HEY EVERYONE, I WAS WONDERING IF ANY OF YOU EXPERIENCE HEADACHES LIKE ME. I HAVE NOTICED WHEN I STARTED MY HEADACHE DIARY THAT I GET LIKE A WEEK WHERE I WILL WAKE UP EVERY MORNING WITH ONE, AND THEN FOR LIKE TWO WEEKS I WONT, AND IT CONTINUES LIKE THAT. IS THAT WIERD? ALL MY OTHER SYMPTOMS ARE THERE (WOOSHING, PAPS, FLOATERS, FLASHES, EXT.) BUT NOT ALWAYS A HEADACHE.

April - I wake up with a headache every day. Weather affects me as well.
Beanstreeter - My period definitely affects me. I know other people on the boards have said that as well in the past.
