Hello,
I'm a newbie to this site, thanks for your support and advice so far 
I have noticed a couple of people have mentioned chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia and as a suffer of fibro myself was wondering if there was any link? How many others out there suffer from these symptoms??
Wish you all PFNAD and if all else fails... I'm still laughing at some of the messages on here - I thought Mike said banana too - and was considering it and Le-Limey (?) sorry - the pop rocks - outrageous! LMAO

A nurse friend posed a similar question to me yesterday. I have Lupus and fibro and can't help but wonder if there is a link to the auto-immune system. Anti-inflammatories sure don't do anything for me headache wise, of course neither do any of the other oft prescribed HA meds so I can't even give any anecdotal evidence.
One commonality is that doctors seem to treat us like nutcases on both counts.

If I wasn't doing this I'd probably be doing something else.

Fibro involves disturbances to the serotonin system and immune system - that could definitely interact with clusters. I don't think most clusterheads have fibro. Fatigue, but mostly when the clusters wear us down.
