Generally, CH is a lifelong problem. Potential outcomes include the following:
Recurrent attacks
Prolonged remissions
Possibility of transformation of an episodic cluster to a chronic cluster and vice versa
About 80% of patients with episodic CH maintain the episodic form of the disorder. In 4-13%, episodic CH eventually transforms into chronic CH. Intermediate (mixed) forms may also develop. Prolonged, spontaneous remissions occur in as many as 12% of patients, particularly in those with episodic CH. Chronic CH is more relentless and may persist in this form in as many as 55% of cases. Less frequently, chronic CH may remit into an episodic form

This is a chronic condition. Cluster headaches can go into remission for months or years in some cases.

I have gone a year or two without any headaches.
But, for the most part, I can count on them like holiday visits from out of state in in-laws. I suspect and expect to have these until I die

cluster headaches can be episodic or chronic.
Cluster headaches can get worse, and they can get better! Or may even go away completely

Life with Clusters is difficult, there is no denying that.
Cluster headaches can develop in anyone at any age, there is no known cause. These can be episodic and occur in short cycles or can be chronic, cluster headaches can come and go, and return, they can also go and never return.
There is no way of knowing how you will be affected by cluster headaches and this can change over time.

I have heard stories of people who suffered their whole lives from cluster headaches that just miraculously start that stop. I’m still praying for my miracle
