I (male, 43)was just diagnosed with CPH a few weeks ago. It took forever (nine months) to get a doctor to listen to me and understand my symptoms. I had one neurologist tell me I had a pulled muscle in my neck; stress headaches; and anxiety attacks.
Jeff Hilburn, MD (Head of Neurology at St. Vincents Hospital in Indianapolis, IN) communicated with me for 45 minutes and quickly narrowed my condition down to CPH. His bedside manner was phenominal!
Although curing CPH is not going to be an easy task, he seems determined to do whatever is required. That in itself makes me feel better.
I'm still trying to get a medication that will work. The antiinflammatories reduce the discomfort, but I still have as many as 7 attacks a day, every day.
