If you are Clusterphobic I'm Cluster Obsessive. I have been finished with my bout since the end of December but I can't stop wondering when the monsters are going to hit again. I'm on the board daily reading anything I can, trying to help someone else suffering, and hoping somebody finds a cure. I don't have any real advice other than ejoy every non CH moment you have, and thank God you aren't chronic. I mean really think about that. I have read a lot of postings from people who haven't had relief in years! I can't imagine. I usually suffer twice a year for about two months each time. I am so thankful for the other 8 months of normal life minus the anxiety of when it will happen again. When I get my HA I start the kitchen timer for 35 minutes(avg HA for me) and try to concentrate on the minutes going by. Watching the clock tick away the torture. I know it will go away I just need that concrete evidence of a clock telling me IT WILL END! Focus on the fact that this cycle will eventually end, and someday, hopefully soon you can sleep again without the demons.
Good luck and remember everyone is pulling for you. Thats what this place is all about.
