Dear Tortuga,
Why not a virus connection? The many questions and theories regarding clusters speak to the issue of inadaquate research devoted to these monsters. Why not a diet connection? Why not a weather connection? Why not a hormonal connection? The unanswered questions go on. Until we get the medical society and society in general to acknowledge the validity and devastating impact of cluster h/a's so that more monies are allocated toward research, we'll continue to bump around these questions like ping pong balls. I'm hard pressed to think of another disease or malady which can affect one's life with such pain and devastation, that comes with no answers or understanding. Personally, I think these monsters would be a whole lot easier to live with if we just had some small sense of the physiology of them. Until then, sure, why not a virus connection! {{{{Tortuga}}}}} you are not alone here. Wishing you pain free days ahead.
