I was diagnosed with tension headaches but then found out that I had been misdiagnosed and they were actually migraines. In either case it is better and easier to prevent the headaches then it is to try to get rid of them once they have taken hold. I am on 30mg of Amitriptyline a day and my headaches have decreased significantly. When I do get a headache Excedrin Migraine takes care of it. But don't take Excedrin Migraine more than twice a week because you could end up getting what they call a rebound headache.

get essential oil of peppermint and rub it on your temples. get acupuncture too. it helps, but yiu have to do it more than once fir it to be effective.

I get these. I have had a few sports massage sessions to treat an old and reoccurring dislocation. My pecs and latts are tight which leads up to my neck all due to over protecting my shoulder. one day she worked on my neck and did trigger points and I haven't had one since (3weeks). My posture is compromised and I lead with my chin a lot. I dont know if it would help but i would suggest an upper body massage or better yet Phisio. I have had these headache's for days in the past. She gave me some home exercises as well.

Do you have allergies? Allergies cause me sinus problems. My major allergen is cat dander, but for some reason I have less problem with my fluffy cat (indoor) than I have with my indoor /outdoor cat who has shorter hair. Even when she was an all indoor cat, she was a major allergen for me. I just cannot nuzzle her without washing straight away & I cannot put my hands near my face without washing first. My mom used to heat flour in a cast iron skillet, put it in a cloth napkin and put it on my ear. I did same with my kids and they rarely got full blown ear infections that required antibiotics.

Do you have a rehab center near by that specializes in pain management? I was just accepted into Chicago's Rehab Institute in Jan.I am praying that this will help me manage my pain better.
