'Remember you are your best advocate when it comes to your health!' Always Bosco, always!!!

Makes perfect sense that the ratio would drop with time. I myself am a female. I suppose I got lucky in diagnosis with my neuro. I think an important factor is (can they hear me)! Are they taking a through account of my symptoms? I was diagnosed with migraine for nearly 2 years by female general practitioners Remember you are your best advocate when it comes to your health! I got so fed up with my practioner that I fired her (she tried to tell me I had 2 types of headaches) and that was the end all. I then had an attack that made me believe I was gonna die. Dialed ER got routed to SF. Then got a smart neurologist that opened the conversation with "description of pain in your words" he instantly said oxygen and you have cluster. I suppose I got lucky..

Bless you, O'N', for somehow keeping a sense of humor about this, and for the good care you have taken of yourself. At the same time, this guy should be reported to someone. He's a disgrace. It's one thing to be ignorant about CH (as so many are), it's another thing to have your head this far up your butt that you can't see daylight. In the great journal article posted here recently (https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj-2020-059577), this appears on the first page. Maybe you should send it to him. Or someone. Sex ratios and cluster headache The true sex ratio is unclear, as the sex ratio decreased each decade from the 1960s to the 1990s at a single site, and the male to female ratio was 4.3:1 in a 2008 meta-analysis but 1.3-2.6 in large studies in the 2010s. Previous misdiagnoses in women are one possible reason for the decreasing sex ratio.
