early 15c., from Middle French lesion, from Latin laesionem (nominative laesio) injury, from past participle stem of laedere to strike, hurt, damage, of unknown origin. Originally with reference to any sort of hurt, whether physical or not.
Most migraines last about 4 hours, but severe ones can last up to a week. How often they happen differs for everyone, but itâs common to get two to four headaches per month. Some people may get migraines every few days, while others get them once or twice a year.
I just wanted to tell you that YES a headache can last two weeks. I was motivated to find this forum when I had a headache that lasted 8 days a couple months ago. I felt like there was something seriously wrong with me. I went to bed with it and even woke up with it (which isn't typical for me).
