Year Condition Began: 2015


I was hit with severe headaches in July 2015. Not knowing what it was I had an MRI and Cat Scans to look for aneurisms, tumors etc. Nothing was found. OTC drugs was pretty useless and I simply laid down when it hit me. it last less than a month and with time I thought less and less of it.

Now, in July 2018 i was hit again. I get them on my right side and typically around 9:30 PM and also occassionaly at other times. They last mostly 30-90 minutes, sometimes they taper off and linger around longer.. My pain has not reached levels described to completely incapacitate you, they are however very uncomfortable and my right eye tears and the pain shoots down to my jaw, neck and even top of the shoulder.

I just got Sumatriptan to try from my doctor and have not taken any yet.

So far my triggers appears to be alcohol and exertion (running).
