  • 13) I am a 24 year old female, with no previous health problems until about a year ago. I had a headache with a gradual onset and lasted for around a month. When the headache initially started it was a stabbing pain behind my eyes, I was really nauseated, and just couldn't get out of bed for the first 5 days. I went to my doc and he prescribed indomethacin and I still continued to have the headache. It began waking me up the same time every night. I finally went to another doc and he prescribed Zomig and the headache finally went away. However a few months ago the same type of headache occurred again but only lasted for about 5 or 6 days. I have gotten 2 different diagnosis, one saying it was a migraine and the other saying it was a cluster headache. Could you provide me with a little more insight on this? I would like to try to avoid whatever causes these headaches. These are by far the worst headaches I've ever had. Any info. would be greatly appreciated. Lisa.

  • 14) I have been getting a sharp pain on the right side of my temple...it is short and quick but it comes and goes. Sometimes it does not happen for a long period of time and then it comes back again. Do you have any idea what this could be and should I have it checked out? Thank you, Shirley.
