I get those kinds of headaches, I get them on the top of my head. I have had all kinds of awful headaches and didn't have a clue on way I was getting them and pain pills didn't work. It wasn't until after my DX of MCS and getting rid of the chemicals that my headaches got better. But I would have headaches that would last 2-6 months (yes, MONTHS) at a time and than I would only be headache free a day at most.
