Thanks Rob. I agree with most of it, but not totally. The part about CH rate rising in women I think is right. We're seeing more and more women on this board, but the smoking and drinking, we pretty well ruled out. It can go either way.
That's the prob. Everyone seems to have different triggers as well as fixes for the pain. O2 is about the only universal (even Imitrex doesn't help us all).
WE NEED A LOT MORE RESEARCH. Write, call or go see Drs., govt. (Congress, etc), Drug companies, and anyone who MIGHT can help us. If we make enough noise, maybe we'll get something done just to shut us up!
