I am 31 years old, and started getting episodic CH at age 17. I am 6'1" and weight about 210 at the moment, but range anywhere from 185 to 220 from month to month
I used to smoke from age 18-23, was a pretty heavy drug user during that same time (marijuana, coke, mushrooms, acid, alcohol, meth, etc...). Never had any head traumas and there is no family history of CH or even migraine. I do drink alcohol socially at the present time, but have not used illegal drugs in about 8 years.
One thing that I always wondered was whether my use of anabolic steroids at age 17 contributed to my getting CH. I was told by the guy I got them from that I may get headaches as a side effect, and began getting CH shortly afterwards. I attributed their onset to the steroids, and have wondered since whether there was any sort of correlation.
No surgeries to speak of, except for repair of my glenoid labrum, clavicle, and rotator cuff from an injury suistained in a jiu-jitsu competition about 2 years ago. It had nothing to do with headaches though.
I have suffered from some depression and have been diagnosed with Adult ADHD, but am not on any sort of medication for treatment
Other than that, I have been extremely healthy
