How often do you get headache?

I get them from time to time.
Mainly when I skip or delay a meal. I get a slight headache which i know which will get worse. If I do not then eat for an even longer period I'll then lose my appetite and then feel sick, then the headache gets much worse.

Only get bad headaches now 2-3 year.

I have a headache at least once a day. I also suffer from severe migraines which completely wipe me out for upto a week.

Thankfully I can tell when I'm going to get one and can usually get home before the 'attack' happens. Its starts will pins and needles in my fingers, then my hand. I then get numb lips and cheeks, then my tongue goes numb. I can't focus properly and can be barely string a coherent sentence together. I then usually spend about 4 hours in the bathroom pretty much throwing up constantly - not even water will stay down! The pain is pretty savage. I eventually stop throwing up and can just about crawl into bed. I'll have a dull headache for about 10days before I'm okay again.

I have some medication that I'm supposed to take when I feel a migraine coming on which is supposed to either reduce or increase (I forget which) the supply of blood to my head/brain, but it doesn't work.

The g/f keeps on at me to go for an MRI but to be honest if it was anything serious I'd have probably found out by now, one way or the other.

I'm so glad I only get them 3-4 times a year and have been at home when they've happend.

That sounds awful man. As someone else said, I do sympathise with people that suffer from headaches / migraines.
 
Cant remember the last time I had a Headache, it was probably last year when I was sick with cold/flu.
 
Considering I am suffering from Sinusitis, tonsillitis and conjunctivitis ... I've had a pressure headache for about 2 weeks now.

Normally I get them when I mismanage my caffeine supply.
 
I have one now :(

Usually happens when I have a lack of sleep + food, which is exactly what I have right now..feeling so dead..

<--- perma banned from caffeine, alcohol, and driving.

I simply tried a nice mug of cocoa not too long ago, I thought I could make a nice cocoa with some decaffe coffee mixed in for yumminess. That turned out to be a huge mistake and it just put me in bed for the rest of the day.

A guy I work with suffers from cluster headaches, also known as "suicide headaches" because the pain is so intense people want to die. Many women apparently say they are far worse than childbirth.

Sounds absolutely awful, and he disappears for over a week sometimes. No known cure or even relief from it.

ditto, usually from spending too many hours on this damned lappy combined with lack of sleep and too much coffee (which is a diuretic and thus you need to keep water intake up)

....gonna go down to grab some wine and blur the vision now :D
 
Only get them if I haven't drank enough water. Couple of pints and it goes away fairly quick. Unless I'm ill but that doesn't happen that often.
 
I used to get headaches about once a week. Very occasionally (about every 2-3 months) I get a migraine which are blooming awful.

At the moment though I seem to be getting 3-4 a week. I wonder if because I've got a week off, I've been on my laptop more than usual. Or maybe I don't drink enough water. I've had my eyes checked but they're A-OK.
