Hi all I am a new member just logged in today‚ Great site and good to know there’s an Aussie site where we can deal with this condition on our terms.

I was diagnosed with CH in January 2005 after my second cycle (aged 56); the previous being a 12 week stint in 1999 (aged 50) that went undiagnosed‚ after my second cycle I went chronic & have stayed that way; I also went through a period where I had Restless leg‚ Restless arm & Exploding head syndrome l am only mildly chronic in that although I shadow daily I can go for some extended periods without getting a hit above a KIP 5‚ the best stint being 244 days.
I’ve just finished a 7 week dance with the beast & looking forward to a beer.

My weapon of choice & the best is medical oxygen to abort with Magnesium and Taurine as preventatives.

Any way a bit about my other self: I’m 58 married with 2 grown children and live in Karratha Western Australia; the town is located on the North West coast of WA where the Woodside natural gas production plant is and the centre for the iron ore industry in the Pilbara.


Ill say by for now and will definitely keep posted‚ all the best & PF times to all.

Kind regards
Barry

Edited to add: Good to see some of the familiar Oz names from the US site Clusterheadaches .com

G'day Barry‚ sad to meet you‚ if you know what I mean. You must have thought you were going insane during your first bout‚ when no-one can tell you what's going on- I know I did. I love your part of the world‚ although it's been a while since I was up that far. Tell you what‚ you can think of me when you're too hot‚ and I'll think of you when I'm too cold. Cheers to you.
