Hi, I just found this site. After a 3 year absence my
headaches have returned. My last 2 episodes I experienced new symptoms. Vomitting (oh, joy) and a tingling sensation in my arms and hands that would last all day. My arms also felt heavy, typing at the computer was like lifting something after working out for too long. Here are my questions: Do you get more symptoms as you get older? Secondly, as you get older do the headaches become less frequent and less severe?
I am 37 and had my first CH at 17. In my twentys they
would come every year (late summer or fall), a CH everyday at the same time and last 6 weeks. In my early 30's they came every 18 months with the last being in the spring of '98. So, I just had a 3 year CH free period. Anyone out there in their 40's or 50's that can shed a little light on this? Thanks.
