always on same side?

do your headaches always happen on same side without ever switching? every single time i get one, it is always on left side and i wondered if this is typical, or if it is supposed to change sides once in a while, and the pain always goes as far as the upper part of neck right under ear, thanks

It can switch sides, I went 23 years left side and then it was right side for about three years......back to left side for four years.
Now its no side, it just went away.....thats big when you have been chronic for 30 years

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I have always had mine on the right since I was a kid. I'm 54 now. The pain is always mainly in the right eye and temple region, although after weeks and weeks of CH the tension HAs usually set in too with a stiff neck and that generally sore head feeling all day.
No HA's for me for almost 3 years now but I always keep my finger on the pulse of this site to keep up to date on treatments just in case they return - you can never trust this devil!

Primary Chronic for 22 years, left side 99% of the time.
Only rogue hits on the right.

Always the left ... always the left.
Starts in my left sinus area and quickly ramps up to eye, jaw and teeth on that side. When I don't get to my inject fast enough, the left side of my throat also.
Never had one on the right, though the beast has been known to change sides.
PF Wishes,
Kris

I always get them on my right side and I am right handed. The right side of my head was injured in a car accident a year or two before my first attack.
My dad had attacks on his left side. He was right handed, and had an injury to the left side of his skull in vietnam.

First 12 years I was episodic and right sided only. Then turned chronic and switched to left sided attacks. Can still have attacks on either side but mainly left sided now. 90+ % left sided

Thirty years on the right side until this year and it switched sides.
I have had them on the right side long enough that my face kind of droops on that side.
I guess with it changing sides maybe my face will even out.
Is there an upside to this story?

Forty years on the left side, exclusively. It's why I look like this:

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs

And their harlequin eyes.

And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

95% of time on right with droopy eyelid, nasal congestion, teeth hurting etc. but only 5% on left with just drippy nose. For some reason I can stand the left ones a little easier that the right even though the pain is as bad.

I am always left. Never have I had one on the right. When I do have pain on the right, I actually feel safer that it wont turn into one because I have never had one there. However, after reading these posts about it jumping, I dont think I will rest as easy.
