Question:
Do you think that's still MIGRAINE if you don't have ALL of the symptoms?
What do you think?
One sided headache with a throbbing pain that lasts about three days or more (the first being the most painful). A very localized pain that sometimes connects with the neck and eye. It gets worse with movement and efforts.
No nausea, no vomiting, no photophobia, no phonophobia.
I already went to the doc, an on duty doctor, he told me it's possibly a migraine. He said I should see my family doctor to keep track of it and have a more accurate diagnose. He told me that I might be asked to keep a diary about the headaches.

I don't drink coffee. I have a healthy diet and I excercise 3 times a week. That means aerobic excercise and pilates.
Answers:
Go to a neurologist who specializes in headaches or, as in the case with my doctor, a primary care physician who actually gets migraines.
There are many different kinds of headaches and migraines.
His suggestion to keep a diary is not a bad one. You might be able to identify something you are eating or drinking that is bringing these on.
One tip my doctor gave me: drink coffee. It has helped tremendously. Also, Excedrin Migraine is good, but you have to take it when the headache first appears to come on.
