Chris,
You don't give any details about your symptoms but it is possible to have mild variations of the headaches. Mine started about 18 and I thought they were sinus headaches at the time. They didn't become really bad and unbearable till I was about 25 and I had them diagnosed as cluster by a neuro. March has been my favorite choice of months to have them. Many get them around March and April but there are all kinds of variations.
The maddening thing about these is that they come and go for many and I have experienced both mild and severe rounds of these. As you can see, many of us have several different remedies we have tried or found and what works for some doesn't for others. I have used Midrin but had to move to stronger things like Vicodin (hydrocordone) when they really work up. Should you be cursed with these remember they won't kill you. You just feel like they will.
There are many things to try for these, some are cleaner than others. This has been a great site for many of us to trade stories. Hope you find relief.
