OK, to this point, I don't know if I have ever had one. I've seen how miserable they can make people. But anyway...

Since Friday night, I have had THE WORST headache I have ever had, and it has not gone. Here are some other things that have come with it. Aches all over, most lower body; wanting to throw up a couple times; eyes hurt terribly; and head hurts so bad, it's like I have had my worst hangover, multiplied by 10. No alcohol was ever involved here.

Anyone care to share about migraines, or care to give your self diagnosis? Yes, I realize that I'm probably open for ridicule, by those who want to joke... BUUUT... Anyone care to help?

Yikes... that doesn't sound good. What exactly is the Asian flu?

Note: I was also about 3 inches from being thrown up on in a game Thursday. I'm sure that I inhaled a lot of the pathogens that were in the area.

I was hoping you would think I said it in my arnold voice

In all honesty to your original post, I would say either allergies/head cold or aids

Sounds like you have something other than a migraine--Mine are just real bad headaches that can make you sick at your stomach-bright lights will bother you plus noise. Most of the time if you feel them coming on it helps to get in a dark room and try to get some sleep. If they get real bad throwing up can help-{don't really know why]

LOL, to aids.

I've tried everything. Pain killers, flu medicine, migraine formula medicine, allergy medicine, and a TON of water. Helps a little (some of it) but the headache is yet to go away.

I'd say call the doctor. In the meantime, go shoot up some heroin.

You have a bad headache. You would know if you had a migraine. Simply because of you had a migraine you wouldn't be able to sit and type on a computer. You would be light senstivie, very tired, and perhaps vomiting.

Sounds like an onset to another sickness or stress headache.

I would call a doctor in the morning. Get up to date on your booster shots and in the meantime get plenty of rest.

Blood pressure ok? Both wife and I had a headache Saturday (pressure front in the area?). I have read if you are low or borderline low on magnesium, you are more prone to headaches. Not sure if that has been scientifically proven, but given that it's OTC and if you don't overdo it you won't overdo it (non-medical term for cramping/diarrhea), it might either be worth a try or seeing if your doctor wants to test you for low Mg.

Low or borderline low Mg is underdiagnosed and often overlooked for a number of conditions, and unfortunately, it's not in a whole lot of food in abundance, so if you are low, a supplement could be in order. Good news, it's cheap and readily available. Good luck.

The4ringz is correct a migraine ....you would not be able to look at a computer screen or type.
I suffer from migraine

Not cluster headache because it has not gone away and come back the next day (same time) and those last for three day in a row.

Food poisoning ………. or ………Malaria …… or …….. Erectile dysfunction

All three have those symptoms so………… rule out Malaria

As some other people have said, you don't have a migraine. But the easiest way to avoid them is to take fish oil capsules. Fish oil is good for you for other reasons, too.

Gave me two shots and some vicodin. Could be from anything, but he said it was probably triggered by exertion.
