In Reply to: Help! Women Sufferers: Do You Know if Hormones Have an Effect?? posted by Chris on January 29, 1999 at 19:54:11:
Two years before I was diagnosed with CH, I had a bout with a horrible headache. I thought it was sinus or harmone. Finally the doctor ran a test and told me I was Post-menapausal (OLD) and put me on the estrogen patches. I immediately stopped hurting until two years later (almost to the day). That's when I got help and was diagnosed with CH. I've tried harmone replacement therapy since, but it had no effect on the CH. I think that's another theory that's up for grabs right now.
Truth be known, NOBODY knows what causes them damn things and until we get some research going we're never going to know. I'm writing everyone that I think MIGHT can help this research thing get going and I urge everyone else to do the same.
Until then, just enjoy the pain free times. BD
