Migraine Diary

Headaches?
For nearly 2 years I’ve been getting severe headaches. (Im 15), in the beginning, the doctor said it was allergies and gave me Claritin. Worked / s great. After a couple of months later, he developed a different type of headache. I call them migraines, but not so bad. Only the noise hurts your head, not light. But sometimes I have to put to sleep to make it go away. They come in groups. Like every couple of months we will have a bad headache every two days for a week or two, then leave. I have lots of those small, probably not 5 days a week. I tried to make a headache diary to show my doctor, but always stop just because I can not figure to put all my headaches or simply the bad (I get a headache every day or day by most of the time) do not think the food triggers, and has nothing to do with my period. What should I do?
Keep a journal of pain head and put all their headaches in it. Not only had one, but also what has been doing and where you’ve been. I have a lot of triggers migraine. Some are food and some are environmental. Sometimes I eat a small amount of trigger foods and not get a migraine, so it does not exclude food until they do some of the challenges of food. For me it was a bit easier to do the challenges because I was getting migraines every day for four years until I have everything planned. Since go through periods of no headache, you have to keep a journal very good. Try * not * take over the pain counter. Sometimes if you take a lot, can have rebound headaches. I do not take pain medication of any kind … never. Just give me too many problems. Consider their environment. I can stand a little perfume occasionally, but if I am exposed for several days in a row, I get very bad headache, if not a migraine attack.
