Episodic or remission?

 Okay, I admit it - I'm a complete 'DUH'!
But after catching up on some of the posts I was wondering if my statement of being in remission is correct. I still have attacks about 1-2 times a month. So is that remission or episodic?
I have to say I don't get them all the time like I did, but then I used to get them all the time between September to July. Then from July to September they'd be clear.
So what do you guys think? Am I deluding myself thinking I'm in remission with them, but am really episodic; or am I right?
Thanks guys!
Take care.
Catch you on the flip!

Hi Tracy, In my opinion if you are still getting attacks 1-2 a month then you are not in remission. Maybe its leading up to it, maybe the beast decided to change his schedule, who knows with him but I do wish you luck and hope he is on his way out...

Hi Tracy. An important question: Are you currently taking any cluster headache preventative meds (like verapamil)? If you are, then you probably can't say that you're in remission. Remission is 2 weeks without cluster headaches and unmedicated.
