First let me begin by apologizing. I'm long-winded.
I've had constant headahces for as long as I can remember. Meaning, I can remember having headaches all the time since I was 10. I'm 29 now.
My migraines didn't begin until I was 18. At first, I thought it was because of my teeth (yeah, lesson learned the hard way, got that fixed two years ago). However, even after getting em all pulled, they still exist. In fact, they're hit a new low. Rather than the joys of dizziness, disorientation (getting lost in the house), throwing up, sensitivity to light and sound (especially light), and or passing out happening occasionally I now have these hit me all the time. 4-6 times a week.
I also have a constant ringing of the ears. That too has been with me since I was 18. The good thing about this ringing is that about 20 mins before a migraine hits, the tone in my head and ears changes to a dull sound. That's my only warning to a full blown migraine.
Sometimes my migraines are focussed on my right side, sometimes my left. However, as of the last year it's primarily been focussed square dead in the middle or front. Either way doesn't matter, it's the pain that I can't stand.
I've tried re-arranging my sleep schedule, i've tried changing my diet, nothing's working. I'm done with trying to sleep at night, that makes things worse. (haven't slept at night on a regular basis since I was in school - it's easier and a lot more fulfilling to sleep during the day for me - that and I tend to get insomnia from sleeping at night)
i've tried aleve, tylenol and now i'm on excedrin for migraines. 2, 3, and 4 doesn't do jack diddly. Trust me, you get to the point where you want your head to explode and you get desperate. Writhing around in the darkness, crying for relief...Yeah, it get's bad. They usually run for between 30 mins to 6 hours at a time. Sometimes I get a nice little reprieve and then it picks up again, right where it left off in the pain department. No warning the second and third go arounds.
I wouldn't call my constant 24/7 hour headaches migraines, but they're bad enough to have my eyes welling up all the time.
Well, i've done enough rambling. If anyone can shed some insight or offer advice, i'd be most grateful. Thank you.
