Hey guys.   glad to be here,  glad u are here, and introducing myself.
Im 52 yo  live in central valley California and have been a sufferer of CH since my 20's.    I was told at diagnosis that these incredible HA's would go away when i hit my late 30's...  he ha he ha.      Anyway  here I am.   My wife was here looking for answers many years back but thought I would rejoin cuz Im due another bout any day.   I feel em coming...

Welcome to the club Jim.

I was told I would grow out of this also.  I thought I did.  Six year remission.  I'm 62.

What kind of stuff are ya on?

Hi Jim and sorry you had to find us but now you are amongst others who can help a lot with advise.

As you have read then in so many posts that o2 is our main abortive for the majority here. Please talk to your doc about getting a script for it. You will need the following:

100% o2 with a high flow regulator of at least 15 LPM and a NON-Rebreather mask. Get on the o2 at the very first sign of an on-coming hit. By doing this I can stop a hit in a few minutes every time!

There are quite a few meds available to take as a prevent. I use Verapamil at 480mg daily and so far this dosage is working fairly well for me.

Pull up a chair and read all you can to the left, and let your wife know she is more than welcome to sign on in the supporters area, she will be welcomed with open arms.

Nice to meet you.

  Barry

Welcome Jim
