It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Never heard of it being used for "happiness" - just for sleep. Sometimes I have happy dreams, though.
Perhaps that's why your sleep patterns are screwed up. It's not meant to be taken during the day.

Thornhill is on the outskirts of Toronto so that would place the poster in Ontario and about 30 minutes from Major I would think.

that would be Thornhill ON though, wouldn't it, Carol? I just haven't heard of a province called OOE before.
Figured maybe I'd missed one.

Good find but doesn't seem to pertain to CH other than effecting body temp and other things controlled by our hypothamathingamajig

If you take it 30 mins before bed it won't mess with your sleep times.

Melatonin with a happy ending for me.
Irregular sleep patterns? Not compared to sleep patterns when getting hit!

That explains it ... The pineal gland is the seat of the soul, and we have heavy souls that sat too long on the pineal gland and crushed it. Now we lack melatonin!
Seriously, though, melatonin has been shown to help with cluster headaches. Not a silver bullet, but helpful for about half of people in placebo controlled trials.
