Welcome to the community @Nikola, sorry you have the need to join us!! Unfortunately, the short answer is there really isn't a definitive answer to your question!! ive been a episodic clusterhead since 84.....42 glorious years now......before I got here 16 years ago my cycles we're fairly predictable.....18 to 19 month remission and 5 to 6 mo cycle usually beginning in August. But I know many folks that get 2 cycles per year and always have.....the untreated Beast truly has a mind of it's own!! Couple things you might look at here are high flow oxygen for aborting individual attacks, and the anti inflammatory vitamin D3 regimen to lessen the frequency and severity of attacks. Dallas Denny

Hi @Nikola, I've probably made mental note of this especially since it corresponds to my own experience, but I've seen many report extending remissions as their decades with CH hurl by. In fact for nearly a couple decades, remissions between my bouts with episodic CH (which started around 1980) were ever-increasing in length, something I imagined that if I'd kept track, those extensions might have correlated to some sort of Fibonacci number series. The bouts themselves extended also though, increasing in length from a couple weeks to 2.5 months, and at some point the attacks increased in severity, with the individual attacks going on as long as 3 hours, compared to maybe 20 minutes or so with my very first inaugural attacks. This increased-severity deal could have been spurred by one truly honking drug cocktail I was prescribed at a point, though imitrex, the most oft-accused drug for causing such issues, wasn't even available then. I still find myself with nice longgg remissions, but not predictably ever lengthening - I've had shorter ones following longer ones, so no pattern anymore. The blue 'New Users Read Here First' banner up top of the page here ^^^^^ provides introduction to the manner in which many of us have successfully thwarted the Cluster Bunny when it comes a 'knockin, and the Basic non-busting information is good too:

Hallo! Currently operating on an available budget of £5K, but aiming for £15-20 total, to cover the full process including post-prod, and festival submission etc... Initially, we were planning to run it on the shoestring/low budget end of things, but my new director is keen on securing proper funding so we're not compromising on quality or fees. We have a possible producer on board now and links to a few potential backers, but all interest is good interest! The script is currently 14 pages and we'll be aiming at 10-12minutes or so Cheers!
