Anamnesis
A 46-year-old florist reports recurring headache attacks occurring in bouts over several years. She experiences a headache that stays fixed to one side of her head, over the temple, and describes the pain as moderate rather than crippling. Rather than a run of jabs, she gets isolated single stabs of pain, one at a time, each lasting about five minutes before easing off. She is getting one such attack a day at present, part of what she believes is only her second such run ever; over her lifetime she puts the total at around twenty attacks. Sweat breaks out across her forehead and cheek on the affected side whenever an attack strikes, yet she has never noticed her eye going red or watering. The gap since her first run was well beyond three months, during which she had no headaches at all.
