I'm sorry to hear that Moosey. I wish I knew what to say...really but I don't. >_< I hope something happens in which your headaches stop altogether though. |

I have been having headaches daily for almost 7 years. |

Things are not as they seem
Awww thanks, Jeff. |

I don’t know what your cash or health insurance status is but know that you don’t have to suffer with untreatable migraines if you can pay. Eletriptan, Treximet and Imitrex are miracle drugs. If you are under 18, your health provider might be hesitant but there is always pitiful begging you could use to sway him/her. |

Wow...that...sucks... |

Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well. At least I'm not dead.'

Watermelon might not just be a placebo effect. It is a natural diuretic, which means it carries excess fluids out of your body. Asparagus does that too. Diuretic medications are normally prescribed for high blood pressure. Do they test your blood pressure when you go to the doctor? |

You might also google "aromatherapy + migraines" for some ideas of something you can do yourself. Lavender and peppermint were the two essential oils that popped up first in the sites I browsed through. You want to get pure essential oils. You could simply inhale them out of the bottle, or mix them with a carrier oil and massage onto your temples. |

Oh wow, thank you for all the information! I'll definitely take your advice. |

Could it have to do with Bruxism? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruxism) |
|
Nah. My mom has bruxism and even she doesn't have headaches. She's checked to see if I grind my teeth during sleep and I don't. |
|
You do not have to get headaches from Bruxism, but you can. Trust me, I know. |

I have had migraines since I was a baby (my mom wondered why I would suddenly puke on people...) and I still had them, actually had a horrible on last night. You mentioned that u try to puke even though u haven't aten anything? Sometimes if I go a day without much food (yesterday I had popcorn, a cookie, and half a sandwhich) I get a bad migraine. It was so bad I puked, even though I don't know what the hell I puked but there was a lot of it. Anyway.. have you ever had a cat scan? My mom did all sorts of things to me cause of my head aches, but I figured it was heredity. My dad use to have him but he grew out of them and now rarely has a headache and almost never has a really bad pukey one. I take ibuprofen if I get a pretty bad migraine, even though I try not use it much. Theres also another sample pill the doctor gave me to try out, I took it once and it got me high, I felt like a bumble bee. It was fun. ^__^ I only taken it once though, but it made my headache disappear. Bumble bees don't get headaches. Also eat at the very least 2 meals a day (and popcorn for one meal and a half a sandwhich and a cookie for the other doesn't count), even though try for 3. But yea I feel your pain, sometimes I feel like killing myself cause the pain is just UGHH. I haven't killed myself yet though in case your wondering. XD |

"There are two types of people in this world, people who think there are two types of people, and people who don't."
I've read about cluster headaches. They're awfully fast headaches, usually only lasting a few minutes, and the pain can be as bad as amputation or child birth without pain killers. Some people commit suicide because they're so bad. |
|
Do you get any sort of visual disturbances leading into a headache? And what exactly is "vision is worse?" Light sensitivity? Blurriness? |

The Emperor Wears No Clothes: The book that everyone needs to read."If the words "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" don't include the right to experiment with your own consciousness, then the Declaration of Independence isn't worth the hemp it was written on."- Terence McKenna
Mostly blurriness but if it's a really bad headache, closer to a migraine, I've got the usual hypersensitivity symptom to light and sound. |
|
A guy at my Kingdom Hall (church) gets horrendous headaches. I don't know the specifics but desperation drove his mom to start isolating things from his diet. Turns out, he's extremely sensative to certain additives, preservatives, as well as certain fragrants. |

The problem with caffeine is that it also TRIGGERS migraines, then when you have one coming on, it can also stop it. But it's best not to use anything with a lot of caffeine at all if you get them, because it will trigger it. The doses used to stop it are much higher, and there's a pill I used to take that was mostly caffeine. I can't remember what it was called... that was over twenty years ago! Coke has a lot of caffeine, comparable to coffee. If you can avoid it, it's better to. |
|
I'm going to let everyone know right now, since you're all mentioning it, we do not have a family doctor. |
|
Good plan! American style cheese slices are okay, as they aren't aged. And you could have sliced chicken or turkey for your sandwiches... they shouldn't have the chemicals in them. Good luck with it. |
|
What is your sleeping position? Do you sleep turned to the side that you usually get the headaches (the left side)? Do you think that while sleeping you could, by moving in bed, get your face turned to that side? Have you ever tried sleeping in another position? |
