My pain is only in the left side, and it always has been in this side.Yes, unfortunately I'm a smoker, but I must to tell you that when at last after 4 years! of false diagnostics, a doctor recognized ch in my pain, he suggested many medical tests: tomograffy, echos,encephalograms, etc, but the principal and more important proof ( or test I am not sure about the exact word),because it was the only whose result was positive was alergy tests and in these, nicotine got negative!.
Well, in the other hand, I'm a 52 years old woman
Before my ch I drank socially in a party, with my husband but not as alcoholic, When I knew and understand myself that drink accelerated the pain, I decided NOT DRINK ANY MORE. Last 31th I drink in the afternoon a very few lot of a sweet drink: vie cream and in 15 minutes the paint came. Notice that the paint always came when I'm sleeping but if I drink when I'm in crissis like now the paint don't wait for my "dreams", and the beast comes fast to my poor head and eye.
Matt, I hope that my large words can be of utility for your survey
final note: I'm cuban and live in Venezuela.
