I seriously need help on this... But since about 8th grade (Im in 11th now) Ive had very progressively worse migraines. At first its like a punch square in the whole side of my head.... Then today its freaking between baseball bat or a bullet through my head feeling! No joke thats how it feels, they will last non stop for hours on end. Longest is 5 hours because I went to sleep, NO meds what so ever help, no eating or drinking help. Being in the dark... No help. Light is my enemy for these at times but sometimes it doesnt affect me as much. But they are full on debilitating. If I was driving, Id literally have to pull over and I could not drive, I cant do anything with them!! They are only getting worse, they are becoming more frequent and on and off at random times now and everything... I need help, they are getting worse!

Go see a doctor, preferably a neurologist, as soon as possible about this. What you are describing is a very serious condition that could range from a chemical imbalance to a brain tumor, and only a neurologist will be able to tell you what it is and help get you on track to living a normal life again. The fact that they are so severe shows the need to see a doctor as soon as humanly possible. A general practitioner wouldn't be much help in this, a neurologist specialized in things dealing with nerves and the brain. They will be able to help you a thousand times more than anyone else would.

Or it might also be...migraines, which are hereditary, seemingly genetic, with nobody really sure what causes them and no treatment other than supportive care. No need to be scary, but do consult.
I am prone to migraines too, since around 11. When I feel them coming I just brace and prepare. There isn't much you can do once you feel the aura. I find I get them more rarely now, but one of my very few identified triggers is caffeine.

Well... The thing is no one in the family has them, just me. They have your run of the mill head ache now and then but not migraines or anything close! Still off to the doc... From my experience this wont be fun.

It sounds like migraines, but you should see a doctor since they clearly interfere with your life. You don't have to have family members with migraines to get them. I get them fairly often, but no one in my family gets them. You should also try to find out what triggers them and try to avoid it. They can often be triggered by certain foods, so you might avoid them, by avoiding those foods.

I used to get those killer, just wanna bang head in2 wall cuZ it'll hurt less.....
They seemed like somebody stuck a basketball in my sinuses and blew it up as hard as they could. Some actually had me curl up in a fetal position on the bathroom floor. Once, so bad they took me to the emergency room. They couldn't even medicate it and had to put me totally out by injection.
They were diagnosed as "CLUSTER HEADACHES". I was put on high dose when neede caffine pills. I suffered with them for abt a year and a half, and believe it ot not, one day they went away as quickly as they came. I luckily havet had one in over 2 years.
Good luck!!
Gogle cluster headaches and see if those symptoms match yours.....

Hereditary diseases can skip a few generations. My children might not have my migraines.

Ive had these for years and over that time... Ive tried to figure out what causes them or how to stop them, neither I know of. What can stop them, nothing does. And they can come for literally any reason.

Ill look em up and see what it says.

Ill ask to see if anyone in previous generations did but as far as I know... They didnt, they had other stuff though. Not migraine related...

Cluster headaches, or trigeminal neuralgia, is a different condition from migraines. The pain is much more intense, but more short lived. Cluster headaches last minutes to an hour, while migraines can last for up to three days. However, the pain of a cluster headache is much more debilitating.
