Well, it took your e-mail to bring me out of my shell and get me to post for the first time. My name is Darlene. I am from Nashville, TN. I will be 53 next week and I have been suffering from cluster headaches every day for 5 years now. The two unusual things about that is first, men usually get clusters, not women. Second, they call them clusters because they come in clusters and then may go away for months or years before attacking again. I am one of the rare cases that has chronic clusters which occur every day. Now for the things I have learned. Do not ever eat lettuce unless it is organic. No matter how many times it has been washed, it is like a sponge and absorbs the toxic chemicals and preservatives -- especially in fast food restaurants. Another pitfall is nitrates -- these can be found in hotdogs, sausage, lunchmeats, pepperoni, bacon, all the good stuff (LOL). I have found that I can eat a Ball Park frank on occasion and not develop a headache. Also oxygen at 8 ml helps me. I know this is a long post so if you want more info, my e-mail is [Edited by Asst.
