Possible Athlete with CH?

Heard a little bit about this, trying to research more. Last years American League rookie of the year, Angel Berroa of the Kansas City Royals is on the diabled list with what's been called "severe migraines". At first I heard it called "recurring migraines".
Given the general ignorance of the public about headaches in general, I wondered right away if what he's got is actually Clusters...
Reading some of the blubs it seems he's had vomiting with his headaches, so perhaps it is NOT CH...they did a spinal tap on him, it looked normal, and since he's had no headaches.
I'm wondering if there are any KC baseball fans that might know more about this. The press reports are sketchy at best.

If the spinal tap alleviated his headaches, he could have been suffering from what is called Pseudotumor Cerebri, which is also known as Intracranial Hypertension Headache.

T.D. (Terell Davis from the Broncos, had to have oxygen at half-time, to aleviate his "migrane", the year that they beat the Packers in the superbowl. I was in my room snortin' trex at the same time.
