...of the same bag of shit, I think, even though I'm not sure I can think. If CH is not vascular, why are they triggered by substances that act on blood vessels, like alcohol and nitrostat? If they are not vascular, why will an Imitrex injection abort every attack for me within 5 min. Why does oxygen abort almost all of my attacks within 10 min.? "Some" (a word used by journalists to obscure their sources) scientists (?) are now claiming that the pain is felt before dilation of vessels, a purely neurological phenomenon. Ho hum. Oh my god! What if "they" are right? I guess my Imitrex and oxygen will no longer work. If that happens, I'm not going to shoot myself. I'm going to shoot "some" scientists.
