I've had them for most of my life and I've tried everything all of you talk about. Last year around May I ended up at an ENT and of course he made no guarantees. I ended up letting them do sinus surgery where they more or less bore you out. He also found a deviated septum,(broken cartilage)and a spur from it that was sticking in my sinus cavity. Not pleasant but I believe it may have been the linkup,if you know what I mean. I may get a sinus headach now or a muscular one coming from the back of my neck but they don't link up,therefor no cluster headache. All of us have a root cause and many may be different but It is worth checking out. I know I was on my last limits as they were almost constant. The ENT also told me he has cured numerous folks. I hope this is everyones cause but I know it won't be, but I hope it help some of you.
love you all and God Bless. Never give up hope and force your doctors to keep referring you to other specialist until they find the cause of yours. Don't listen to that nonsense of: WE DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES THEM.
