Mine just started one day at age 24 or 25 ( can't remember which) which was 14 years ago.  Was driving down the road, rainy day and bam... got worst pain , and I remember being blinded by the pain.  pulled over etc.  Remember thinking I had a brain tumor or something.  Got myself quickly to a doctor!

Well, there are a lot of things that it could be... (I should know, they've tested me for every one of 'em XD ) there are a few things CT scans and MRI's don't show though.

For me, I had dealt with sinus headaches. intracranial hypertension/ intracranial pressure headaches, migraines, tension, etc...

Well, I kept having what I thought were sinus headaches. I'd just had a nasty infection that we had proof of on an X-ray, I went to a ENT 2 weeks later and was clear by then but my sinuses were still hurting... He said it sounded like I was having cluster headaches. I kinda ignored it, because hey, they checked me for that when I was 9. I figured they would have found it then, right? But they just found complicated migraines so... I convinced myself it was probably just allergies making my sinuses hurt so badly.

The next day, May 28th of this year, I could not ignore it.

I thought I was having a stroke.  I knew it was a possibility because I have small vessel disease of the brain... I knew it felt like I was having a migraine (which I was) but I was also having sharp stabbing pain in my left eye, and kept wanting to kill myself to end it. We wound up at the ER and they did a CT, it came back clear... So they sent me home. My Mom wound up looking up cluster headaches, because I was in too much agony to, and was refusing to come out of my room much. She found I had all of the symptoms and we went to the neurologist from there and they diagnosed it.

I'm not sure how many of what I thought were just mild migraines, were actually shadows in the months before the first 'real' one hit me.

Damn hun I worry about my daughter too.

Me, well I got hit with a bad migraine - take whatever the hell I could to do to sleep for a day and then they would go away, about 2 times a year from about 13 on.  Then at 32, I got a hit at work. It floored me, I thought I was insane.  It last one hour and then I was fine.  Except for looking like I had gone 5 mins in the UFC.  That night I got hit again right as I was getting ready for bed. After the 1st day I could set my watch by them. After a week and thinking that I was dying, I finally went to the doctor.  (That is another mind screw all together to get the actual diagnosis) So I cant say that I build up they just attacked my life without warning.

I hope that she does not have them.  That it is simply the fact that she is growing up and all of the crap that is going on with her body is causing headaches.

Blessed Be,\Tia
