I've been dealing with these "headaches" for about 4 years and this past summer while delivering mail (i'm a mail man) i got the worst of the worst! I called my supervisor to pick me up because i could no longer take it. I sat in my mail car grinding my knuckles to the right side of my head. I could no longer take the pain and the 100 degree heat outside I laid on the grass waiting for someone to help me. I was taken to the ER and was then told I was probly suffering from CH. It sucked going back to work because everyone immediately thought it was because of the heat, but as you all know a little heat outside is nothing compared to that vein on the side of your head bulging and pulsing creating the worst pain known to man. It's nice to know there is a place where others know what your dealing with.

My life changed when I discovered using oxygen to abort my attacks. I have a giant tank in my garage at home and several smaller (one tiny) tanks to go portable.

Welcome "Mailman"!
Where I live is so small there is no delivered mail.  We all go to the post office.  It's kinda a social thing too.  I envy the mailboxes I see the rest of the civilized world has...walk out, pick up, walk back.  Cool.

People not understanding the condition or disease of CH is universal here.  We all have our stories.  You have come to the right place, for you are surrounded by expert patients and we ALL understand you.

Like Joe said, please share your rx's or lack there of, and how life has been for you.

Lot's of eager eyes and responding fingers..
