Hi
some years ago I was searching the internet for informations about Cluster headache, or in my special case about "Bing Horton" Syndrom, for I was lost in pain and hopeless after 12 years suffering of that disease.
I found another messageboard where sufferers where in discussion. A short message was: "Am I wrong or are we all smokers here?" This message had no answer...(I did not want to know the answer then, but now I have to think about)
Meanwhile I have quit smoking (I was smoking a lot in the 14 years before) and since I have quit (two years now) I am free of attacks. I am not sure if there is a relation between smoking and cluster headache but for I remember my past I write this message to let all of You know my experience.
(By the way: I am still a smoker, just I dont smoke...)
regards from Germany and all the best for all of you!
