I have to say that Greg vomits continuously during the peek of his cycle and it is not unusual for him to throwup between 12 - 20 times during an attack, especailly if it is one of the long ones. But I do agree Bob that he needs to be seen by a doc that knows CH and be checked to make sure there nothing else wrong.
As to the computer stuff, give it up guys. I have the same thing with Greg. HATES, ABSOLUTELY HATES the computer. He cannot type and is certain that whomever set up the keyboard was completely mentally deficient cuz it's not in order of the alphabet. lol He does not like it and in spite of the wonderful help here your not likely to convice the man to get on it. He may sit and read something but if Bob's father is anything like Greg he will read and pay much more heed to something he can take to the "throne" to read and digest.
Those of us that live on these things cannot comprehend this attitude but we need to make things as easy on Bob as possible to help his Dad and family. That is not going to make it easier for him to have Bob badgering him to sit in front of a computer if he is not so inclind. I am not saying what your telling Bob is wrong, just knowing what my husband is like I know it would only agravate him more. I tried, with all my might to get him on here when I first found this site two years ago, but it was only something that frusterated him more, and as CHer I am sure you can apprieciate the fact that the LAST thing you need during a cycle is aggrevation.
So lets try and figure this out with Bob. He's the one reaching out on behalf of his Dad and speaking from experience I know the battle he is facing with the computer thing.
Finally Bob, I know that with my husband he too threw up his imetrex pills. We switched to the injections. He needs to have a good doc that will make sure he is in good physical health other than the CH though. There are tips here for using partial injections. There are those here that know about the inhaler imetrex, I don't. But just hang in there and keep us informed.
