It feels like my head is about to explode and its a real throbbing kind of pain.

But...I dont get the other stuff associated with migraines (sickness, not liking bright lights, halos, double vision etc etc).

So Im hoping to find out if anyone here gets a migraine, without all the other symptons?

Ive had an eye test, and my eyes are fine. I had a neurological exam (they took my blood pressure, looked at my teethe (???) and hit my knees and elbows with that little hammer, plus she looked at my eyes) and that was fine.

Also headache tablets dont work that well. I usually take 2 tablets and a headache goes in 45 mins. With this I take 4 and its almost gone after 3-4 hours.
