Same question I asked a couple of months ago. Guess we both hold onto the same hope.

My CH are the same pattern as yours. Started late teens, 1 cluster/yr, 2-3 Ha/day, 4-6 weeks long. At age 40 they went to 1 cluster/2 yr., still 2-3 Ha/day but they lasted 6-10 weeks. Now at age 48, the last remission was 2 1/2 years. The cluster that just ended lasted 5 weeks instead of 10, only 1 HA/day and only one of those was a 10, the rest around 5. So, this last cluster was mild compared to others I've had. My hope is that I am outgrowing them.

About 12 years ago my neurologist told me that some people outgrow them around 50 but that he still sees people in their 60s & 70s that have them. Guess we can only hope & pray.

Hell, I'll even give up my senior discounts if old age just gives me relief from these things.
