...just come down with the commandments...
You said "Clusters are caused by a deformity of the hypothalmus. Sometimes it's latent and doesn't present until later in life, but it's there, ticking like a time bomb. That's it. That's all."
I don't recall hearing the fat lady sing...The hypothalamus thing has been noted by Goadsby...someone correct me if i'm wrong...in a majority of a small number studied,,,
"more pathology is needed "quoth he.
NOONE has ever claimed precise Knowledge of "what causes Clusters"...yet
Upon what meat has this Ceasar fed...?
There are too many variables...to date.
My Clusters at..uh...42...began after a serious neck/back trauma wrestling match with a copy machine/some steps/and a dumbshit coworker who couldn't hold his end of the bargain....cooincidence?....maybe they aren't Clusters?
Be wary of pontificating about clusters....Cause...triggers...cures et al.
