Unilateral Headache
means that the pain only ever occurs on one side of the head, and never shifts
to the other. About one in five people with migraine will experienced
"side-locked" pains in the head.

headache, which never moves, can suggest an underlying structural problem, not

The neurologist added two new meds to try. One for motion sickness which she takes when she threatens to throw up (once a week) and she already takes stomach medicine. The other one is used once or twice month when she wakes up with her left eye shut.Both medication first results are promising.
