Hi, I just wanted to say I know exactly what you mean re driving while under the influence...of a cluster....I can't leave the house b/c of my 3 yr old and I am a single mum...in the middle of the night...but the other night after being in accident and emergency from 8 till 12 pm during a much looked forward to annual dinner...they said come back if you get another one and my dinner date stayed in case I got one so he could stay with my boy and I did and there was NO WAY I could drive to get the pain relief shot promised!!I like to hear that you noted that antibiotics might have been some sort of trigger...Please note I have asked if there is a questionaire around to correlate these sort of things...if there are 3000 members then surely there must be some sort of correlation table for research help. I had my amalgum fillings out the week before mine started this time..i.e...local anesthetic and the possibility of swallowing mercury filings from the fillings..........I really identified with what you said in your piece and I used to drag myself to my Dr. of 15 yrs and would get a shot from him while i was there and getting a headache...now he has moved...but I have found Immigran Injections seem to work for me which is a blessing as they didn't 5 yrs ago. I must stop typing on and all the best testy.....do u know of a questionaire for correlation...I posted this query but I don't know if anyone noticed it and I am new to site...thanks and be well, Megan in New Zealand
