When I feel good, I tend to do too much. Unfortunately, the headaches don't come on right away so it's hard to recognize where my limits are.

The best solution I've found is to lie down in a dark, quiet place with a cold pack on my head and/or neck. Sleeping helps too, sometimes.

I've been taking a B-complex, vitamin D, and algal DHA daily.

Don't have much other advice than that, but I do know how badly it sucks. Hope you find some relief soon.
