yesterday, my Dr. (neurologist) diagnosed me with CH - of course, this was after MRI, blood work and neck and spine xrays. I have been suffering from 1-2 blinding headaches a week for the last 15 years and have been treated with meds for the "M" word with no relief.
The pain is anywhere from 7-10 on the scale and I too can't be still - although I do have to be in my bedroom with no lights or sound. They usually last about 6 - 8 hours and I do have N&V - my doctor says it's from the intensity of the pain. I was in a horrible car accident when I was 3 and tore my neck up pretty bad so that only complicates things because my neck hurts all the time. Sorry for the long post but tell me what you think please.
Be gentle with the newbie please, I know tempers are a little raw and I did mention the "M" - Bob, you got my back?LOL
