If you are in constant migraine pain, along with constant neurological symptoms such as numbness, it may not be a migraine at all.
It is important to seek the help of a neurologist to rule out other causes, such as a herniated disc or a stroke.

The Ring, or any other estrogen based form of birth control, can cause migraines. Sharp increases and decreases in estrogen are known to trigger migraines. It doesn't for all people. Some people find that birth control improves their migraines, some people finds it makes them worse. For some, it makes no difference at all. The Ring is contraindicated in those with migraine with aura, because migraine with aura also raises stroke risk.
What are cluster migraines?
"A cluster headache is one of the most painful types of headache. It's also distinctive in ways other than the severity of the pain. A striking feature of cluster headache is that the attacks occur in cyclical patterns, or clusters - which gives the condition its name." Cluster headaches come on suddenly and escalate quickly, it also ends just as quickly. The pain is one-sided, and involves the eye. They are generally over within 30 minutes, although they can be as short as 15 minutes or stretch to three excruciating hours. They often occur during the same of day, and most attacks happen from 9pm to 9am. There are studies which link cluster headaches to the disruption of circadian rhythms. This is why many cluster sufferers have their attack cycle during the changing of the seasons. Attack cycles generally last from two to twelve weeks. Other signs and symptoms that may accompany cluster headache include: * Stuffy or runny nasal passage in the nostril on the affected side of your face * Flushing on the affected side of your face * Sweaty, pale skin (pallor) * Swelling around the eye on the affected side of your face * Reduced pupil size * Drooping eyelid Only some of the medications that work on migraine assist with cluster headache.

How do physicians diagnose a migraine?
Doctors diagnose migraine by asking questions about your symptoms to find out if your experience 1) will fit the criteria needed for diagnosis of migraine 2) if your symptoms indicate there may be another cause for head pain and other symptoms.Because Migraine is primary (not caused by something else) and a diagnosis of exclusion, sometimes MRI/MRA or CT scans are used so that the physician can see visually whether there may be a physical cause within the brain or brain's vascular system that may be triggering the pain.Below are the criteria adopted by the International Headache Society for two main types of migraine headache - without aura and with aura. The criteria are used as a framework of the most predominant symptoms suffered by migraineurs. They do not describe the experience of every migraineur.Diagnostic criteria for Migraine Without Aura:Migraine without aura: at least 5 attacks fulfilling criteria B-D.Headache attacks lasting 4-72 hoursHeadache has at least two of the following characteristics: unilateral locationpulsating/throbbing qualitymoderate or severe pain intensityaggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activityDuring headache at least one of the following: nausea and/or vomitingsensitivity to light and/or soundNot attributed to another disorderDiagnostic criteria for *Typical Migraine With Aura:At least 2 attacks fulfilling criteria B-DAura consisting of at least one of the following, but no motor weakness**: fully reversible visual symptoms including positive features (ie, flickering lights, spots or lines) and/or negative features (ie, loss of vision)fully reversible sensory symptoms including positive features (ie, pins and needles) and/or negative features (ie, numbness)fully reversible dysphasic speech disturbance (stuttering, slurring, or aphasia)At least two of the following: Additional homonymous visual disturbance (which means a loss or blurring of visual in the same visual field in both eyes) and/or unilateral sensory symptoms (loss of sensation that occurs on one side of the body - such as numbness of the face or extremity)at least one aura symptom develops gradually over ≥5 minutes and/or different aura symptoms occur in succession over ≥5 minuteseach symptom lasts ≥5 and ≤60 minutes***Headache fulfilling criteria B-D for Migraine without aura begins during the aura or follows aura within 60 minutesNot attributed to another disorder*There are categories of atypical migraines. This diagnostic criteria only lists the most common and prominent features of the typical migraine with aura.**Motor weakness associated with migraine (when no other physical cause is found) indicates atypical migraine, such as familial or sporadic hemiplegic migraine.***In other types of migraine, aura may last longer than one hour, particularly in subtypes such as hemiplegic migraine where they may last a day or more. A rare complication of migraine is Persistent Aura without Infarction, which means that the aura phase may last for weeks, sometimes months or longer, but scanning of the brain do not indication that a stroke has occurred, meaning that damage to the brain is not at fault for the neurological symptoms.
