My Dad also has CH and I asked him about this.

He said he did get a break for about a year or so in his late 50's but they came back with a vengeance. He was also kind enough to inform me that for my future with CH given his history, I can most likely look forward to it getting worse long before it gets any better.

Um... Gee THANKS DAD!!! Undecided

I am already chronic how much more Chronic can I get? Huh

Never mind...don't want the answer to that Tongue

Anyway he's in his late sixties and still getting hit regularly. He lives with me so we help each other out with them when we can.

I hope this helps, even though it may not be what you wanted to hear.

I haven't had a big hit since I was 45 but the things have been known to return..... Sad

I hope you're too mean for the beast to want to stick around.

I'm a "head trauma" CHer. Nailed my noggin 1/01, 2 months before my 54th birthday . . . ha's started . . . 62 now and he's still around.

Thankful I haven't had them for decades like many here . . . at least this place was in existence and I only had a year of real hell before my wife found this life-saving home for me.
