I know many, many of you suffer from these. I'm having an especially bad run of them... going on a week now, with neck pain as well. Ibuprofen wasn't touching them, so my doc prescribed Dilaudid, which I find I'm having to take 1.5 to even get the edge off, and the pain never seems to go completely away. A week ago I took 2, had complete pain relief, but to be frank, it also got me high, which I did not like.

Anyone have any tips or tricks for what helps? Homeo/natural remedies would be a bonus, but I'm willing to try anything.

Thanks.

If I had lyme when I was in my late 20s, I had chronic headaches with a lot of neck and shoulder stiffness and nothing helped until I went through constitutional homeopathic treatments. I haven't had many since then, even though I have the neck stiffness again. Homeopathy is prescribed based on your own symptoms, so what worked for me may not be the remedy you need. That made so much sense to me when I first learned about homeopathy. I got lucky and had an excellent homeopath back then. I'm going to try to contact him again and see if he's still treating people. He has been teaching at a college for 10+ years, so he doesn't have a lot of time to treat people.

I hope others on here have some other suggestions for you. Good luck!

I have 'normal' headaches 24/7, for about 17 years now - I have migraine attacks with auras and I just discovered what cluster headaches are...

When I feel that the 'normal' headache is coming from my neck, I go see my osteopath once or twice, to get the pressure off my neck. For me personally, it doesn't take the headache away, but it makes it far more tolerable and you will feel much more comfortable.
