I have been cluster free for two weeks now (except for a week moment when I had a beer this week). The prednisone taper is over and now I'm only on 480mg of Verapamil. The last two days, I have had a "migraine" on the OTHER side of my head that NOTHING will touch. Has anyone experienced this when the clusters are over? I remember two years ago when my last cluster cycle was ending, I had a two day "migraine". I say "migraine" because it's not a cluster and it's really painful and lasts all day!! At that time, I attributed it to coming off the prednisone too quickly. This time I tapered three times as long to prevent this. I hope and pray this is the last for a few years. My job, my family, my friends and my patience suffers everytime I have a cycle. Maybe by next cycle, there will be a cure!!!!!
