Headache That Never Goes Away With Medicine Posted: 07-21-06 10:35am
Hi I hope someone can help or answer my
question.
I have headaches quite often lasting for
weeks. It usually comes before my period
and then the whole week of my period. I
take excedrine but it does not help. I
took pamprin also to see if they are
related to pms but that didn't help
either. I'm on the patch so i'm not sure
if it's the extra amount of estrogen i'm
getting or what. But when I was off
birth control I still had these headaches.
I was wondering if this was normal or what
I need to do about it. I dont' feel my
regular doctor can help and I don't know
what to do.
It's a pain right behind my eyes. I wear
contacts so I don't think my eyes are
straining.

Hi there! I am not a dr but my contacts
used to give me headaches, have you seen
your eye dr lately? Ask your dr to do the
fibromyalgia test on you and let him know
about the headaches and about them not
letting up, are you light sensitive, do
you have sinus problems, these are all the
questions you should be asking your dr or
optometrist. I know that I suffer with
migranes and the only thing that helps me
is if I take immitrex and promethezine and
go to bed in a dark room at the onset of a
migraine if I don't, I get totally
nauseated.
Maybe someone else might have some more
answers for you.
Good luck!

I agree with h1260 and sandyallen, check
your contacts and see your doctor asap,
headaches are miserable things. Listen to
your doctor.
I posted this elsewhere but, at 50 and
suffering from bad headaches for many
years, I have tried everything.
Everything my doctor prescribed didn't
really help and many caused some miserable
side effects. This worked for me and some
of my friends. I was skepticle but alas,
I did find relief!
i am dr shally. I always recommend that
one should avoid excessive use of
allopathy medicines. You should go for
natural remedies. There's a good
informative site. Http://www.Natural-homereme
dies.Com/
it has natural home remedies for all
common diseases.
Bye and take care
shally :)

Week Headache Posted: 08-30-06 01:18am
My mother gets headaches like these. She
ends up going to the er and they give her
something to 'make it go away'. I tell
her these are migraines, but she does not
believe me. I say this because back in
the day I used to get classical migraines
about once a month and around that one
migraine I would get about a week or more
of headaches that would just not go
away... Turns out they were mild
migraines... Turns out they did not stay
that way with me. Anyway, wish I could
tell you what they gave here. But I do
not for menestral migraines, even before
the preventatives and abortives for severe
ones, they suggest a stronger
anti-inflamatory before your cycle and
during it. I also take a water pill,
diaretic, to get rid of water build up,
seven days prior to my cycle, to help with
just that type of migraine. So you might
want to ask your doctor about it, although
they may not even clue in that it is a
migraine. And maybe not, I get a lot of
tension headaches at that time too, tnsion
headaches being a bit trigger for
migraines naturally. But a severe
tension headache can be difficult to treat
as well, and I think the same thing would
be in order, see a doctor and maybe they
could give you a good antir-inflamitory to
take at that time.
