not sure i know what you are referring to.

do you mean when someone is out of cycle and gets a random isolated attack?

If so, I don't believe there is a difference. I think CH as a condition exists at all times, but generally manifests at certain times.

I'm guessing that you may be fairly new to CH--the reason I say so is that isolated attacks used to happen to me when I was out-of-cycle early on. After they settled into well-defined cycles, spontaneous, out-of-cycle hits almost never happened, and still do not.

We are all individuals, though, and I hesitate to say that that might be the pattern you can expect. My personal beast, although he's a foul companion, has always been predictable.

Best,

George

I had my first cycle at 17, I am now 45. My cycles when they come last 3 months, I have in the past gone 14 years ish with out a full blown cycle attack and I have gone three months .

I have just finished a cycle. Through out all these years I have had a lot of isolated CH attacks of one or two then nothing for ages. But they still come after all these years.

My pattern of attacks is that there is no pattern, it does what it wants to when it wants to.

Everyone is different
