Hi Laurence,
Since you have described the pain on your non cluster side
as being a headache and not a cluster we might be able to call
it a migraine.
I have seen cluster people describe their cycles as starting
and ending with migraines. Like bookends, the migraines mark
the beginning and the end of the cycle.
The non cluster headpain may be from the irregular sleep pattern
as a result of the clusters or it may be from going off the Prednisone.
The latest headache expert on the radio suggested any change in
sleep pattern can cause a headache..even the one after much beer
drinking, he says, is more a result of change in sleep pattern than
the beer. I may beg to differ with him on that opinion, but it
wouldn't be worth the research..
Here's hoping that your 'headache' is a bookend.
Painfree days a'head to all,
Brian W
