Here is the link.  This is a great video.  Good info by the speaker, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.  He brings up O2 also.

It wasn't bad however, it was funny how they said the Doctor had CH and then he said he didn't and at the end she made another comment about him having it.

Smoking is a trigger?  Really?

Otherwise, I thought the doctor did a fine job.  I found myself wishing he had mentioned how strange it is that pain killers (narcotics) don't seem to work.

You've overstayed your welcome since the day we met but it doesn't seem to matter to you.  No medications are your master, nothing makes you fret, it's a helpless feeling having nothing I can do

Smokeing is a HUGE trigger for me.  Since I have quit, I swear my cycles have reduced in time, frequency and intensity. 

Yes, you must understand that those news people are as knowledgeable about CH as the person next to you.  At least the doctor corrected her that he didn't have them, lol!  He seemed to be knowledgeable though.  The more press, the better Smiley

Cycle time, frequency and intensity are a different subject from substances that might trigger an individual attack. Many here report that things which trigger hits while in cycle don't bother them when out of cycle.

Umm....I understand that Brew.  Smoking or even being near smoke while in cycle is a MAJOR trigger.  When out of cycle, if I still smoked, it wouldn't be a problem.

It is good that they talk about CH. But why talk about"new hope"?  It is not a new treatment at all.
