I am a med Phobic......SOMETIMES I can take Motrin and it works (after a hour or more) and other time it takes a little of the edge off. I looked this up, and I would have to say that my pain level does seem lower than some......so the pain dont seem as intense as many of yours, BUT the pattern thing and the timing of them is amazingly like me and the biggest thing is how I fidget, everyone says to me to go lay down! NO WAY!!!!! That never made sense to me til now. I sit here now and I feel this coming on......I THOUGHT I was going to have a GOOD day, since it was this late in the afternoon without it hitting me, but guess I was wrong ..... I have 4 kids and this is SO getting in the way of things!!!!! Thanks everyone for responding!

Hello I am new here! I have a history of headaches and migraines. In the past 13 years I have had 3 MRIs and I think 2 CT scans, all have been normal. About 10 yrs ago I had one of my MRIs cause I had a headache (bad) that would not go away, I would get a one here and there but went on for a month or longer. Then about about 7 years ago and I had was I thought was a migraine for like almost 2 weeks straight!!!!!! So that was the last time I remember it being really bad and long lasting .......til now. Its different this time, Its mainly all my LEFT side. Pain is from eye to the back of the head into my upper neck! My ear hurts so deep inside it crazy!!!! Even when I swallow on that side at times. I seem to get woken up by my neck,,,,,,,starts in my neck or eye.....same side. I can get this once a day or 2-3 times a day. I WAS thinking my neck was strained and that was causing this. I started reading online cause its been 3 weeks now and I have only had like 3-5 days of no pain. They do come on pretty fast, and I have had some come on and be gone be 30 minutes all by themselves! Always wondered why, Well it sounds like I have a LOT of the symptoms of CHs. Like tonight it started coming on and it lasted for like 2 hours at the most. Sometimes the Pain in OMG!!!! And some is not AS bad, but still bad. A few times I cant even touch my face or hair, it hurts too bad!!!! It is like a DEEP inner burning hurt....like something you cannot GET TO. I cant lay down, seems to get worse! I DO better moving, and TRYING to stay busy! I whin, whimper, rock in bed ....I want to just CRY LOUD, but it hurts to bad to do that! Does this sound like CH??? My history is there and I have ALREADY been to my doc.......I will be going back again next week if its still here (not sure why as i HATE meds) Just wanted to see how this feels for you guys.......Thanks so much! I know you cannot tell me if I have it or not, but hearing what you have to say could tell me a lot!
