I also belong to a support group for survivors and caregivers of people with head injuries. Many of the survivors of head injuries report CH like headache symptoms, a few have said they have been diagnosed with CH. Seems more than the 1% of population figure.

So my question... Who here has had a severe head injury (accident, fall, stroke, anuerysm, anoxia, punched in head in school fight, etc)... and did not have CH before it happened?
