Just want to start off by saying that it’s likely I’m putting 2 and 2 together and making 5 and that actually this is completely unrelated to the headaches, but I thought I would ask in case anyone has any knowledge.
I’ve been suffering hideous headaches since around 12. I’d never had a single headache in my life until then and suddenly I was having them several times a week and vomiting with the pain. I had a doctor who said no tests were necessary and it was hormonal changes causing the headaches. He was probably correct, and it’s clearly nothing serious as that was 20 years ago and I’m still here, but i suppose it would have been better to get some testing done just to make sure the headaches were definitely migraines etc. But regardless, it’s clearly nothing sinister. Albeit very unpleasant when it happens.
but I was at the hairdresser recently and she mentioned about the shape of my skull and how she had felt a lot of heads in her career but that mine was the strangest. I knew it was a bit wonky but didn’t realise how wonky it apparently was compared to the norm. I always assumed a suture closed too early or late or incorrectly. Basically i have a big indented line running down where the sagital suture would be. It’s probably about 1.5cm- 2cm deeper than the rest of my skull- my skull curves normally and then suddenly drops down into the dip. You can actually feel the edge of the skull as it dips down into it- it’s not a gradual dip it’s quite steep down into the dent. It runs for around 3 inches vertically down where the saggital suture was.
I just thought everyone had something like this on their head and that it was possibly a suture not closing properly but I’ve never been worried about it. I suppose what I’m wondering is, would that have anything to do with the headaches? Just curious as when the headaches started I was going through growth spurts and I’m wondering if everything inside me grew but this inwards groove is affecting the space in my skull or perhaps something is rubbing off it since it’s dented inwards?
as I said, I’m probably joining the wrong dots but after the hairdressers reaction I suppose it got me wondering if it could be linked at all (Or if it’s just that my skull is messed up, LOL)
