On the other hand . . . . this is from a 2010 study sponsored by ClusterBusters that collected data from more than 1100 people with CH. (Rozen and Fishman, "Cluster Headache in the United States of America.") The authors wrote, "The circadian periodicity of cluster headache is present but is not as common in the population as previously thought." "Months of the year that cluster headache cycles would start. In 41% of the survey responders, their cycles varied during the year, and there was no particular month the cycles would always begin. By percentages, the months of October (26%), September (21%), April (21%), March (20%), and November (20%) were the most likely for cluster headache sufferers to start a cycle. The remainder of the months of the year were evenly distributed with 11-13% stating their headaches cycles would start during these particular months. The lowest percentage was noted for the month of June at 10%."

I love how you are able to relate most back to music cool skill. What you just posted on here is something I've (believe it or not) listened to with my pop. He is an old hippy with a mind like nothing else. He made me listen to Simon and Garfunkel, Dr. Hook, Fleetwood, Floyd, Darryl Hall and Oats, Mr. mercury and the list could go on for days. Yes I'll take all smiles. Your singing voice included...

...i hear something like this or a Southern street fruit seller in your "lyrics"...

....WOW...that is way cool...it's lyrical, i was singing it!

That is the reason the link CH with the hypothalamus and diurnal cycles, as it is in charge or a component of your sleep wake cycle and seasonal cycles. It is what informs and regulates the "alarm clock" nature of CH

Yes, weird! And seemingly warranting investigation/research (?)

I have been describing to people for years that CH is the feeling that burning in Hell is. Why did I wonder what that was like when I was a kid? :p

That is right around the Summer Solstice, which is a prime cycle start date. June 21st. My start date is the Fall Equinox, September 22. Ending with the Spring Equinox in March. So, all four of those days are the most common days to start a cycle. Weird right?

I don't think it's odd anymore. I couldn't see from your profile where you are located but I am in (don't dis me) CA. I have had ash reining on my truck for months from the Caldor fire and have been stuck in cycle for 2 and a half months with one week off only in between attacks. I am newly diagnosed with CH and have only been surviving them for a bit over 2 + years now but this is the longest I've ever been stuck in a cycle (I usually get around 4 months off) longest duration off was almost 6 months. I've got 4 air purifiers running day and night and again today I'm spiking out.. Exactly one week off and the smoke blew into the valley today. I can say though that the D3 has made them manageable enough that I've been able to not use any abortive medicine. To start a cycle on the exact same day of the month is somewhat interesting however...

...i get it...there were times when an attack/cycle seemed so malevolent, intentional, designed and implacable that the thought of the beast as "entity" was nearly overwhelming. didn't wanna go there, but it served as a convenient anger sponge. eventually learned to direct the anger toward collecting the knowledge, tools and strategies for battling "the beast".....
