On one hand, it's great that there is mention of CH on Fox News, but it would be better if they could publish more accurate info. Seems like we might want to organize the stats from the survey and perhaps do a press release, maybe get some input from Dr. Goadsby or something for writing the article.

I would be willing to help.

I sent them a note, thanking them for bringing awareness and letting them know they had some facts wrong.

I like the part about having 100 babies without an epidural... never heard it put that way before....

But the O2 part was out of date -- maybe a few years ago... close but no cigar... And the 90% men part... I think we've disproved that a LONG time ago..

Yep they should have checked their facts a little better -- maybe they should come to ch.com and READ a little about CH, but any mention is GOOD. At least people are finding out this isn't just a "little" headache anymore.

Chronic headaches, which are more common, can occur every day, up to eight times a day. Episodic headaches are random and are usually triggered by a stressful event.

Maybe that explains why they're called suicide headaches. Episiotomy by hollow point.

AH!!! I am SO glad that was pointed out to me! That lets me know that I am just imagining the pain on the other side of my head!

WHEW!!!

What a relief! Here I thought I had them on both sides of my head!
