Hello, I am a 28 yr old female, and I've been getting headaches for the past few months. I started getting them in January. I've never had headaches before. It just started one day, around 11am, a throbbing, sharp pain in my left temple, sort of behind the eye, lasted for about 15 min, and went away, and then came again about 2 hrs later, again about 15 min, went away, another few hours, again, etc. This lasted for about a week before I went to my doctor. He checked for a couple of things (sinus, "something serious" which he ruled out after feeling for an artery on the left temple and asking if it hurt, blood pressure) and then referred me to a neurologist specializing in headaches. I went to him and he was pretty thorough with questioning. He had me get an MRI and an MRA, both came back fine. He gave me a prescription for a preventative but I never took it because I wanted to wait a week and see if they would go away first. My dad told me to get my eyes checked, which I had never really done, because I thought I had perfect vision. I went and it turned out I had a slight astygmatism, so I got glasses. I started wearing them every day, even though I didn't have to, and a little less than a week later the headaches went away! I couldn't believe it, I was so happy. About a month and a half or two months has gone by, and the headaches just came back randomly :( They are also a little more intense this time around, and more frequent. I wake up with one (still left side, throbbing), it goes away after 15 min, and then I get one about every 2 to 3 hours all day until I go to bed. It's really irritating. I've read up on cluster headaches and it seems like a match, but I find it odd that the neurologist didn't mention them, and it also seems like people who suffer from them have much worse pain. Mine is more annoying, irritating, not exactly debilitating. Aspirin, Advil, Tylenol, etc do nothing because they don't kick in fast enough, the headache goes away as suddenly as it appears. I'm going to a chiropractor soon to see if an x-ray shows anything, or if an adjustment helps. I just feel like I'm running out of options and wish someone could say "you definitely have this, and this is what you need to do." If someone could respond with some advice I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
