I'm wondering if anyone else has similar experience with migraines. Mine are always the same pattern. First I get extreme fatigue which sets in during early evening. This I now know is my early warning sign.
Then slowly there is a very dull mild headache...almost as if maybe the real headache won't develop. Then it may start to ache more and more. I fall asleep at bedtime exhausted usually with a little head pain or none yet at this point, hoping it will go away. I might take a pain medicine depending on how bad it is.
But then I wake up in the early morning hours (1 - 3am) with extreme head pain that lasts for 4-6 hours. I used icepacks on my head. I take Tylenol or Ibuprofen, or sometimes Exedrin if it is really bad. Mine are always at night like this.
Question: Anyone else experience this odd, extreme fatigue, wiped out feeling, early warning sign and know what it means? What about also only getting headaches at night / waking up from sleep ?
are these cluster headaches? Migraines? They happen almost daily and then might stop for a week and then start again. Sometimes I get 15 per month.
