I appreciate your comments. I think we need to be tolerant of newcomers. When we started out on this board, we asked all the same stuff these people are. Remember how it feels to be in horrible pain in the middle of the night and to be all alone and to not have a clue what is going on. I remember discovering about CHs reading some dumb book on HAs-and said to myself, that's it-and read on even when the author said it was a man's headache (hello).
Newcomers will figure things out soon enough. Maybe they are so desparate they can't sit and read; they want instant answers from fellow sufferers because like most of us they've never met one!
As for the hormones, I also agree. If the extra cells in the hypothalmus causes clusters, how does this work? Bet hormones of some sort are involved. Maybe it will take neurologists and endicrinologists working together to get the picture.
It is fascinating to me that the more we post about ourselves, the more we can understand about this beast.
