I entered a CH episode about 3 weeks ago but haven't had a full-blown CH now for 5 nights in a row (always get mine at night), since I started new meds! I would be even more overjoyed if my shadows would go away. They are always in the same spot as my CH, just like a very-watered down version of the real thing. I'm afraid to come off preventive meds (verapamil, cafergot). Anyone else go through this?? Should I come off my meds (I'd love to get rid of the side-effects), and risk another CH, or stay on them till the shadows go away? Does having shadow headaches mean you have not yet gotten out of the cycle? I'd love anyone's advice!!
Thanks.
