Title: histamine

I've been reading about histamines.  They can cause inflamation, increase permeability of blood vessels.  Thus blood fluids enter the area causing swelling.  It is an autoimmune response.  So how about antihistamines?

Some people with clusters do use antihistamines as a preventative and report some sucess.  Both as anti-inflammitory, and to change sleep, which could also keep the beast at bay.
