It's been a while since I last posted here and have a question about Melatonin.  My headaches usually arrive in December - why they are starting in September is a mystery to me. I recently found out I have Hyperthyrodism which have produced 'regular' headaches daily and nightly which are pretty much controlled with ES Excedrin. But now the cluster h/a's are back.  My doctor is famous for dispensing 'pills' and doesn't fully understand the cluster headache issues. (I am almost surely going to switch primary doctors).  After 4 nights of headaches with no relief I decided last night to swallow 12 mgs of Melatonin pills.  I slept the entire night but did have a 'regular' headache upon arising this morning.  I rarely have CH's during the day but last week I went to the beach, forgot my hat, and almost immediately my left nostril started running and sure enough a headache started - cluster style - with no relief in sight other than to wait it out.  Since I haven't been here in a while I was wondering if any medical breakthrough's have been made on this condition. 

beast did not want you having any fun, so he tagged you at the beach.   no, I'm not kidding.
