    My headaches started as a teen, my junior year in high school. My pediatrician diagnosed them as cluster headaches and game me cafregot. I took it once and was queezy as anything. It did get rid of the pain. The odd thing is that the headaches went away for about a year. They came back my freshman year in college. Every other weekend like clockwork. The school clinic gave me Imitrex and told me that if it didn’t work nothing would. It didn’t. That summer when I went home I started on the journey of drugs and preventatives. That was 1996. Luckily we found that Imitrex combined with fiorinal would abort the headaches but frequency has slowly crept up over the years. They are near daily now with odd breaks here and there. If only I knew what caused the breaks I might be free.

    I would have to say I disagree I am 14 and I have chronic migraines. I have had these since I was one (mother fact). My doctor says there is nothing you can do about migraines other than take some pain relievers or Tylenol or aspirin and rest! Chronic migraines can be caused by stress, not enough sleep, to much work, or just any reason. To some teenagers this IS normal I have been living with it my whole life! You can’t just fight back it’s not that easy.
