How often do you get headaches?

I used to get them all the time, but now I usually only get them if I have hangovers.

 

It would be easier to say that I rarely don't have a headache.

 

i have headaches atleast 3 or 4 times a week, usually in a range from 5-6, or the random ones that are 10's that vary in intensity for days and i can't even get up they hurt so badly.

 

at school, i had really bad migraines. i had to take Imitrex to sort them out. it worked well, but i was totally useless if i took the medication. classes or practice were out of the question.

when i figured out what my triggers were, i was able to avoid them for the most part and slowly back off the medication i needed. It sucked at school because one of my main triggers was the type of lighting they were using - sensory overload.

 

after seizures, 10.

other headaches don't matter, so I don't really pay attention to them

and there are grades of migraine

there is your basic pedestrian migraine

then there are cluster migraines.

if regular migraines are a 10 on your scale, cluster migraines are probably about a 17, post seizure migraines, about a 12-13.

I am very happy I don't have cluster migraines.

 

I'm glad I don't have those kinds of migraines, Dave, but I also wish I didn't have mine, either.

Headaches run in my family, my mom had them every day at my age too...I hope it stops like hers did. I imagine they are hormone related. Come and get me, menopause!

 

not a lot, i guess im lucky. even when im hungover, my head feels "heavy" but not headachey
