Headaches....

[accoustic_girl]

I've always had headaches....all my life. At first, they thought it was my eyes. When I got those fixed, they thought it was my stress level. Since that has been up and down since then, now my mom thinks it's my hormones. I don't take BC, so I don't think that could be the culprit

Why does preventative medication preclude you from taking something to treat a headache that pops up? I call shenanigans!

I thought that if I was on a preventative medicine, I couldn't take the vasoconstrictors anymore....did I misread it (you're the expert)? If I'm wrong, I won't be as apprehensive about it.

I think its a very limited scope of conflict, but I'll leave it to tha Doc. My experience is peripheral through my sister...

I'll have to ask next time I go see him. I'm not exactly thrilled that I had to change doctors (mine left the practice) and I didn't get a fuzzy feeling from him the last time I had to go. So, I guess I'll wait till next time to ask about it.

have a friend who has chronic migraines and keeps a headache journal.

basically she records *everything* about it. Time, duration, attempted treatments, what she was doing when it started, recent food and drink, intensity, "location" of the pain, type of pain (throbbing, dull, sharp, etc)

Cool, that's what I was thinking of doing too. Good to know I'm on the right track. :)
