Headache: Medications
built 255 days ago
Some headache cases are "one minute wonders" while others require more diligence and skill. Overall, the clinical results are impressive, especially when one considers that neither drugs nor negative side effects are part of the picture. This is not to suggest... that one alter their use of medications. That is for one's physician to decide. It IS to suggest, however, that dedicated healing professionals need to take a serious look at what is happening here.

Once a cluster period has started, the person may be able to prevent the actual headache by taking certain medication prophylactically. Other therapies include avoiding afternoon naps and alcoholic beverages. Sunglasses are recommended to be worn in glaringly bright light.

If you use pain medications more than three days per week, you need to be aware of something called "analgesic rebound headache". Chronic use of pain killers can cause you to have MORE headaches (an increase in the number of headaches).
