Nothing official.... But I do feel migraine pain in my face sometimes. Usually where I feel sinus pain, round about my teeth/cheek bones.

Me too Witsy, but not like its been since Christmas, and wasnt aware there was a separate category....were you..

Last that I heard this was a newer classification of migraines due to misdiagnosis. Not that THAT ever happens!

My mom suffered from headaches most of her life. She used to call them "sinus headaches". I remember her constantly eating aspirin, Tylenol, etc. and getting little (if any) relief. I believe now she was really having facial migraines, and was never given proper pain medication. Of course this was during the 70's when nobody was getting adequate pain treatment.

Every now and then I get it so it seems to be in my cheek bones, or in my teeth. I always thought that it was just another part of the migraines and didn't even thing about it before now lol

I've has the same thing Loki. That's got to be one of the more strange feelings of discomfort; to have your cheek bones hurt.

I don't know how my mom endured it for so many years.

Mine is in my cheek bones and teeth. I have to be careful not to lean on bits of my head, it can start it off. But they tell me it is TMJ.
