I've had these stinking CH's for 15 years now. I'm
lucky in that I went about 2 years now headache free.
But alas! The past month, I've had one or more CH's
per night! I take oxygen, but for the past few days,
I don't have the will (or should I say courage?) to
go to sleep. Its 1:00AM and I'm exhausted.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the
feelings of euphoria once the headache subsides. I
don't know if the cause of this is physical or
psycological. All I know is that it is an intense
feeling of well-being and peace. I suppose in
comparison to the agony, feeling normal might feel
euphoric...but I'm wondering if the brain doesn't
send out a massive amount of endomorphins or something.
Oh well....back to hell.
