another migraine. i don't know what triggers these off. i haven't done anything out of the ordinary today or anything.

i was told some years ago by a headache doctor that they weren't "real" migraines, but just tension-related hedaches or something. and that if i relaxed they would go away. which kind of feels like i'm being blamed for them

but i don't see how. i get kpain, right now mainly behind and a little to the above of my left eye, along with strong light aversion and not liking nloise. they have been incapacitating and i hope they aren't again. if i get a bad one nothing i take seems to stop it.

i need to fix this. it was supposed to be fixed already.

It most likely means that you suffer from "common" migraine as opposed to "classical" migraine which might have been what that doctor was referring to. If painkillers are not working then your GP should be able to give you a 5HT₁ agonist like sumatriptan. Don't suffer them until you've tried all the options.
