Others here are getting relief from various medications like Topamax and plain old acetaminophen and I'm sure they'll be along to share their experiences. I suggested some of these meds to my neuro - and he just sneered at me. I've got to think you'll have better luck with your doc: the world can't really be big enough to accommodate two a##holes of such enormous proportions.

Like you, I'm on tegretol. How high is your dose? I ask because one of the possible side effects of that drug is HEADACHE!!!!!!

I know it's hard, but hang in there.

hi hock


I have had daily HAs for two years but thankfully they are relieved by laying down ,but very wearing I take strong pain meds if I have to, perhaps you could get referred to a specialist head ache clinic I know there is some in the states


an old friend on another site said this little pearl of wisdom

IF THE DOCTOR DISMISSES YOU !!! DISMISS THE DOCTOR !!!!

but not until you have one with ears
