    I never had one until I was 17 and woke up with a crushing migraine, puking and crying. Those continued (not frequent but crazy intense) until I got pregnant, a pause each time I was. Menopause didn’t stop them (so disappointing) but menopause plus low dose hormones has pretty much done the trick.

    But I’ve never had a “regular” headache, like a tension headache. Only migraine, hangover, sinus.

    What I wanted to say though is that you are so lucky if your head never hurts, like hurts so infrequently that you think people are faking it. It’s a terrible place to hurt.
