I just happened across this page...I suffered from cluster headaches for 30 years!!! the stabbing complete torturous pain right behind the eye...crawling around on the floor in the dark..beating your head against the floor or wall..you name it...been to all the doctors..had all the tests...all the mri's cat scans various medicines...all the time thinking it would be better just to shoot myself in the head before the next one hits...7 years ago my wife read an article about them and what we eat...she discovered processed foods...stuff like hot dogs...canned goods..foods with MSG..beer cheese chocolate or any other foods laden with good ole chemicals..can be the trigger...since we have stopped eating all that stuff (especially food with MSG) I have not had an episode for over 6 years!!! I hope this message gets to some of you and god knows I hope it helps!!! contact me if you wish at happy@modempool.com john anderson...
