Hey Bill...
I don't consider myself an expert on the subject of 'shadows', but I think the general concensus of the club would be that 'shadows' are best described as that persistent feeling that the cluster has not gone away, entirely, or, that it is hovering around, waiting to attack again.
Shadows, for me at least, frequently last for hours after a full-blown episode, and sometimes it is followed by another cluster and sometimes it isn't. On the other hand, sometimes there is no 'shadow' after an episode.
During the time the 'shadow' lurks, one generally has a feeling of exhaustion (although that may simply be the after effects of the cluster which preceded the shadow).
I hope this helps.
M
