Barbara D and Jeff:
You raise some interesting points about "family connection". Maybe gary could do a study on this. I believe that Jack also posted some interesting information. My Mother's Brother had cluster. My Aunt has migraine. Her Son has what I suspect are cluster. His Sister's little boy (about 9) has already begun having headaches. The literature (if we can believe anything they say) says that it is rare for a clusterhead to have anyone in the famiy who also has headaches. So much for what they say!! My cousin tells me that my Aunt (A good Christian Lady) grows horns during an attack. I wondered where I got that from!! Note on the prednisone. Everyone at work keeps telling me I've lost weight. Actually, I belive that my face finally "de-puffed" from all the prednisone I was taking. Let me know your thought's on family connection.
Thanks//Phil
