should i be using a humidifier with my oxygen and can someone explain the differance between episodic and chronic.
mine come about every three to six months and last about 4 weeks sometimes longer.
also if its not to much since I am still learning whats normal , mine typically start at the left temple then to behind the left eye but some come from the base of my neck to my temple then me eye (those are the ones that drive me to knee's) some build over the day in intensity in burst and some just bust on the scene full bore. some wake me at night (i hate those).
anyway i ramble. just wanted to know if i was a freak or not.

The accepted definition of chronic is going one year without a pain-free break of 30 days or more.

The way your headaches present sounds pretty much par for the course.  Lots of us get the "neck thing" during severe hits. 

You may feel what we call a "cluster lump" near the 7th cervical vertebra, the 5th cervical vertebra, or at the base of your skull--actually swollen nerve ganglia and surrounding tissue.  Ice, or a bag of frozen vegetables applied to the affected area can really help.  Just be sure to remove it gradually, finishing off with a wet cloth--removing it too quickly can cause a nasty rebound.

So no--no weirder than the rest of us, I think.   

Best wishes,

George 

you all are great thanks for the info!!!!!
