**raises hand***

Me! I was being tx for migraines for a long time. I have had headaches that I can trace back to around the time I think I started with this whole MS thing. They have gotten better and my MRI has shown some calming in the area that the MD says they should have come from.

None of my MDs have been saying that headaches and MS are connected officially, but all of them say its really common.

Please make sure its not a rebound headache. If you take advil/tylenol/aleeve/asprin everyday for a headache, you can create a rebound effect, and your body will believe that unless you have that everyday fix, its supposed to have a headache. Try going into a med free week. Use cold compresses, massage, and other actions. If you have spastic neck muscles (spasms are common in MS) it can tip over a stress headache, and a muscle relaxer may be helpful for you.

clear as mud?
