This comment right here.
Any migraine (or headache) longer than 72 hours is not normal and should be looked at.
I've had 2x migraine periods in my life, one caused by a gum infection. Worst pain in my life Felt just like an ocular light induced migraine until day 4 or 5 when the pain got to ice pick levels of pain. Ended up needing oral surgery and tubes placed inside my mouth / sinus for a few weeks to belp drain pus and stuff.
Check any part of your face / forehead for pain and swelling.
The other was series of minor and micro strokes. I only experienced tingling, migraines and hand pain.
Had no idea! Get bad and frequent migraines checked out!
Fortunately I have been going to a neurologist for a little while, so it's getting checked out. I also called them today and they set me up with a round of prednisone to help knock the current migraine, and that is helping a bit.
Unfortunately, yeah...without medical intervention, my migraines and headaches are pretty needy. Before the medications I am on now, I was typically getting headaches and migraines almost daily, which was absolutely not fun. It's much less prevalent now, with the obvious exception.
