Thanks for the responses! One more thing to love about the NGA website. I'm never truly alone.
@LindaTX8 I pack a small cooler every night with two ice packs. He averages two attacks a night. During the day, he's fine unless he takes a nap. As soon as he wakes, the headache comes back. Thanks for the Mayo Clinic link. Lots of good info.
@daylilydreams Doctor did prescribe oxygen, but not nearly in as high a concentration as that recommended by Mayo Clinic. That is something to definitely look into. Encouraging to know they don't last forever. Thanks for the information.
@crawgarden I sure hope it's not pollen and leaves that cause the headaches. We have some kind of pollen, and a variety of leaves falling, at any given time of the year here!
I really appreciate knowing we're "not alone." This is the fourth year for the headaches. He saw a neurologist for three winter seasons, but she moved. Last year, he was referred to another doctor who prescribed some scary narcotics. DH decided to tough it out instead. We keep thinking each year will be the last of them...
