an unberrible pain woke me after midnight and although i did then what i'm doing now, jump out of bed holding my right side head with my right arm, start walking around and crying screeming and beg to die, i did not know then that i got the ch. but a thought did cross my mind may be i got cencer! i went then through all exeminations whish said my head is clean. thanks haven for this! but it took me few good years to find the right neur. who told me after hearing me that i got ch. i'm cronic and i get these beast visits evry night. did try all medications. nothing help so far. only thing that does but only reduct it a little is cafergot pill. when it leaves me in peac and the attacs varies between 10 min and 2 hours, i can go back to bed and fall asleep exhosted complitly and sleep for few hours. can never wake up befor 9 - 10 a.m. lucky me i'm retired so dont have to go to work and no more little kids to take care of.
