Already knowing that bi-lateral clusters are generaly seen as not possible or very unlikely, I am wondering just how many people are suffering from bi-lateral clusters. I suffer from bi-lateral but have never had both sides paining at the exact same time. I have had moments where the pain bounced side to side but that has only happened a few times in my life. What I normally suffer from is a very typical cluster on my left side, it is what I would refer to as a common cluster. However, once in a while I'll get a cluster-like pain on my right side. It doesn't seem to follow most of the common traits like my left side clusters. It comes once or twice a year, it lasts for hours though, my most recent one lasted 16 hours. As I don't get them very often on the right side, it seems as though the pain is much greater but that's difficult to judge... I have suffered for 12 years now and there is no question as to whether these are clusters or not, I'm just wondering if anyone out there sometimes goes bi-lateral???
Would love to chat with anyone who does or did...
