i've done pretty good research on both sides of family. so far i'm the only known "CLUSTER-HEAD". although migranes were on both sides. is this rare? my gut feeling is that some of these family members probally had clusters and were diag. with migranes.

I couldn't find any history in my family of clusters or migraines. My father was allergic to dynamite, it gave him a 3 day headache. He also got a raging headache once in a while when on an extended drunk, a shot to knock him out fixed those as best as i remember. Guess you never can tell when someone will break new ground.

Migraines seemed to run in my family on my Mom's side. My to sisters escaped them and I seem to have passed them on to my daughters and my 10 year old grandson (God help them all). I can't find any CH tendencies any where else in the family though - perhaps I did something wrong in a previous life and am now being punished for it!

My maternal grandfather had histamine headaches aka clusters. My sister has migraines, my mother had migraines, but I believe she had undiagnosed episodic CH, looking back she had the symptoms.

My grandmother suffered from classic migraine but my brother suffered from ch. Otherwise, I don't know of any other family members who were afflicted. My brother seems to have outgrown his - it has been nine years since his last episode. He is 59. Anybody have any info about outgrowing the beast? dagger

| I'm going on 58 and I haven't had a full blown cycle in almost 5 years. Just cycles of shadows each year. There are others here older than I am and they are still have regular clusters. Outgrow? I don't know.

I have a sisters with clusters, a brother and an other sister without. No sign of any headaches in parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts and about 2 dozen cousins. BTW, I'm 67, my sister 71. So much for outgrowing PFNADs, Ueli

I think my father had migraines. Not sure. Could have been clusters? He was never diagnosed. They went away when he turned 50 and he seems to think I may have the same good fortune.

Nitro! Yup, it sure is, but the never had a cycle of anykind, only rare bad headaches, either nitro or alcohol induced. But, alcohol is one heck of a trigger for me.Who knows, pain is pain, and the beast sucks!
