How's that for ironic. Right after all of my whining and admitting defeat, this is my first night in WEEKS (I'm thinking 4) that I have not had a headache right on schedule, starting at around 5:30- 5:45. I started to get it. I drank a lot of water and some caffeine. I took no medicine; it's gone. I just can't believe it. I had been starting to get a little afraid, too, because of how they had been gaining in intensity. I am terrified of having attacks like what I've head about; who wouldn't be?!
Anyways, now I'm wondering: Is the cycle over?
A cluster headache is one of the most painful types of headache. A striking feature of cluster headache is that the attacks occur in cyclical patterns, or clusters — which gives the condition its name.
Bouts of frequent attacks — known as cluster periods — may last from weeks to months, usually followed by remission periods when the headache attacks stop completely. The pattern varies from one person to another, but most people have one or two cluster periods a year. During remission, no headaches occur for months, and sometimes even years.
