In '75, I went to my scheduled doctors appt.  I had one of my bad headaches.  The doctor saw I had a typical Migraine Headache!  At that point I would get them aabout every 3 weeks and he suggested stopping coffee.  Honestly that took 10 years off and on! I am still without it now!  I tried the Ergostat and the other new ones that stop it prior to.  They did not work for me.  At present, I get them about every 9 months.  I go to the doctor or the ER for treatment.  Demeral with Phenergan work the best although I don't like the forgetfulness I have later on. The hot needle in the right eye, photophobia, vomiting etc.  I went into the ER knowing that I had another Migraine, with pressure and pain to the neck as well 3 months ago.  The ER doctor said he hasn't heard of a 57 year old woman with a migraine and 'snowed' with meds. He and did all sorts of CT tests.  The next day I had a stat MRI and needed to wait to see my doctor. The ER doctor told me I had a Brain Tumor! Wacko   The next week, my doctor showed me the MRI and said it was negative! Grin   Still I began getting these hanging headaches 3 months later, no need for Tylenol it just hangs accross the eyes.  Frankly I am fearful to even go to the doctor now because of that ER doctor. Now I must research this further.  I'm hopping it is stress or something easy.
