Well, I may be the exception to the rule. I started
having clusters at age 14. I'd call that early
onset. I'm now 52, and it seems I've gone chronic,
since this recent "episode," instead of lasting
the usual 1 month, has been going on since August.
It's weird, though, because it still doesn't seem
like a full-blown horrific cluster episode, but
that may be because of the meds.
I'm wondering though, if this change in pattern for
me was brought on by a traumatic event in my life--
the sudden death of my brother 4 years ago. It's
so hard to establish cause with this damn beast.
Guess I'll never know.
