I've had bouts where you're right, you can't stand up, you can't do anything. I've also had bouts like today, where it feels like someone is drilling into your eye and it hurts like hell, but you can still function.
I happen to have a high pain tolerance to certain types of pain. There are days when attacks are bad, but not debilitating. I wouldn't describe these attacks as any different from the exteme ones other than intensity. The condition itself is the same.
There have to be CH sufferers who never hit a 10 on the scale, it's just likely that people who only hit a 6-7 during a bad attack don't come to sites such as this.
Remember, it those who are in the extreme who would seek out such a site.
