Folks ,
Not that anyone else hasn't already thought about this ...And I'm not a genius or anything ...( have I humbled myself enough ??:))

But don't you think we're getting too caught up with the drugs and dependency on drugs . ??? also the fact that they don't all seem to be working .

I believe that most of us who have CH have inadvertently been under a LOT of STRESS prior to the initial attack .

If you all think back for a moment ( haven't we all done that a zillion times already :))

I'm sure most of us have worked long hours , night shifts , together with having other kinds of stresses . Together with bad posture maybe ..It all adds up .

I , like every one of you out there , am trying to find a correlation between external factors , and maybe combined with some internal chemical imbalances ..if there is such a thing .

How many of you consider yourselves as having really abused your own bodies by neglecting sleep , excercise and so on ..

Maybe all this is just plain humbug , and maybe it isn't . In the face of the "specialists" who say that this is caused by reasons " UNKNOWN " . WE have no other option but to backtrack and share some experiences a little more .

For instance , some of us have tried some drugs with some success and after a while, they stopped . In a way , I'm not too glad I know this , because I will be in a false sense of security , but at least I won't be fooled by the Neuro .

I also won't be surprised as hell when it hits me again the next time . Having thought that it was " all over " .

Afterall , all that the neuros do is fill out a prescription for a medication that they've been told works for Cluster headaches by the pharmaceutical companies . I wonder how many of them do research ........


So , I'm not the bright light here who al of a sudden decided he's going to find what's causing this , but it's just that I've noticed that a lot of messages have been associated with which and what drugs work the best .

I hope you understand and take a minute to think if this has to do with stress and funny sleeping habits ...

For all of you who are going thru it now ...a big pat oops ...no no ...you don't want anyone to touch you ..


Hope you find something to smile about....


Have a great day ...and I hope I havent bored you ...

Yazz
