I agree that allergy is probably involved.
Ever noticed that cluster headaches seem to want
to get stronger and stronger? I mean, you find
a good drug, works for awhile, then stops working.
The headaches seem to have a purpose! As if no
drug can keep them from breaking through,
eventually.
I think that purpose may be to tell us that we're
poisoning our bodies somehow.
And if the majority of cluster headache sufferers
are cigarette smokers, I'd look to cigarettes as
the prime candidate for toxic foreign substance.
