Interesting Statistic. [I thought]

An article on headache that I read in a magazine called" Hospital Physician-Neurology Board Review" was titled[of course] "Migrane And Related Syndromes"
Part of the article focused on CH. The doctor who wrote the article stated [briefly] how unbareable the pain is and how it does not recieve nearly as much attention in the medical community as Multiple Sclerosis does, even though just as many people suffer from each in this country. He showed identical numbers.
Could that be possible? I have known a couple people who had M.S. I Never met anyone with this.

I had always been under the impression that Ch's are rare. In 20 years of suffering, I have only meet one person who is also a sufferer. I personally know 3 MS patients closely.

I dont believe it. I know three people with MS, and have never met another clusterhead.

It's true. MS gets a lot more press, and generally, it's easier to diagnose. Think of how many of us spent years being misdiagnosed. Dr Andrew Sewell, formerly of Harvard McLean, and currently collecting data for a potenial study on LSA and kudzu's efficacy for CH, told us that at the OUCH convention in July. That may be his article. He is currently working independently and being funded by MAPS. Harvard McLean is still handling the pending psilocybin and CH study.

With all due respect to Dr Sewell nani, I do believe it was Goadsby et al who first mentioned similar prevalence levels (based on UK stats though):
Quote:
However, the latest figures quoted by the IoN for CH is between 0.2%-0.4% for CH. I don't believe MS has increased so significantly in such a short space of time

I don't know who said it first, Lee... I just said that Andrew told us in his presentation.  
I also thought that the article mentioned might be Andrew's. But I'm not sure about that.

just ignore Lee, Nani. I bet he's the kind of guy who paper clips his socks together in the drawer.
I think him telling you to become homosexual is a little over the line though....

Just so y'all know ,this particular article was written by Dr. Paul Rizzoli also from Massachusetts. He is head of the Graham Headache Center. I believe he is also on the Board Of Neurology @ Harvard Medical School.
Fag means cigarette in England.

Yes, I did know that, Danny. But, hey, thanks for stepping on my punchline! (I'm just teasing).
As an aside to Lee ... your callous nomenclature and presumptive labelling is duly noted and filed for future reference/retribution. Be warned. So tell us Lee....where DID you come up with your screenname?

LOL... I stepped away and missed all the fun.
Lee, darling, I've given up fags... they were bad for my health, and self-esteem.
Danny, don't mind Lee and Margi... they like to play.

You probably HAVE met a few Clusterheads and just not known it. The ones that i've known (prior to finding this board) I knew for a few years before we discovered we where BOTH Clusterheads. Unless they are in cycle, its' hard to tell.
