Title: Could this be the end of the cluster?
Post by LindaS on Dec 29th, 2009 at 1:34am
I am in week 4 of my 2nd cluster (first one was 5 years ago).  Went to ER last night with a doozy, woke up this morning with a shadow, that went away by noon and nothing but second long pain once in a while since.   
Could this be the end of my cluster?  I really hope so.

If you have only had a cycle twice, then you might not know your pattern yet.  How long did they last when you had them before?

As a general rule, I have to be headache free for at least a week before I will say they are gone.

Like Joni said, yes, no maybe! :-/ The not knowing can suck. Enjoy the pain free time, ALWAYS be ready to do battle.

My cycles have been very consistent for years in length. (all kinds of other morphs) 4 to 6 weeks. always 12/15 ish through mid to end Jan. Can't really say I recall any sort of change in hit intensity at the end.
I really believe in self fulfilled stuff... meaning I think you're done..

I guess I spoke to soon.  Woke up this morning with a shadow.  I felt a hit coming on at 10 so took imitrex, my first time.   It went away ten minutes later.   Guess I am still in my cluster

Good luck with that trex... To me that just ends up getting a longer season. I hope it doesn't work on you like it does me.

I have not had a CH in 5 days now, but have a 24/7 shadow. My season is ending.. and it has run since mid Oct.

I take no drugs and this time took none unless someone considers o2 a drug. I don't take drugs for much if anything though, to be fair.
