Has anyone heard of research being done with GABA (Gama aminobutyric acid)for clusters? GABA is manufactured in the hypothalmus and has been linked to anxiety and sleep disorders and production of growth hormone. I have endured relatively severe anxiety and depression at least as long as I've had my clusters.(about 15 years). I am convinced that much of this is due to the intense nature of our disease but wonder how much biological influence this neurotransmitter may have. The hypothalmus seems to be a leading candidate for our affliction. I feel for you all. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Get the word out! More research needs to be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
