Time to re-name CH?

I've taken this from another thread and I'm quoting it entirely out of context -  
 
Quote:
All in all, the whole experience (and it sucks big time) is so outlandish and bizarre, so unlike anything an average person can compare it to, that the word "headache" doesn't really describe it at all.

 
So, how do we re-badge this beast?

I like Mike D's term : A neuro-vascular disorder causing severe pain around one eye.  
That is what I say when I talk about it.
 
Its not a very catchy name, but I really dont like the work 'headache' when it comes to CH.

Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half the population is stupider than that.

It is a type of trigeminal neuralgia, and that sounds pretty scientific.

I tell people I was born with a deformed hypothalamus and it causes the worst pain known to humans.
 
That usually does the trick!
 
If not and they claim some knowldge or insight I tell 'em it is a hereditary Trigeminal Autonomic Cephalalgia.
 
That REALLY shuts them up!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I still think that some variation on "suicide headache" would be helpful.

I just usually say I’m F**d in the head, they look at me and shake their head.
Ignorance is bliss when dealing with Di** H**d’s.
 
But I agree the word Headache just does not fit when it comes to our condition/conditions; I pluralise this as some of us suffer with other related pain.
Along with CH I have exploding head syndrome & restless leg syndrome; the RLS is easily explained but try the same with CH & EHS & you may as well go looking for the Shit Creek Paddle store.

Hey Jonny! That looks like an almost sufficiently gruesome portrayal of Brian's description of being hit!!
 
Do copyright conditions apply or can anyone wear it as a (prominently displayed, of course!) tattoo? That way, you wouldn't have to call it anything. Just point to it!!!

Leave the name as is...
 
The need is to educate people.  The more you change the name the more confusion to the common person.  
 
Ch ISCH.  
 
CH should not be confused with CF!  You can be CFed with out being a Cher, however, if you are a Cher, you are most definatly CFed!
 
Now, where the heck is Drummer to add to this thought?
