In response to your questions:
--To my knowledge, gender does not play a role in the
intensity of the headaches. Clusters are an
equal opportunity affliction.
--I've never read that clusters "tend" to do anything. I
believe the pattern varies with the individual. But,
I could be wrong on this. I don't know if any
statistical studies have been done that could
answer your question.
--I've read that if either parent had cluster OR
migraine, there is a genetic predisposition to have
one or the other.
If you post regarding the specific drugs and dosages
you're on, maybe we can help you. The information
I've gotten from this message board far exceeds any
that I've gotten from any doctor.
