Ah headaches... good times.

I have what I've been told is a tension headache. It's a bilateral global throb/ache that never really ceases. If I experience a triggering event, that Mud Headache Mark described is spot on... feels like I've dropped 30 IQ points (I didn't have that many to start with!!).

If I am recovering from a triggering event (i.e. over-stimulation), I get unilateral migraines that typically occur in either temple or my forehead, though I get them on the top of my head as well. These are show-stoppers, and require Tylenol 3s. Any activity all during this period is very difficult. It seems like the last few months I've been too active and have these everyday.

In thinking about it, I don't remember what it's like to not have a headache.
