Welcome..............

I think the recent statistics are that it's about 62% right-sided cluster sufferers to 38% left sided. As about 10% of people in the UK are left-handed I can only assume it's a coincidence.

Welcome to the board - Filbert.

We have many times over the years had posters post if they are left or right handed and which side their cluster ha is on. If you do a search you should find plenty of info. Plus I think DJ has it included in the cluster survey which is located on the button to the left. From what I have seen it is coincidental.

right handed and right sided only for first 12 years
then
chronic phase and either side for last 4 years. Right sided attacks are worse.

Welcome!

I have (usually) 2 cycles a year, 4-6 weeks a cycle.

I'm a lefty. Always left eye except one Kip 7 which freaked the shit out of me by hitting the other one. Didn't know where I was!

Left handed. Double cycled. (Is this normal???)

Spring time time right side. Fall left side.
