I have 28 years invested in clusters - they started when I was 20. One of my interests is how they change over a lifetime.

I am episodic and my experience has been that the period between bouts has gradually increased from 1 year in the beginning to my current 3 years. My cycles are always about a month long. It is harder to judge the intensity of the attacks but I would say they are about the same.

I wonder if there are any other long term sufferers who have had the same experience as me?

I know that some of the literature says that we all eventually outgrow these things but I wonder how true that really is. The literature also says that the older an individual is when he or she gets that first cluster the more likely they are to go chronic.

What do you thnk?
