I have had headaches since I was little. I went to the doctor and they only told us to go see a neurologist. It took years before my mom would take me to one but I finally convinced her because I couldn't take the pain anymore. The neurologist put me on blood pressure medicine because it is supposed to help headaches even though I don't have high blood pressure--I don't know if it really worked anyway. She also gave me other medicines such as imitrex and flonase but nothing seemed to work. Finally, my neurologist told me to start doing biofeedback, which is basically a relaxing exercise. It seems to help keep the headaches away. I hardly get really bad headaches anymore which is a surprise because I used to have one everyday. Now, when I get a really bad one, I take Excedrin Migraine--it is the only medicine I have found that gets rid of my headache. I hope this helps.
