Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experiences with us. I'm so sorry you are seeing an uptick in attack frequency. I can tell you you're not alone in this. It's so frustrating when pain seems to take over our life. Let me share a few thoughts with you if I may.
The first thing that comes to mind is screen time and the possibility you may be sensitive to screen flicker, blue light and/or fluorescent light. This can certainly trigger head pain and there are glasses that help. Here is more information on screen time/light; https://migraine.com/search?s=screen and https://migraine.com/search?s=light%20sensitivity.
Have you had a chance to speak with your doctor about this increased head pain? If not, I would encourage you to. There are many, many options to treat migraine and headache disease and having the right diagnosis is important. This will allow us to get the proper treatment. Migraine/headache disease treatment can include medications, supplements, devices, complementary therapies and lifestyle modifications. Most of us use a combination of them - I sure do.
Another thought is rebound (often called medication adaptation or medication overuse) headache. This is daily head pain unwittingly created by taking pain relievers and/or migraine medications, whether they are over-the-counter or prescription, more than two to three days a week. If we are in one of these cycles, our attacks may be more difficult to treat and we can end up in a daily cycle of endless pain. Here is information on this; https://migraine.com/headache-types/medication-overuse-rebound.
