When My father was diagnosed by his neurologist, Dr Stauton in Schenectady NY, with CH, over 30 years ago. He was told by him that "ppl have been known to commit suicide because of the intense pain". As a teenager a had to give him with shots of some medication. I didn't know what is was and I had never given a shot before-which was a very scary scene, if you picture a man writhing in pain and a young teenage girl attempting to figure out how to draw medication up from a vial and stab her father with a needle to force the medicine into his muscles.
Fifteen years later, I developed a combo of migraines and CH. I know the first hand the difference between the two. Very few do.
Anything you put together for the Media you have my full support. I will submit to the Tampa/St. Peters/Clearwater media.
