RIGHT ON! The last time I went to the Diamond Headache Clinic (www.diamondheadache.com), I picked his brain about these things (CH). One doctor only studies clusters and has been all over the world, giving talks on them. He told me they are finding that they have something to do with the melatonin in the brain (proves it is a 'chemical' thing) and also your circadium rythym. I firmly believe this although I know there are also other factors, such as I usually start in spring (occasionally fall), but also when I am under a lot of stress. Last spring I managed to forego a year. I started taking 450 mg of St. John's Wort twice a day through the summer. Don't know if it was the trick but I plan to go and start up again. I feel for everyone and we can't let these monsters eat us. Together WE can solve the mystery. It's out there.
