First let me say that the best thing that has happened to you is you no longer have the doctor that was giving you all the antibiotics over the phone without seeing you. Big no no.
My husband has clusters and also sinus problems. He has had 2 sinus surgeries to remove a cyst from the sinus cavity. First doc did not remove the sack and the cyst came back. Second doc got the sack and and so far, so good. I never believed that the surgery would get rid of the ch’s, but that he had both sinus and ch’s, which proved to be true.
Some perfumes and colognes bother both of us. Both of us will get instant migraine type h/a’s from the smell. But it does not trigger a ch for him. If you are exposed to these perfumes and colognes in your work place, there are OSHA laws that can help you. Where I worked, it was made mandatory that no one wear heavy colognes or perfumes in my department because so many people were getting sick from the smell. Too many people wear too much of these new concentrated perfumes and colognes.
Get a nuero. He should be able to diagnose your problems. Be persistent. Don’t give up.
