Hi! I'm 25 years old and have been living with CH for two years. They started after I had my daughter. During my seventh month of pregancy I developed Toxemia. Toxemia, if you don't know, causes severe swelling and dangerously high blood pressure. I was hospitalized then 4 weeks before my due date had a C-section. I have wondered if the high blood pressure could have caused the headaches to start. If anyone has ever experienced this please let me know???????

I go back to the neuro tomorrow. I try to explain to him and my husband the pain I feel when I have an CH. Let me know if this sounds right. I wake up at exactly 3:00 am it's like setting an alarm clock, it feels like an ice pick is stabbing my right eye, my jaw hurts and my ear feels like little bugs are eating my eardrum. I bang my hand on my head as I start to cry.
Thanks to all
