all of a sudden it's the other side

Hello everyone, I'm new here but not to the headaches. But something different has occured the other night. My pain is (was) always on my left side. The other night I woke up with pain on my right side. It reminded me of the first one I ever got. I'm used to having the pain on the left side. I know what to expect and when to expect it. All of a sudden it's my right side. the intensity seems higher and the characteristics seem a little different. These start at the top of my head on my right side. The pain moves down into my temple and just when it seems like it's leaving, it moves back up to the top again. I feel like I'm starting all over again. When's it gonna end?????????

Tricky little bastard isn't he. I remember all to well the two times he has decided to attack from the other side. Thankfully he's never hit me in both at the same time.

CH can switch sides. Although you shouldn't make any assumptions. See your doc again. Tell him what's up. It's probably just ch switching - but don't take any chances. Welcome aboard.

Agree with the other responses: changes are not uncommon and, especially, during the first few years of starting to have attacks. I experienced movement to several different sites & patterns of attack before some stability set in.
But the key is to focus on finding treatments which work for you and avoiding the hopeless questions--why?, when will it stop? Fussing with questions which cannot be answered is a formula for increased suffering.

Sure agree with you on that one.
Welcome Sufferer !
Yes it does change sides for some. A couple of my cycles where on the left. Mostly always on the right though.

I was right sided only for years!
Then just like you. Next cycle it was on the left and YES! the pain did feel like the first time ever and it seemed to not be so organized as my right. Now that I’m 3 years a lefty I have gotten used to my left side and the pain has become just as organized as my old right.

My cycles have always been two sided, they are on one side for about a month and a half then switch sides and I finish out my cycle on the other side for another month and a half...loads of fun 
But I agree that you should have it checked out, just need to be safe when it comes to matters of the brain...good luck sweetie, it sucks, but at least you have us now, and you're not alone!!

Welcome to the insanity we call life. I agree with Thomas, see the Dr. about it switching sides just to be safe.
