Hello all, this is my first time posting here, and I'd first like to say how wonderful it is to have found a place where people understand.
Now then, about switching sides - I first started with the CH's in January of '87, and I believe that very first headache was on my right side (I am right-handed BTW), but, although they usually come on my right side, in the early days they would often come on diferent sides and even both sides at once. I read somewhere that this could mean that there are two simultaneous bouts as opposed to the same bout on each side.
In the winter of 95/96, I had a bout that lasted for 5 months, it started on the right side, stopped for two weeks, and then returned on the left side for about two months. Again, this may have been two seperate bouts, very close together, but the point is that the CH can come on either side. Maybe it is that I occassionally suffer from multiple bouts. Any ideas anyone?
Cheers
