fella1234 57 Posted December 10, 2017 Just a curiosity question for episodic cluster sufferers: when do you breathe a sigh of relief and feel like your cluster cycle is done? For myself, I know I am done with a cycle after four full days no attack or shadow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jon019 453 Posted December 10, 2017 ...when episodic....6-8 wks on/off (23 yrs)...I knew cycle was over when I got a MASSIVE hit after a tapering off of multiple daily hits....a bell curve of remarkable consistency. I CRAVED that gut wrenching hit....being willing to bear what I knew was the "end"..... Best wishes....tis a journey...the way is long and tortuous.... but the light at the end is there.... AND....when you get there...and you will...indescribable Jon 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amon10 26 Posted December 12, 2017 Episodic over 25 years now and the majority of my cycles did not end any way special. For me it took a while to grasp it but I know when my cycle ends because it is like a fog has been lifted. Unscientific I know but I just feel “normal” again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mit12 113 Posted December 15, 2017 Before busting I was 3 to 5 days a week and I knew that I had a couple days relief comming after a monster hit, one that is all you can handle plus a little bit more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henk 1 Posted July 25, 2018 This is my 3 third cycle and i had CH free periods of 6 years, i have the same experience as Jon019, the last one is a Massive hit and and after that the headache remains but not as in a attack, i think they call it shadows here, and the skin on my head on the right side is very sensitive during a cycle, when this sensation is gone the cycle has ended.

TrueNorth 0 Posted July 27, 2018 Shadow and no attack for 3-4 days usually signals me a cycle is ending or ended. Than the brain-fog starts to slowly disappear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My last cycle was like that, one massive hit and I was done. I thought I got my massive hit last week but nope, trying to bust now with Psilocybin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
