Hello everybody, After lurking for sometime now, I guess it's time for me to come out and introduce myself to my newly extended family. My name is Lisa and I am a newly diagnosed CH sufferer (even tho my neuro didn't think it was possible based on the single fact that I am female and that females don't get CH's). I am 37, married 14 years to an Army medic, who has watched me suffer thru these HA's and feels totally helpless and devistated that he cannot do anything to ease the pain and two kids who are, without a doubt, totally addicted to Pokemon. :) Like so many others before me, I had no idea these CH's even existed until it happened to me... I feel blessed and cursed at the same time...blessed because I was lucky enough to find this web site and find such wonderful, charming, witty and humble people who know and understand the torture CH's put us and our family/friends thru. The cursed part in having CH is that there isn't any one remedy that works for ALL of us, and my eyes well up when I read the messages from those of you who have been unable to find anything that works. My one and only wish is that all of us have a PFD&N... :)
