You're at the age when new Cluster cases are uncommon and they may mimic other, often, more serious conditions.

Suggest you print out this file and give to the doc. Ask what he thinks.

Hi Linthead

Yes it does happen that some get CH late in life but it's still worth checking for anything more sinister before settling on CH.

I didn't get it till just before I turned 50 & then had a 5 year remission before it came back & I've been chronic since, now 62.

My thought is if it is supposed to get you early in life & go away as you get older then I am going to have to live till I am around 150 years old to prove the theory. :D

Cheers

Yeah maybe you late bloomers are just young for your age.  :D
