kephalalgia

[rone]

I get headaches often, of all sorts: sinus headaches, tension headaches, hunger headaches, dehydration headaches, allergic headaches, throbbing headaches, even the rare full-blown migraine.  They occur on the temples, at the forehead, up top, behind the ears, or any combination.  They are sometimes photophobic, phonophobic, rarely both.  Sometimes i'll get a headache if i need to go take a dump.  I don't get caffeine withdrawal headaches anymore, now that i've cut back, but those were insidious.  I've had headaches for as long as i can remember, and Excedrin (or its generic analogue) has been my constant companion (Bufferin when i was a kid; Mom and Dad didn't want me on caffeine); as a result, i'm intimately acquainted with the anti-headache pressure points along the neck, face, and hands.  I hate headaches because they're, at best, distracting, and, at worst, utterly debilitating.  If i had a magical wish, i think i'd definintely banish my headaches.

I've had a sinus headache before, several times as a matter of fact. What I mean is, a headache caused by a sinus infection. It feels pretty much like your face is going to fall off. Not really a headache at all.

That's pretty interesting what you are saying about recent studies in neurology. I'd like to read the source material that you base this statement on. Care to provide a link?
