I'd say go and get some Professional Help my friend,

You are definitely not alone, I also have a 'weird' migraine/CH co-existence that differs a bit from yours. If I'm in a cluster cycle I will have no migraines, however the final dose of a 3-dose bust will often trigger a migraine. If this happens then 90% of the time it means the bust has worked and my brain has flipped back to migrain mode. I'll then have a few migraines over the following months until CH rears its head again. So in my case it's a bit of flip-flopping, I can only recall one instance over the past 17 years where I had a migraine during a CH cycle. The moral of the story is I guess that both these conditions are pretty complicated and not very well understood, and there is almost certainly some cross-over in causes that leads to our individual circumstances. By accepting our individuality it also opens the mind to expermenting with the different busting regimes/tactics and finding something that works for you if the standard regimes aren't quite working or that may go against current thinking. Good luck with your journey...

You are not the first to report this unfortunately.. As for the duration.... i've had attacks that have lasted upwords to 6-8 hours. Not common, but again not unheard of. Now that we know you are a rt sider (sorry) for this unfortunate experience.. it sounds even more like CH. I'm not a Doctor and have no definitive answers and can't even claim to know "what is what".. I can tell you that shadows are a really unfortunate offspring of CH. This conversation makes me feel like another member @mit12 with both migraine and CH might have some insight? @mit12
