Five (5) Years CH-Free
Oct 10^th, 2010 at 9:32pm

Hate to jinx myself, but I was looking at my calendar and I am very proud to write that I have officially made it 5 years without an attack Cheesy

Prior to my last cycle in Fall 2005, I suffered episodic CH's annually for 26 years since I was 11 years old. My guess why I have made it 5 years CH-Free is either:

a- I am getting older and CH's are known to decrease/diminish with age.

b- in 2006, I suffered from a closed head injury resulting in a coma and the accident might have altered my brain to be CH-Free

or c- just lucky! Wink

My bet is d - all of the above!

Glad to still be a part of this family and if anybody is in Las Vegas that ever needs support, please feel free to contact me.

Congrats on the 5 years...There very well could be something to that (head-injury)...in the summer of 2007,i had a head injury (they put in staples) instead of stitches...I was chronic at the time and in November of that year they disappeared for a while...Since then i have been episodic...So maybe thats all we need is for someone to hit us upside the head with a bat to get some releif Cheesy
