me know your situation. Thanks in advance.
Do you smoke? yes no
Can you smoke when you have a CH? yes no
Do you smoke right after an attack? yes no
If you have you stopped smoking, did it help? yes no
Do you drink coffee? yes no
2 4 6 8 10+ cups per day?
In the: morning daytime evening all day?
Have you stopped? did it help? yes no
Has a cronic cycle ever begun or ended with a "major" emotional event in your life? yes no
Please e-mail me, your answers. I will post the results here in about a month. If this works..... more questions/results will be forthcomming in the future.
