I'd say I've had two ordinary headaches this year which is probably about average.
Yer right. It is an interesting question.

One or two per week here (I think because I spend my workdays staring at a computer screen).

If I had a "normal" HA, I probably wouldn't even notice it...that is like a PF moment to me. I honestly do not recall what a "normal" HA feels like anymore.

I didn't normally get headaches between cycles, except after this last cycle Feb 2002. Since it ended in May 2002, I have had headaches to the point that its gotten really annoying. Still nothing like having an actual cluster HA though. I just don't know what changed. Plus I also have had for the last few months (and it just ended a week ago) what felt like a cycle without the actual pain. I posted about that a couple weeks back or so looking to see if others had that experience. A first for me, that I can recall anyway.

Before I ever got clusters I was a "headachy kind of person". Apart from the occasional migraines I got at least 1 or 2 a week.
Now I rarely get them. And it is even rarer (more rare?) to take anything for them if I do.

Interesting!
I used to get at least one migraine a month. Since developing CH, I have hardly had any, and those I have had were at the beginning of a CH cycle so may have been CH shadows. I put this down to some useful side effect from the Imigran use. I get headaches from alcohol use more frequently now though (that could be age!)
Hold the front page- CH cures migraines! ;D

I usually get many, many headaches between cycles. Tension HA's, Migraine, Hangover HAs on occasion  and just plain old HA's. These usually react well to OTC painkillers and Tiger Balm. This has been the pattern of my whole life. In the past year I have discovered that if I stay off wheat products I rarely get a HA, but if I go back to eating wheat (it's really hard to give up!) I start to get a few HA's after a month or so.
These all pale into insignificance compared with a cluster cycle which is totally debilitating, and life and work becomes almost impossible without Imigran injections.

I only get Migraines between cycles. They are annoying at their worst! Never worse than a 5kip! I can always sleep with my migraines though.

Its probably a sypathetic reaction to my Chronic CH/Migraine wife...ole whats-her-name.
I used to never get anything butt my epissodick Clusters. Now I'm gettin a bunch of across-the-back-of -my-head nagging mild headaches! With our med warchest...I got some very large flyswatters for those pissants!
The sumbitches are nagging, annoying, curiosities...like my wife.
Good Grief

I got tons of sinus headaches before getting hit with the clusters. For some reason the sinus headaches have stopped completely since I had my first cycle. I ain't complaining ... they were annoying and uncofortable ...... but now they are gone !!!!!!!!!!

I get regular headaches when i get too hot and haven't had enough water. I take an aspirin and it goes away...no big.
The worst thing about it is that nagging fear - will this start a cycle? That's more bothersome than the headache.

Oh Lawdy, I must be de Queen of Headaches!
I've always had tension headaches, smoking headaches, TMJ and heat exhaustion headaches, prolly 3-4 times per week.
Got my first cluster in 1967.
Added occipital migraines (especially from heat exhaustion) in the '90s, and topped it all off 2 years ago with classical migraines (usually in the spring from allergies).
My unscientific, cockeyed theory is that there are 2 (10 for Kirk) types of people in the world--those who express their stress through headaches, and those who express their stress through their stomaches. So, the good news, I guess, is that I've never had ulcers or any stomach problems other than occasional heartburn.
This might be more detail than you aked for, but I COULD add more, you know.

I've had migraines since about age 16 (CH just started about 5 yrs ago) I used to get migraines and tension type headaches fairly often, now I get the migraines about once a month and tension type about every other week or so.
