Washing Up
IC, my Mother would get migraines like that. She had to see a neurologist because they would incapacitate her. Those meds you have are just a cover-up for an underlying problem.
It could be tension headaches. I should probably do what was suggested and start logging possible triggers that set the headaches off. But usually I get them from when I wake up, so it's not as simple as say, eating something and then I get it an hour later. It's rare that I'm already up and it comes on. I know it's not my BP. Every year when I go to the doctor it's the same: 110-114/70-74. The last time I mentioned my headaches to the doctor, he didn't really give me a succinct answer as to what could be the cause, he just prescribed me vicodin. Maybe I should see another doctor.
You know, Alix, I'm convinced that massage will cure practically anything. Really. Even stuff you didn't know you had. I personally think that touch has magical healing properties by itself and when you get a deep massage, it heals you from the inside out. (That along with a hot bath, clean sheets and plenty of liquids.)Ironchef, if what you have are tension headaches may I suggest you look at massage to help? I tend to clench/grind my teeth and it causes all the muscles in my neck to tighten up giving me nasty headaches. The massage (once every six weeks) is a lifesaver and has really helped the frequency.
