A quick question, Is there a grand finally, yesterday I had about 8-10 pretty bad CH's It seemed like they were comming every hour or two between noon and midnight Normally I would only get 1 or 2 in a day. I thought I was going to die. finally I took a 50mg imitrex and went to bed. I slept all night w/ no HA's and woke up about 7 this morning, It's now about 12noon and I feel great, no shadows, and I would have expected at least one by this time. usually I will get one about 9am and another about 4pm. then bring on the night.
Does anyone know, maybe I'm done for this year. wishful thinking or what?

There is far too much variation between us to make predictions. You may also find that your cycles are not rigid over a long period.
Trying to predict works to create what is called in the trade, "anticipatory anxiety": looking into the future, trying to see a "sign" of an approaching attack, worrying about how bad it will be, and so on, only leads to suffering (even when you are not in pain).
If you have found ways of coping with an attack--then that is about all you can do. Use your techniques when it hits, do you best to live life when it's over.

Like Bob says. Pretty hard to pin down. Mine would be gone one day and finally for 12 years so far. It wouldn't surprise me if I had one or two fewer a day near the end of the cycles. I can't say for sure though.

I've been lookinking at and not "getting" the "title" of yer post for days! Wondering what a "grand" was?...just now I realized it was the word "finally" (finale) that was throwing me. I feel like Oscar in The Odd Couple...."It took me a half hour to figure out FU meant Felix Unger.".......Do not construe this as a citation from yhe "spelling police"...I just get a kick outa these black squiggles sometimes.
ANYWAY...I applaud Bob J's reply. Succinct. Right on. I can't add anything to it....butt I'm going to.
What you present is one of those questions that deals with the "psychology" of CH. It is one of the aspects of this board which keeps me intrigued.
The personal nature of the polls, chats, vents etc... ,while not adding to the "medical, clinical" database about CH, serve a greater purpose. COPING.
They serve as the much needed counterpoint to that desperately lonely suicidal dark moment known only to a CHer as "the middle of a 10". (It gives me the willys just to type the words.) COPING!
I sit here, alone, butt neked, noone else up yet, spending these precious personal moments at this damn CH message board. I give. I take. I leave plenty alone. It consumes a part of me. A part that needs consuming...needs transforming. The part of me that knows that I have CH and makes me feel like an unarmed man walking in a bad neighborhood past endless doorways in which lurk some seriously mean psycopathic sons a bitches.
"In the middle of a 10" and "waiting for a 10" is no way to live. This "general forum" at this CH.com board is like a playground on the grounds of a facility for abused children. I can feel the wind in my hair as I go down the slide or spin madly on the merry-go-round or just take a walk in the sunshine for a time that refreshes my soul and enlivens my spirit.
I can also pretend.
Soooo ...my answer to you is...YES! There is a grand finale and you have had yers! Yer cycle is over and may never come back.
Love

Hang in there!! They WILL end. Mine climax twice, once in the middle and then switch sides and climax on the other side, then they taper off and i'm home free for about 9 months.
Sending you good vibes and wishes for PFDAN.
