taking so long to thank you. We had a lot more activity this week than usual, and I just got around to opening it.
It was rather disgusting that the author thought M was the worst pain around. Evidently none of her sources mentioned CH. It was not really her fault - but those she interviewed should have mentioned CH.
But then it all goes back to economics. You noticed how they emphasized work hours and money lost because of M. I do not really believe only 1/2 of M are diagnosed. It just does not seem possible. It is a bad ailment and people do go to doctors. Everybody and her brother runs around complaining about their M headache even if they aren't that. Honestly, I do not think it is that difficult to diagnose.
You were great to contact the writer and ask for an article on CH. Maybe they will let her do it eventually.
Belated thanks - the article was interesting.
