Title: Family History
Post by TomM on Feb 28^th, 2003, 4:59pm

Get this: My mother's mother has bad HA's (she'll be 92 in a week)and had 3 kids w/ bad HA's. Her son, my uncle and brother to my mom, gets severe migraines [I know BobG will go off on this] his 2 kids, my cousins, get bad migraines; My mom's sister gets migraines; my mom gets severe HA's and took cafergot in the 60's; my eldest sister gets severe HA's; my middle sister gets severe migraines and has had a few clusters; I get clusters and have had a few migraines.
Does anyone know of a study linking family history to HA's?

The Italians are also participating in a study of the clusterhead genome.

AND, you can participate in our own study on the OUCH 'Surveys" page.
