Maybe they all suffered from Candida overgrowth, I think I picked up mine from another person, or my system was weakened from antibiotics to let it overpower my normal balance. Hey I think there has to be a cause for these headaches not just a treatment of the symptoms. Like if you have a cold you get a running nose so they give you something to stop the running nose and hope your body takes care of the cold itself. That seems to be the way the doctors try to treat headaches they try to give you medication to kill the pain and not try to fix the cause. From what I've seen on the net and what other people have told me about their experience with antifungals there is a pretty good chance that these cluster headaches are caused by the toxicity of the Candida Fungus. I personally four years ago finished suffering with clusters after 14 years by being treated with diflucan.
