2. It depends on if it's allergy season or not.
During allergy season, I get tons of headaches. If I haven't got enough sleep, I get them, too.

I really dislike headaches - mine aren't disabling usually, but distracting enough so that I can't get much done.

3. I don't get them often, but I swear by Excedrin.
It is the only thing that works for me. Kills headaches DEAD.

5. I don't get headaches, ever
seriously. I have no idea why. :shrug:

Don't worry, I've got my share of problems. Headaches aren't one of them.

6. migraines. generally 8-12/month, but i've had one for a month and a half
imitrex usually does a pretty good job, but every so often my body gets used to it and nothing works. usually when this happens, i get about 3 months of nearly non-stop migraine.

sucks, bigtime.

14. yes, i've tried nearly everything.
feverfew is one of many supposed migraine preventatives that have absolutely no effect on me.

i am currently taking petadolex, coq10, and singulair. the singulair in particular, and i suspect, the petadolex as well, have both helped considerably (the last month and a half aside....)

at least the severity is not as bad as my previous lengthy episodes.

7. I rarely get them and if I do it either has to do with the fact that I'm
sick or slightly dehydrated. I'm one of the lucky ones I guess.

8. Only when I'm taking a 3" diameter, mummified, rock-hard dump.

I had one about a month ago, and I swear to God, I thought I needed to go to the hospital. I had rectal bleeding for about a week afterwards.

You all know what I'm talking about, right?? The kind where you push so hard, you temporarily lose your vision??

10. I Only Get Headaches on Those Rare Occasions
when I sleep late into the morning and I begin suffering from caffeine withdrawal. After I get down a couple cups, I'm good as new!

13. Lots of headaches
migraines. Started taking topomax and anti seizure drug, and that really really helps. It was not that long approved for treatment/prevention of migraine.
