Poll question: What kind of headaches do you get most often?

I get those damn cluster headaches all of the time. It's usually in the back of my head... Pound, Pound, Pound, Uuuuuggh. :-( Makes me want to drink so I can have a hangover headache instead.

1. Sinus headaches.
And other then sinus, I'd say Hangover.

7. I suspect sinus headaches are more common than people realize
They can often feel like other types of headaches, even migraines. They can also be caused by stomach distress. I sometimes feel them as toothaches, almost like abscesses, and go to the dentist who tells me it's just a sinus headache.

5. I used to have a migraine once every 1-2 months
I had been having them since high school. They would start with a zig-zag visual disturbance. Once that disappeared, the headache started. I couldn't do anything when I had the headache except lie on the floor in cool, dark room. Over the years, I had taken caffergot and later sumatriptan. In august of 2001, I took a homeopathic remedy for a neck problem and I haven't had a migraine since.

8. BOTOX has completely cured me of chronic tension and migraine
type headaches.

Got it for a furrow in my forehead, and the side affect of no more headaches ALONE is worth the $280 every couple months. I haven't been this pain free for this long since I was a little kid.

6. Sinus and at the back of the head
If given the choice between treating a broken arm and the headache first, I would tell my caregiver to treat the headache.
