I truly can't remember the last time I had a headache. I'm sure it's been at least 20 years or more. DoggyMama gets them any time a weather front comes through it seems like.

I can’t remember a week when I didn’t have at least one headache.

Migraines?

Funny, I seem to get a pain in the ass at least once a week, but no headaches.

No just sinus headaches.

Have you ever been to a neurologist?

No just sinus headaches.

Those are migraines.

Well they're awfully mild if so. She mainly complains about pressure in her sinuses. No light or sound sensitivity, etc., that seems to accompany migraines.

Migraine is a type of headache, not severity. Actual sinus headaches are a symptom of a sinus infection.

Mine ranged from mildly annoying to debilitating. Now I am on a medication that has almost totally eliminated them.

Interesting! I just told DoggyMama about that. It makes sense, since no sinus medication has ever helped. I told her she should talk to her PCP next time she sees him and see about getting migraine medication. Thanks KLB!

My pleasure. I went through exactly the same thing. For years I thought I had sinus headaches.

Mostly sinus and allergy related for me. Started in my late 30’s when I discovered allergies

Are they in the center of your forehead?

Usually side specific depending on levels of congestion. Did do a ct scan last year because I had severe headaches at an in opportune time. Nothing there. Like nothing. Brain appeared to be missing.

You might find the congestion is caused by the headache, not the other way around.

Explain that to my nose and sinuses. It gets worse when pollen hits the air.

 

[HoughMade]

Wow. Quite a run you had.

Right up there with a friend's 80ish grandpa who was sure he was dying one day. Convinced he was having a stroke, or had brain cancer. Went to the ER and they diagnosed him with a headache. He'd NEVER had one before.

I can't relate to either of you guys.

It's kind of ironic. I've spent probably 10+ years defending mass med mal torts dealing with alleged "sham" sinus surgeries.

Anyhoo, if it makes you feel better, I will likely outlive my original equipment right knee.

A little. While I've suffered from sinus/allergy issues my whole life, I do have a really good set of joints.

I mean, I'm almost 50 and don't even make old man noises when I rise from a seated position. So I got that goin for me.

I just had sinus surgery 5 days ago. Still recovering obviously. That is definitely something to avoid if possible.

If it doesn't work out for ya, I know a lawyer.

I would be his doctor's lawyer....
