45 YEARS before proper diagnosis!
Aug 27th, 2013 at 1:51pm
 
Saw this article and watched the video, thought I would share. 

I'm sure most of us CH'ers can easily sympathize with the struggle of waiting years for a proper diagnosis/treatment and life limitations that this patient suffered for 45 YEARS before proper diagnosis! 

This video includes some interesting facts about headache disorders, lack of education provided to neurologists and limited supply of headache specialists in the USA.

45 years???  This was a Medical doctor?  I know that THAT many years ago there was virtually no information about CH, but 26 years ago when I had my very first CH, I went straight to my medical books and looked up my symptoms under "HEADACHES" and diagnosed myself.  Then it was off to see Lee Kudrow who gave me a formal diagnosis.   This man had far more access to medical info than I did with my Merck Manual.  Just makes me scratch my head.  Shocked
