Woke up with a feeling like a tight headband around my head, across my forehead. the pain at my temples is bad, more at the left side as usual.
The aura lights on the left side are very bright as they have been for the past month; I have had them on both sides for years permanently which are called painless migraines, but it changed over the past month or two and the left side is worse. I thought the severe eye watering I have was allergy or sinus related, but I found on a site that it can be related to cluster headaches.
Started using the Neti Pot to clear the sinuses to see if that helped the headaches in case it was allergy related; it did help my breathing, but not the headaches.
10am: the tightness has stretched from just my forehead to the back of my head as well. This seems to be a daily pattern. I also am off balance when I get up and for a few minutes. Lightheadedness is a persistent problem as the headaches get worse.
Massages used to help, but lately they are not. I had 5 full blown migraines last week.
more later.
