...I like spiny's pro-active educational approach.....I didn't have the energy to do that with 4 of the 6 I've seen (neuros seem to be higher on the arrogance spectrum in my experience)….one of other 2 recognized that I knew more about CH than her and just gave me what I wanted (O2 and triptans)….and the one headache specialist I found (at a closed now HA clinic) made me cry (in a good way) when she physically flinched at my telling of history and said "I treat CH very aggressively"...she was and is a HA researcher at Stanford (some of which CHfather has posted here)...
...long way to say ya GOTTA find a HA specialist....
...interesting re the pupil constriction...no one has ever commented on my permanent hit side constriction...other than to shrug with indifference (eye docs). Seems to me would be one piece of the diagnostic puzzle pieces....
