Hi all. I guess this post is mostly about 'the bad mood' that we experience from time to time. There are times that we clusterheads don't feel like dealing with the world.. don't talk to us, don't ask us stupid questions, just leave us alone thanks. We aren't in pain at the time, we simply don't feel like talking to anyone.
How common is this 'bad mood' amongst us? Does the bad mood cycle start years before the pain? In childhood even? Moodiness is a normal experience in teens. Were we more moody than others as teens? Of course this leads back to possible causes of cluster pain and might indicate some hyper hypothalamus condition.
Lastly, can someone give us a summary of functions of the hypothalamus? Flight and fright are two..?.. (is it the 4 F's?)
Painfree days a'head to all and patience for the patients. Let's help each other. (Poor Scott.. life must be hard for him)
