Exclamation What kind of headache am I having?

Hello all! I am a 23 year old female who has been having the most horrible headaches for about 2 years now. I've had headaches my whole life, but the last year or two have been pure hell.

I've been to doctor after doctor looking for an answer that no one seems to have. I am just so tired of being in pain all the time, and I don't know what to do. The most recent doctor I went to is trying to get me in with a Neurologist as soon as possible due to new symptoms.

Symptoms:
ALWAYS start on right side of my head near my temple.
Throbbing, stabbing pain.
I wake up with these headaches and almost always go to sleep with them, also.
My right side of my body gets very weak after these headaches.
Maxalt is the abortive medicine I'm on and it seems to get rid of the headaches 50% of the time.
I get this feeling in my head that feels like a zap or a jolt.
I have a headache at least 15 days a month.
They seem to disappear for a month or two then come back worse than ever.
It's getting to the point where the only thing I want to do is lay in my bed and scream, which isn't an option considering I have a child and school.

I'm getting so desperate. Today I bent over to get my phone out of my purse and it triggered one of these monster. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
