Excedrin Migraine worked wonders for me. Caffeine also offered relief. My headaches were on top of the scalp. I hope you find somthing that works.

Other than the obvious NSAIDS I notice my headaches happen more frequently when I have eaten something I shouldnt have (gluten, chocolate, etc).

Based on something I read recently it seems Asprin can complement the action of Fluconazole and I did have this work a few times when the headache was yeast related.

Caffeine plus ibuprofen, peppermint oil topically where the pain is, ice packs on head/neck, wear sunglasses, imitrex if its migraines, Meyers cocktails, magnesium ingested and Epsom salt soaks, cannabis, sleep. I get lots of migraines, regular headaches, nerve pain in my head.

I don't have Lyme (parent of Lyme patient). I do get migraines though and when Excedrin Migraine lost effectiveness I looked for alternatives. I've found CBD (I tried used Bluebird Botanicals Brain Concentrate) takes the edge off and I can also then use less NSAIDS/Excedrin. I also only used a few drops and got relief.

Good luck!

Ice cold on my head was my best temporary relief. Either swimming in the lake or a cold shower. I could only do a salt water pool. I could not stand chlorine.

Treatment, and mine all went away - thank the Lord!

Horribly painful.

Interesting more and more people attribute their head pain to candida and not lyme or a co infection

Alternative breathing through nostrils. Keep mouth closed and cover opposite nostril.

Left - Intake
Right - Exhale
Right - Intake
Left - Exhale
Left - Intake

And so forth.

Try it, hopefully it helps the headache or at least reduces stress.

1000Daisies is on the right track. I suspect candida for the type of headache you described in the other post. When candida is an issue, phenylalanine can be a problem. Any phenylalanine containing food would increase headaches. This is a major problem if candida is an issue because carbohydrates increase candida growth and phenylalanine is in many of the foods we like to eat. There's not much left to eat. I would try an experiment of writing down everything I ate in a log and correlating it to the headaches. I'd go back 3 days to see what the causative agents were. Something you are eating is increasing histamine formation and by eating foods lower in carbs and phenylalanine, you may be able to lower the pressure in the CSF. When candida is involved, I have yet to see a case where some other pathogen wasn't involved.
