J,
Most people with clusters get a partial Horner's syndrome, associated with ptosis (drooping of the eyelid), miosis (contraction of the pupil), and anhidrosis (lack of sweating). There can often be associated paleness of the affected side as the bodies ability to dilate the capilaries in the skin is decreased. Most people just notice the drooping of the eye (and often people also have tearing). The lack of sweating is not noticed unless the other side IS giving you a contrast.
So, what you have is normal for a person with clusters, if there is such a thing as normal.
