Is there a distinct difference between the two? I have just started my journey to doctor's with what I thought were migraines, but after reading the ch description, I'm not sure anymore. I can't remember how many times I've described my pain as the "red hot knitting needle being poked in and out of my right eye." So many of the ch symptoms seem to be right on, but I can't relate to the cycles at all. Then I read about the sleep apnea and I know that my dad has severe sleep apnea. I believe I may have slight apnea, because I know there have been times when I have "awoken" myself, snortling and gasping for air. (Well, maybe it was the lasagna and the wild dream, but..).
Thanks for all the information. Doctors seem to be as clueless as I am.
