Severe unilateral headaches

[gravy60]

I am 35 years of age. I am suffering severe unilateral headaches in the temporal region of the right side of my head. I had the same headache 10 years ago and 5 years ago. 10 years ago the headaches lasted approx 2 weeks then went away for 5 years. 5 years ago the identical pain returned and passed after 2 weeks again. This week the same pain has returned.I went to the E.R. on Sunday and explained my situation to the attending and was referred to the UPMC headache clinic in Pittsburgh. I called the clinic and was told that I could not be seen until mid April. They then reffered me to general neurology. Upon explaining my situation to the secretary she interrupted me to ask about my insurance info. I do not have insurance. I was then told to bring $796.00 so that I could speak to someone. I am a full time student studying Nuclear Medicine Technology and currently in a clinical rotation at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh and can not afford the initial consultation fee, never mind any actual medical procedures. The pain is severe and shows up a couple times a day. I can not go on in this condition. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Should I drop out of school and fly to a country that will treat me? I am not sure how long that I can withstand this torture.I must do something or I will become another incorrect statistic, for I can not go on like this!

Kapalbhati -(Do it before eating) Push air forcefully out through the nose about once per second. Stomach will itself go in(contract in). The breathing in(through the nose) will happen automatically.

I did not mention that I am a male of sound physical and mental health. I have experienced several brain concussion injuries over the years. My tolerance to pain is high by society standards. I understand that headaches are difficult to diagnose. I also understand that they are not typically unilateral or focal.What type of cranial pain may be focal over a 10 year period? What type of meds may be helpful? Any response will at least incourage some hope!
