Another article that all US GP should be aware of.

It doesnt have a lot of information but it has 3 good things :

1- The need for abortive and preventive.

2- That oral meds are too slow as abortive.

3- Oxygen as first line of treatment.

But then it has many bad things such as CH is caused by smoking ? I dont think that has been proven  yet !

What do you think ?

2- That oral meds are too slow as abortive. glad they see that !

3- Oxygen as first line of treatment. now this i think is the best bit by far ! safe with no side effects, works for most.

well the smoking i have seen a big long post about this where about 60people posted, and there really was no pattern to it at all. But still seems to be that a lot of people think its caused by smoking ! but i know clusterheads that have never smoked, parents have never smoked and still have ch.
