Do cluster headaches always come back?

[Dlions20]

This past august was my first year and they lasted me all the way until November.

I’ve had some weird tingling sensations the last few weeks and The anxiety is starting to ramp up that this may be coming back over the next few months. Always might be the wrong word, but is it most likely going to coming back at some point?

If they didn't comeback we wouldnt be here.

Dlions20,

Yea, sorry to say, but they do come back.  They can change pattern, get longer, shorter, more frequent, less frequent etc.  Some of us have gone back and forth from episodic to chronic or chronic to episodic. 

PFW,

Hi Dlions20,

Occasionally we are seeing people here in their 70s asking on how to treat their first CH cycle after a remission of sometimes 20-30 years

So I would say, never consider this thing as "done" or you can be in for a nasty surprise later on. And when you are pain-free, always consider it as a remission and enjoy that time :)

Sadly, I thought mine were done.  Eight years without them and the BAM...so sad.
