A point for this discussion: You can certainly
suffer from more than one type of headache (some
people suffer from 3, or even 4 types), and the
treatment for a CH is useless when you have one
of the other types. So, just because someone
might suggest that ONE headache is not a CH, it
doesn't imply that a person never has any CHs.
Another thing that can cause headaches, and also
make CHs much worse, is stress. So, it is to
everyone's advantage not to get all worked up.
That goes for everyone; if a posting is misinterpreted,
well, that's going to happen some times. I know
it is aggravating when you post something trying
to be helpful and get grief for it, but it may
be that the person had a CH at the time, and was
not thinking too well. I know that I have been
known to say dumb things when in the middle of a
bad headache. On the other side, if an observation
doesn't apply to you, why take it personally?
Maybe someone else will read it, and it will be
helpful to that other person.
