I have gotten CH at other times, but very rarely.
I got the first cluster in college before I was married, very scary. I went to an optometrist thinking perhaps it was eye strain. I didn't get another until after my first baby. Its been like clockwork with the babies. Only about 4 other times have I gotten CH. I was actually just diagnosed a couple of weeks ago because I had a bad episode and its been 2 1/2 years since I had a baby. I was given Imitrex for the first time and only have had to use it once but it really helped!! I've never tried oxygen but wish I had known about it. Congratulations on your 4th. That is wonderful. The children are worth the sacrifice.
