Once every couple of months I'll get a crushing, so-bad-it-literally makes-you-throw-up headache, usually centered in my forehead and temples. I wish I knew what caused them, so I could figure out how to avoid them (it's not caffeine withdrawal, not caused by my glasses prescription, not a sinus headache... possibly they're migraines?)

I also wish they didn't inevitably start at work, where "not continuing to spend the next few hours staring at an LCD computer screen" is not an option.

If they might be migraines, maybe check it out with the doctor? There's a lot of migraine medications that you take at the first sign of a migraine (you don't have to take anything regularly) that are effective for a lot of people.

I used to get migraines with visual disturbances, so when I started getting them without that I assumed it was a different kind of headache. But no, still migraines!

Ugh, sympathies. I get migraines, and it's so miserable to be in that much pain at work.

Talk to your doctor; no need to suffer through this.

I hope your bout of migranes has passed and that you're feeling better. Lots of well wishes!
