There is one study that linked head injuries to CH. It found that a very high percentage of people with CH also had experienced a blow to the head that had knocked them unconscious. The problem is that the average time between the blow to the head and the CH was 13 years - kind of hard to prove cause and effect.
On top of that, it seems that the vast majority of people have experienced just such a blow to the head, yet CH only effects 1% of the population. The researcher would have done a better job of linking the ability to walk with CH's.
Don't you love "research".
And I agree with Lee - get to a neurologist. The nutritionist may help you eat better, but probably won't help the CH's.
Enjoy the free time
