Blind Clusters?

???I was just wondering if anybody has experienced what seems to me to be blind clusters. After going through my usual 2 month cluster session, they stopped as abruptly as they started 3 weeks ago to be exact, however now I find that at certain times, like when i have a glass of red wine I am getting all the feelings of the cluster except there is no pain. I can feel that low throbbing on the left side just above and behind my eye, my left sinus has closed right up and when I look in the mirror my eye is swollen and tearing. It is very strange!

That sounds like a light shaddow to me. If that is all it is, don't worry about it! You might want to bring it up to your doctor just to make sure. I am NOT a doctor.
One thing we clusterheads KNOW how to do is bug our docs!
Glad you are out of your cycle!

That sounds like what i get about 1 week before my 1st Ch of the season. It also sounds like what i got 1 week after starting my Prednisone and Verapamil cocktail. Its kind of like the missile without the nuclear warhead!
PFDAN, patrick

I agree with Chuck, sounds like a shadow. Try not to worry about it.

Doesn't sound like a shadow to me.
I forget the medical terminology but there are cases of people having all the symptoms but no pain.
A shadow ussually doesn't include ALL of the symptoms.
Blind CH is a good referance but there is a medical term for it also.
The wine is abviously causing your system to send yo7u some warnings. Take the hint!

Ah yes, the 'Painless CH'... got that for about 5 months after my 13 month cycle... then went back into fullblown cycle...
I would get all the other regular CH symptoms at my normal CH times except for the pain. Was a real mindfuck but sure beats the pain. Those were the days...
