The interesting thing is that on both of the following days, I didn't have my usual waking sore neck/ headache, and was able to go until nearly 1pm before needing to medicate.
This is most unusual as I generally have to take something either first thing or mid morning, and even then can't function.
On my two good mornings I've able to do a few things that were not possible with my usual sore head.
I'll do a trial now to see if in fact the Melatonin is having this positive effect.
Have read a bit about it and there are studies which have indicated it can help with migraines and cluster headaches.
Fingers crossed!
Hi Peter. I'm Beth, new to this forum, with ON headaches. Is that what you have? I am glad to hear that Melatonin may be helping...what other OTC remedies have you tried? I am on strong meds now...but hate the side effects. I hope the melatonin helps!!!
