Title: siblings with CH?
Post by malcolm on Oct 30^th, 2014 at 3:27am

I've suffered from CH for 18 years, getting a cluster every 1.5 to 2.5 years, but it was only last year that I discovered that my older brother gets them, too. My sister has ordinary migraines but neither of my parents gets severe headaches, to my knowledge. Does anyone else here who gets CH also have siblings or other close family members that suffer from CH?

Ohayou gozaimasu Malcolm,

The cluster survey tab at the left indicates 13% of CH'ers have immediate family members with clusters.

Take care,

V/R, Batch

I have a sister that has CH. She has not had a cycle for years now. I don't know why, but one day they just stopped and didn't return.
