Crwstar:
You make a good point. I have lucked out because my neurologist has headaches and is therefore more than willing to examine all the discplines when it comes to headaches. Ideally, you might start with a neurologist-specialist who is open to working with other discplines. Some doctors might not be overly cooperative, but they might not be close minded either. You could also go to a nutritionist or a hollistic doctor at the same time. I really like the idea of keeping a food journal. There are books at the libary that explain how to do it and there are even books specific to foods and headache. BTW...nothing says that you can't work closely with your doctor and on your own, and carefuly observation and record...figure out your likely food triggers. I recall one time I complained to my doctor that I couldn't chew gum w/o getting a h/a. His response "don't chew gum anymore!." I thought it made sense and it was funny too!

Also...IMHO...you can probably get away with taking an Exedrine as an emergency measure once in a blue moon. That means perhaps 2 times a YEAR. Everyone is different...but it has to be clearly and obviously the great exception.

Mrs. D: LOL! I am reading your post while suffering from a h/a as the result of the Green Tea I drank last night. I knew in my heart it was a possibility...but it was soooo yummy and I read that it might have thermogenic properties. So....I took that chance. WRONG MOVE. Perhaps, like you mentioned, the warm weather combined makes it even worse. And no doubt, the stress I have already had this morning was yet another trigger. I think that makes sense. I am a big believer in multiple triggers often being what really does us in....
