Hi Everyone,
I hope all your episodes are coming to a quick halt!!
While I know that not everyone with CH has low blood pressure, mine is unusually low. I have also, always suffered from motion sickness and could never, even as a child ride on any amusement rides. I usually take Bonine, which is like Dramamime whenever I fly or take a cruise. Another point I want to make is the heredity thing. Practically all on my mother's side suffered from "Migraine", even my uncles. I have suffered from one type of headaches or another all of my life. I'm now starting to think that (some) of my family suffered from the big "C". Three of my four children also complain of headaches from time to time. Though they're young 14, 19, 21, I pray they'll never experience CH.
I have an early memory of an aunt of mine having to take a shot for her headaches, and another cousin constantly going to the ER for her headaches.
Don't know if this is relevent or not, but several months ago I started twice monthly theraputic massage & started a diet & exercise program in the last seven weeks. The "MONSTER" tried to stop me, but I didn't let it this time. My attacks seems to lessen in severity & the strong coffee busted them within 10-15 minutes.
Remission for all
Stay Well
Chana
