My clusters have always been completely random. For the first 20 years they hit every 8 or 9 months and lastede 4-6 weeks. When I turned 40 y/o the switched to every 2 years but last 12 weeks when they came. Each cluster is a little farther apart as I age. Last remission was 2-1/2 years.
The official definition of chronic is headaches lasting one year without a break of at least 14 days. So you could have them every day for 11 months and then get a 15 day remission and start all over for another 11 months and you wouldn't "officially" be chronic.
