Yup. Saw one in traffic the other day flipping everyone off. Why?

Did you flip him the bird back? You don't need to tolerate such un-neighborly behavior my brother.

Uhh... Anyone seen an Endocrinologist for CLUSTER HEADACHE?

My dad really pushed me into seeing an endo, thinking he would solve my problems, so I reluctantly went to one.

I told him my problems, and he looked at me and said "Why are you here?" I said "I'm not sure" he said he really couldn't help me, but did a few blood test for thyroid problems, jsut to see if a thyroid fluctuation might be not causing hte clusters, but certianly could be making them worse. Everything came up normal and I never saw him again.

One thing, if you DO decided to go to one, there are different kinds of endo's, specialists within a specialty, if you will. Just leep that in mind when you are looking for one.

Tucker-

Thank you for the response. I have a few people suggesting this route to me as well, since CH seems to relate to trouble with the hypothalamus. I already have a neuro that actually sees a lot of clusterheads. I don't think I'll be seeing one, but I was curious.
