So, I’m fourteen and I am really sensitive to headaches and migraines. I get them easily and I get them bad. I almost get a headache a day. Headaches tend to run in my family and they do seem to be getting worse but my symptoms seem very different than everyone else. For instance my dad gets maybe two headaches a week (tops) and he normally gets them at the end of a stressful and strain-ful day. Normally when his back hurts and similar problems; i tend to get them for considerably less intense reasons. For example I get headaches in crowds, or if there’s alot of noise, or if there’s flashing lights, or if i go too long (a couple hours) without food. Or similar things. I also tend to have different tactics to help my headaches feel better. Most people like a hot shower, some fresh air or a drink of water to help a headache as well as being in a dark, quiet, environment. I normally have a cold shower (not too cold) and fresh air tends to make it worse. Water doesn’t make it worse but it doesn’t help either. Most doctors warn against drinking or eating something with caffeine because they say it will make the said headache worse, but caffeine tends to make mine better and i normally retreat to my room which is dark, but i find that having loud music on makes me feel better than silence.

Now at a party the other day one of my little cousins neighbors and I were talking about my headaches and she gave me this big fancy term saying that I might have it because I seemed to show alot of the symptoms. I said I’d google it, but of course I forgot it. I tried finding it on my own but to no avail, so I’m stumped.

If you’ve been suffering from migraine headaches, you most likely are desperate for some way to at least alleviate the pain you are feeling, if not to stop the migraines from happening all together. There are actually quite a few treatments for people who suffer from migraines.

However, different treatments affect people in different ways. Some people are so desperate for relief that they will take any type of pill or injection if it makes the pain lessen. Other people find that the side effects of some treatments are actually worse than the migraines and their related symptoms. For example, if a medication removes migraine pain, but leaves you so fatigued that you can’t work for a day or more after you take it, you may need to look for a different solution.

The first ever migraine attack I got was when I was 15 years old. I was cycling down a hill in my home town. Without any warning I lost sight in both eyes and had an incredible pain shoot through my head at the same time. It was only good luck and somebody watching over me that stopped me crashing headlong into the traffic in front of me.

There was no warning. The migraine just struck. And this is how it starts for most people who get migraines – it comes right out of the blue. There are a lot of things that can trigger migraine headaches. The almost 30 million people who suffer from migraines in America alone gives you an idea of the size of this problem.

The first step in preventing a migraine headache is to recognize the symptoms that actually cause the migraine to occur.  One method of doing this is to keep a “headache diary” in which you will record the severity of your attack as well as the foods you consumed during the 24 hours prior to each attack.

Some of the other factors to prevent a migraine are to maintain a regular schedule.  This includes eating your meals at the same time each day and keeping consistent sleep hours seven days a week.

I am now living with a constant headache. In August I started getting headaches daily, usually in the afternoon, and they would subside by evening. Went to dr. and got prescription for Prozac (couldnt go on a tricyclic antidepressant cause it gave me delayed gastric emptying a few years ago). Don’t know why she didn’t give me Imitrex. Anyway, now I wake up with a headache, go about my day with a headache, and fall asleep with a headache. It’s throbbing and usually all over, although sometimes I get a piercing pain in the right side of my head that usually lasts no more than 15 mins. I’ve been sleeping a lot lately, 13+ hrs a day. I also usually don’t have much of an appetite. Could this headache/migraine thing be symptoms of a serious problem, or is it just due to the depression/stress? I am going to the dr. tomorrow but want to know if there’s anything specific I should ask her about.

“spots of light, halos, or zigzag patterns are common symptoms prior to the start of Migraine headaches. An ophthalmic migraine is when you have only visual symptoms without a headache.”

I have been diagnosed with the symptoms of ophthalmic migraines, however, my symptoms are permanent and are not episodic. Does anyone know of any similar cases or where I could even start to look to get evaluated by the right people for this?

Life comes to a standstill during a migraine. Everything hurts and every activity takes extra effort. You want your head to stop pounding and for your life to get back to normal. A migraine is a throbbing, debilitating pain that affects hundreds of millions of people around the world each day. Most people instantly take over-the-counter medication, but if the migraine is severe enough, these won’t take care of the pain. This is why some people are trying new migraine treatments to help alleviate the pain and eliminate symptoms.

It wasn’t until the 1980s that researchers were able to put together strong enough drugs to stop migraine pain once it began. However with some of these drugs came serious side effects. Some people simply couldn’t take them because the migraine drugs didn’t mix well with medications for heart disease or other conditions. Another downside was if the drug wasn’t taken during the first hour of a migraine, it wasn’t a lot of help.
