Humm, I just don't know what to say except. Hi all, it seems there are many more that know the feeling of a CH. I think it's been four years now for me. "chronic" Lost my job of 14yrs, part of my sanity, amd many of my friends and co-workers. My bed seems like a place of death, with the killer lurking at my side always. I hope the letters to Oprah can draw our plight to the open. As for the stigma attached to the term "headach" let us join together and change the term.....Lets have a new term that will not make people think "Oh he/she just has a bad headache."
Only we can make a difrence. PS. My insurance has decided I only need 9 Imitrex per month, lets see thats 3 days worth of medication...Bummer. :(
