How goes the battle?
I have had nasty headaches on and off since the seventies.
I put them off as being due to allergies but only went to a doctor once.
Some times it felt like some one was driving a nail into my head; as they would hit during non-pollen seasons at times I have no idea what they were but now they are not as severe or common.
I found that sleeping on the floor with a heater blowing directly into my face worked best at times; sleeping elevated with a heating pad helped but not as much.
I would take old prescription pain killers on occasion and oddly after using them they pretty much faded away on that occasion
The one time I did see the doctor after I had them so bad I was staying at dad's house and sleeping on the floor infront of the wall heater.
The doc did not prescribe pain killers as I was still using some very old ones but said if the headache did not stop within a week he was putting me in the hospital for tests.
The went away but I had series of nasty unrelated medical annoyances that year that took up most of the year, go figure.
I have changed my diet slightly, less milk product and more spicy foods but as to why it came and left there were no answers.
About five or so years ago I had, a doctor told me this about a year after it was gone, what he called a deep sinus infection.
The right side of my skull stopping behind the eye and not going below the ear was very sore to the touch on and off for most of a summer.
I did not go to a doctor and it eventually went away but I talked to one of Sharon's doctors once and he said it sounded like afore mentioned problem and that I was fortunate that it went away without treatment.
After that my headaches became less severe and have now become uncommon.
