No clinical importance except if you shift from one-sided to both sides it MAY signal a move to chronic CH.

thebbz Ex Member	Re: dominant sides? Reply #2 - Aug 14^th, 2008 at 1:47pm I am left handed as well as left headed. I now wonder if that correlates with the side of the hypothalamus that has abnormal grey matter growth? I am sure we all have these wonderful questions bouncing around. At least I hope so. thebb

midwestbeth Ex Member	Re: dominant sides? Reply #7 - Aug 14^th, 2008 at 6:35pm Right handed, left headed. One more thing, my left eye is very dominant. Has anyone noticed if they get hit on the same side as their dominant eye? Some things that require focus, like shooting a gun, I will do with my left hand. Beth

Right and right. No idea which of my eyes is dominant, if either is.

Interestingly, after many CH years and then a 4 year break, in my recent 2 1/2 month cycle it was of course right side per usual. Until one weekend when everything shifted to the left. Just for a couple of days. This I found ominous, especially in light of Bob's comment about side-shifting possibly presaging a chronic condition. Here's to the 'MAY'....

I'm sure someone will answer it intelligently. Far as I'm concerned both my eyes work equally well.... or poorly. I still can't see in the dark, through walls or terribly well underwater, for instance.

Haha David, love reading your posts. They always seem to make me crack a smile or laugh out loud.

I am righthanded, and my clusterside is right. But when I was in the military, I used to aim with my left eye. So now I am confused about what my dominant eye is. They seem to work equally as far as depth is concerned. And I work with my eyes.
