Is there any who will help me with a definition of shadows using your own words to describe it, do you have pain during this phase? symptoms? I think this phase has not been studied enough, maybe it can help us to get a better picture of what is going on inside our head during a CH.
Best regards. Bluebrain

I consider the meaning of a shadow as having some pain (and/or other symptoms) but it's not a full blown cluster. A shadow for me is less than a KIP 5 or so.

What unsolved said.
For me, it's a low-grade discomfort in my temple that's fairly constant once my cycle is truly underway. Sometimes it ramps up to a kip 4-5, but usually it's in the range of a 2-3. The shadows are the last thing to disappear, even after my preventatives are working.

Shadows for me are the uncomfortable feeling in my stomach of "oh sh%$ here it comes" along with a clawing sensation in my head, kip2-4, that never really goes anywhere. I'll sometimes get the eye droop and the runny nose. Not like a hang over headache, or a head cold head ache, more of a cluster headache without the real pain.

I agree. The center of my cycle has continuous shadows floating in and out--the feeling that one's coming, and some of the symptoms, but only a little pain, kip 2 or 3, and then gone. That and constantly feeling as if I've been poisoned for about two weeks. I don't know any better way to describe it--as if I've been poisoned. Could be that's sleep deprivation, though...

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

I'll go to the Kip3-4 level for shadows. Five and above is a full blown CH in my book.

Yep, I believe I am currently at the peak or downfall of a cycle as I am starting to experience shadows more than actual full blown 5 or above attacks. Where before (like for the past 2 months or so) they were hellish\burning\ unbearable attacks, with severe runny nose and eye droop, lasting 20 minutes or more, they have now changed to a stabbing/throbbing, but somewhat tolerable, pain; and only lasting about 5-10 minutes at a time. Also becoming more frequent and not on schedule as they were before these past few days. I define this as shadows.
