Its been 9 days since Ive had a major headache and 4 days since my last shadow. Last time I posted I was pain free I got one that same day. Hopefully I dont jinx myself again. I swear the beast can hear you talk about him and he doesnt like it. I plan on taking a drink of alcohol this weekend. Ill know if the cycle is gone for sure then. Its been one hell of a 3 month battle. I hope its over.

I think what Thomas is talking about is that pain killers can cause rebound headaches.

I started the middle of September. I get them at night same time every night 10pm. Then woken up at 5am with another. I stocked up on the imitrex over the summer but just about out now. The insurance wont cover until october 27. Which totally sucks.

Unfortunately most painkillers will cause headaches after a while. Read the side effects of headache tablets, "may cause headaches" !?!
Last Season, ( July / August (when baby rubberplant was being born and Mrs. Rubberplant was going through excruciating agony )) I was taking Migraleve, because they hadn't diagnosed me as a CH. I had headaches on the shadows. If you see what I mean.
In between the spike of the cluster I suffered HA's from tooooo many pain killers. Drink Water.
Drink more water,
Then drink a bit more.
I seem to be just lightly shadowing at the moment, nothing ominous, just a grey cloud.
Seriously hoping all of you in Open Cluster Season were out here.
Here's hoping!
PFDAN to all
Best Wishes
James

I believe the cycle started slowly.....a couple 2 nights in a row.....then every other night.....then shadowing...and getting stronger and needing oxygen and my meds.....I am hopeing and praying that my zonegran is somehow keeping them lower key this time......but you never know until the end of a cycle if something has really worked all that well....so....I'm about into my 3rd or 4th week I guess....so hold on tight.....Praying for an easier ride this time.... 
Love you guys,
Karen

Started Late May, or early June. Been gettin hit max of 3 times a day, least of once every 2 weeks. Verapamil seems to keep them at bay, but I am beginning to suspect the verap keeps them comming back. Have lots of shadows all the time, especially when I get hot at work. I guess Im in cycle, then again, I may have become cronic.

Same as me champ... mid to end of may, however we're not even half way to being chronic. Here's wishing you relief.
