What Type of Headache Do You Have?

[marileew]

If you have already seen a doctor and received a diagnosis, what diagnosis did you receive? What type of headache is currently your primary concern?

I was diagnosed with Intracktable Migraines.....whatever that is....I consider it a constant daily migraine that have different levels of intensity depending on the day sometimes depending on the hour.

I have status migrainous which is a migraine that lasts for 72 hours or more. Mine has lasted for over 8 years. I then get ice pick headaches on top of the constant migraine. I also have muscle tension headaches, and then chemical/food induced migraines on top of the status migrainous.

fun, no?

I also have daily/chronic migraines that have been since youth.  They trigger with so many things it's hard to keep track, but auras are present usually.  Got a combo going with seizures, no worries -petit mal only and meds keep in check. One question for everybody...I get not a terrible nosebleed, but blood present in the nostril to the side where the migraine will get worse.  Does anybody else?

I do sometimes get a nosebleed with my migraines, again, usually on the side that's worse.

We think Migraines follow seizures, but this has not always been the case.  When I was younger it was near my cycle.

Serenity-- never had nose bleeds, keep us posted on that.  Check out this post.......http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Migraines--Headaches/Headache-Nose-Bleeds/show/305092
