Intense Headaches
38% Normal
4 Comments

Ever since I was young, about 12 years old. I had these weird head aches. They never really ached, or hurt in any way, but it was weird how they would always happen. It felt like the back of my brain was shaking, and my vision would shake along with it. I'm an 18 year old girl, and I have never done drugs, and can't tolerate alcohol enough to be a drinker, so I never drink. It usually happens when I don't have enough sleep. I can usually pin point where exactly I feel my head shake, and only once have done it on command. It is not a problem, it just gets annoying when it happens. I guess you could say its like your muscles twitching on your hand, you can't help it, it just happens.

My question is:
Has anyone else had this problem? And don't be a dick about it, because some of you leave some real dicky comments to some needy people who need real answers.
Do you think it's normal?

If you really want serious advise, you need to see a serious professional. I visit this site for entertainment, and I bet most other people do as well. I sure wouldn't bet my life on the advise that's likely to be found here.

you should probably see a neurologist. it sounds a bit like migraines or possibly some very minor form of epilepsy (there are some studies to suggest a correlation between the 2). and don't worry when i say epilepsy. many people have some sort of epileptic episode, and very few of them actually result in any sort of physical shaking, grand-mal type of seizure. but it could very well be anything, so go see a specialist and have an MRI or at least an EEG or a CAT scan or something.

Does it coincide with your periods? I ask this for 2 reasons: [1]It began at 12 y/o. [2] I had a g/f who had migraines, and her life [our lives] was miserable until I suggested a possible 'cure' She thought I was just horny, but I just wanted to make her feel better. She _really_ felt better. We had a standing joke - I'd walk in the door, and she would greet me with a sly smile, and say, "I have a headache!" The cure never failed - & was fun!

What is that saying, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade."? OR is it, "If life gives you migraines, make - - - -". [OR, don't send your b/f down to the pharmacy, just send him down -.]
