My younger sister started her journey at age 25. My dad mentioned that he had agonizing headaches back in 1945 lasting about a month, but he can't remember much else exept that THEY were really terrible.
I have talked to many people about CHs and some definatly had one ore two, a single episode, a dozen or so over a long period of time an so on.
I remember reading a HA book stating this does happen, but some how the research on this survey does not appear in current HA related material.
heredity and and genetics has contradictions and I see a sort of a radomization among families but I do not know a great deal about CHs or genetics, thus my experiences and knowledge of CHs is biased.
I sometimes wonder if lattitude, or some external thing, like a virus is the cause???? I personally believe CHs are a genetic oddity.
Have a painless weekend you all.
