End of cycle question

Does it just end? I'm now convinced (and so is my GP) that this cycle began in October 2005 and has been very consistent since then. Well, until sometime this past week. I've only 3 HA's that I can really speak of in the last 6 days. Otherwise, I've been painfree. So, I'm wondering, when a cycle ends, do you just wake up one morning with the sun shining, the birds chirping, you're feeling great and life is what it should be? Well, until the next cycle comes along and hits you like a wet rag. Can it just end as abruptly as it begins?
Lord, I hope so. I'm really hoping this isn't just a trick the Beast is playing on me. . . . .

It can either end pretty abruptly, or it can fade away. I don't think there are any hard and fast "rules" about it. Personally, mine get farther and farther apart and become less and less intense until they disappear. But others have them end quite suddenly.
Regards,

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 can't believe that I have to bang my
Head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more
Space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.

Have had both-in the beginning my cycles would end as abruptly as they started...after a few years they ended with a whimper (hits less intense, spaced further apart, finally stopping after about three weeks)-this cycle hasn't ended.
I hope this is the end of the cycle for you-enjoy the PF time and don't let anxiety or worry take it away from you!
Best wishes for PFDAN

My experience was a reversal of the signs noted in this article. I'd start to notice a "clearing" (which is quite beyond description) in my head which I came to understand as a cycle ending.
Curr Pain Headache Rep. 2001 Feb;5(1):55-9.
Premonitory symptoms in cluster headache.
Raimondi E.
Catedra de Neurologia, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, 9 de Julio 3826, Rosario 2002 PKP, Argentina. raimondi@cablenet.com.ar
Cluster headache is one of the most excruciating headaches affecting human beings--especially the male sex. Most of the cluster headache cases are of episodic nature, with active cluster periods lasting generally between a few weeks and 2 or 3 months. A still undetermined percentage of patients report nonpainful sensations preceding the onset of the pain attack for a variable period of time. If occurring only a few minutes or a few hours before the onset of pain, such symptoms are called prodromal. When occurring for several days, weeks, or months before the pain, they are termed premonitory symptoms. The author believes that premonitory symptoms have not been properly diagnosed and emphasizes the need to investigate their presence, because by knowing them advances can be made in the understanding of the physiopathology of this particular cephalalgia. Furthermore, it can also allow the physician to be ahead, by giving preventive treatment and stopping or diminishing the intensity and duration of the pain attacks.
