Hey everyone, I'm new here and I've been wanting to hear opinions regarding headaches. I'm a 25 yo woman, healthy, I don't smoke or drink. I remember having headaches ever since I was a kid, ever since always taking OTC meds trying to control it. Three years ago I had a CT scan that came back clear and the doctor started treating me for migraine. Ever since I took different kinds of meds but I've never been more than 2/3 days headache free. In the last months I've been having daily headaches, my exception is when I'm not in pain. A new neurologist explained how migraine works and how he hardly thinks my case is migraine related, as my headaches are often in the same spot and they happen everyday. I'm having other symptoms that I don't know if are somehow related, such as lots of heartburn, difficulty in finding some words when I'm speaking, fatique and sleeppiness, rapid hearbeat sometimes even when I'm resting, these are some that I can remember of - overall speaking, I don't feel well all the time, this symptoms are really having a direct impact in my everyday life, specially at work. I'm kind of afraid of what this pain can be. Now I have a MRI and a QEEG Brain Mapping. I'm curios to hear if any of you suffered something along these lines and if you have a diagnosis to share with me.

    Hi,

    You have a complex list of symptoms, some of which I can relate to and that is hemiplegic migraine.  Do you ever get weakness down one side of the body, pins and needles or tingling in hands or arms?

    I am currently having Botox and for me it works really well

      Hi, first of all thanks for your answer. I've read a bit about hemiplegic migraine but I don't think I have those additional symptoms. My doctor was very incisive when he said he didn't think I have a regular migraine so I'm just waiting for these new exams next week and see what happens.
