I’ve become complacent with these headaches. I’ve come to accept that I get them and deal with it. My greastest fear is that one time it could be something else because I had a friend that had a headache most of the day and he just couldn’t get rid of it. He had his daughter bring him to the hospital and it turned out to be an aneurysm.

I was diagnosed at about 30 when I realized my headaches were not normal. It all made sense then. They happen to run in the family: mom, sister, cousin. Routines like strict mealtimes and strict exercise times helped lessen the frequency. I got them down to about 1/month and got injured. Now they are more frequent and intense. Doing 4-5/month and then 2-3 weeks of none.

I really like the day after. There is nothing like a really bad one and finally getting to sleep. Waking up 2-3 hours later and feeling like I slept for 10! I am so relaxed and full of energy!
