Do any of you think it is possible that CH can, in a few cases, be so complicated by ADDITIONAL
headache causes that all the pain seems to merge into one giant, never-ending torture?
Could it be that after an hour or two (or more) a CH attack might subside for a while, but the allergy or m...... or another type of headache might continue so that the sufferer never gets total relief and thus interprets the whole episode as one continuous CH attack with variations or shadows? I'm not suggesting this is the case with most CH sufferers, maybe just a sub-group.
After all, a head is still a head with a limited area where pain is felt. Maybe the uproar of CH leaves a soreness or agitation that intensifies other intruding headaches like the m...., those caused by very severe allergies, the more common "tight band" tension headaches, or even the "blinding, across the forehead" type. This is just a question. What do you think?
