Jamie,
My experiences have been similar. I started having what was diagnosed as cluster headaches about two years ago. Since then, spring and fall,
(pollen seasons) they reoccur. Thinking there could be other problems (I have a deviated septum) I convinced my doctor to get a CAT scan of my sinuses. Lo and behold, one side is badly deformed (the side with the headaches) and there is a polyp there. More than one doctor has poo-pooed the idea that there is a connection, even when I mentioned that I get some relief from certain sinus/cold medications bought over the counter. go figure.
