I Have Migraines Almost Daily - Cluster, Ocular & Basic Migraine. Doctor Thinks It Is Rebound Headaches. How Do I Know The Difference?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have had migraines since I was 5 years old. My Mom always thought they were sinus headaches. They are mostly on the right side. If I get one on the left, it will last a few days, then move to the right. We moved and current doctor just does not get it.

My migraines change from the left side to the right side. They migrate. And there is no rhyme or reason for it. At none that I've figured out.

Are They Still Migraines If You Don't Have The Usual Symptoms?
A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been told my chronic headaches aren't actually migraines because they don't follow the normal patterns. First, they are whole head every day, all day pain, not just centered in one area of the head. Also, I don't have any of the triggers or reactions like most people - no light sensitivity, no nausea, no auras, nothing. Just constant, steady pain. Does anybody else have this same problem?
