I did pretty good through this period but the cycle has been ramping down for a while now.

I'm in cycle right now and I have had it fairly easy for the last week so if I get some bangers on those days I will let you know.

Oh man, Here I am on about week 9 of 12 and I have a tooth extraction next week. It would be a nightmare to extend or restart a new cycle. The cycle has been fairly tame after starting out way strong. It got way easier after some DMT aborts. I wonder if it had any effect?

I do hot soaks in the tub but it only works about 50% of the time. GL with that bust! TY Eric, you as well! I'm hoping that if a bust can't stop this that maybe it will end early since it's so weird. I usually go 12 weeks and just starting week 7 now.

Yes, this is a bad one and a weird one. It ramped up to week 8 action within the first two weeks then it shifted downwards and is easier right now than a normal week 6 of the cycle. Easier as in less attacks per day but the one or two per day I am getting are real bangers that have me dripping in sweat from the pain. This cycle also seems resistant to my abort methods and busting has not worked either.

Hi, welcome! It's a good place to be! I wish you well on your warrior journey.

My cycle has been ramping up faster than usual as well. On week four and going through week eight BS. Yeah, the first couple weeks are a walk in the park for me as well.

I could use a buddy these days. In the middle of a banger cycle. Only sleeping a cup hours per day since falling asleep triggers more hits. Had a 3 hour attack last night! Stay strong warriors!

Unfortunately the seeds did not bust my cycle. Working on getting some MM and a DMT pen but got caught with my pants down on the war kit and the money situation is in shambles since I had to miss some work. Yeah, mine started almost three weeks ago with a headache after drinking some beers and has ramped up to a full cycle. Sitting on about week three of 12 if I can't get a good bust in there. GL!

I'm in the exact same boat. Maybe a week ahead of you. The attacks when I fall asleep are ramping up. Had four last night.

Do you also get mega brain freeze like I do? I'm so sensitive to that, it feels like a cluster headache for like 20 seconds sometimes when I get brain freeze. Pretty sure most people don't feel brain freeze like that!

Hang in there Kevin, the no sleep part is the worst! Hopefully you are closing in on the end.

I get those effects in my sinus after a DMT hit. It's very weird, the sinus is moving or something. Sometimes it even kinda hurts a little.

I'm just super grateful that the condition is tamed with less cycles and supportive tools for when in cycle. I consider it a huge win. DMT vape pens are magical abort tools for our condition.

Glad to be here! Almost six years for me.

Since 98 here. One thing clusters are well known for is changing and stuff that used to work does not work anymore.

Awesome, mine are right on schedule. Last year was oct- mid december. Shadows have been happening lately. Ah well, time to start busting.

It's def suspect as being spammy for a first post at the very least.

Never had that happen. My daughter has schizophrenia though and describes that kind of stuff happening to her.

Yup. It's basically 90 days off the beer when the CH drops. A good break!

I know mine is coming very soon. The beers will let me know! Hoping to skip it though. Did A few L trips this year to push it back...

I guess it is to help with bleeding. My dentist refused to use zero epi but he did cut it way down. It sure does trigger them!

Any headache condition is terrible. I hope you can get to the bottom of it. You had me thinking of my first experiences with cluster headache back in 1998ish. I had no idea what was going on and I went through it with no doctors thinking I was finally feeling a headache like people always complain about since I never had any type of headaches before that. Either way it will be OK though, just something to deal with. You got this.

Smelling burning cooking oil can be a major trigger.
