You know, having anxiety about it made me post it here xD sorry for the long post
Last two years in around September I have had this very strange headache or face pain on left side of my head,
Both times started the same way as a tenderness to touch in exact same spot, which is in the inner corner of my left eye and nose bridge bone on that side feels tender. That takes around 1 or half a day then I have quite much pain around left eye, on my cheek bone, temple and also on top of my head on left side. Back of my eye also is painful.
The pain feels like a painful burning feeling + dull pain also I noticed a little runny nose on that side and the major thing is I have very slightly droopy and tearing eye. The eye really tears a lot.
At first I thought it was an eye infection as I had some dried white residue under my eyelashes in mornings so went to dr got an antibiotic eye salve, after 5-6 days the pain stopped like suddenly.
The second year I got the same thing at almost the same month, I thought "oh yeah? infection again??" then went to dr got the same salve but this time it was around 7th day it cut like nothing happened, and then I knew it was not an infection because 7th day was long past the antibiotic salve's treatment period.
I asked the dr, but they didn't have any clue but they said apparently nothing sinister.
I searched of course the internet, well yes please show mercy, and cluster headaches was one of the possibilities which threw me into insta-panic right there. But then I thought it might not be because even thought the pain was quite bothersome, it was not severe enough to make me bounce my head to walls.
Then this year, since the time is near xD I asked my therapist about my anxiety for the possibility.
She thinks this sounds like Migraine.
but a migraine flare once a year? at the same time? I don't have knowledge on migraines I guess.
