Can I cry now? :( UPDATE
I have been battling a new type of headache the past two weeks. At first I thought I just slept wrong, since my neck was sore, but it has progressed to a full on daily headache that hurts on my entire left side of my head. Everything from under the base of my skull all the way to my eye, and sometimes my left ear and left nostril. I have tried caffeine, which usually does the trick, drinking water, and even a chiro adjestment and massage, but it just seems to come and go as it pleases. Usually triggered by artificial light (computer,TV, phone). Last night I couldn't fall asleep for over an hour because it was so painful to sleep on my head. The only thing that seemed to give me some relief was either sleeping on the back of my head or tilting my head to the left.
Migraines/severe headaches run on both sides of my family. They are so bad on my mom's side that my aunt actually blacked out while driving and hit the center divide. Luckily she was okay. My dad gets them really bad too. So I guess I'm just doomed.
Is this something I should bring up to my OB? Or should I just go to my primary care? I would like to find some relief, but I have a feeling I won't be able to do much until after little miss gets here.
Sorry for the long vent/rant, I'm just miserable right now...
UPDATE: I am home now. They basically said since my blood work was normal there was nothing they could do. So I'm still in pain, with nothing to help it and no answers on what is causing it.

Re: Can I cry now? :( UPDATE
I hope you feel better soon!
Thinking back I did hit my head slightly to the left of center on the back of my head, so it is odd that I am having left sided pain now, and does make it seem likely to be related. I guess I'll wait and see what the nurse says.

RIP Dr. Irving Fishman - 10/1/19-7/25/10 - thank you for holding on for me.
You made my wedding day complete.
During this pregnancy, I've gotten them less frequent but they are definite stronger.
My perinatologist said that for many women, the frequency and severity of migraines increases during pregnancy. I hope you find some relief soon.
T&Ps coming your way!!
