Hi - I am a 38 year old mental health nurse who at present is suffering from chronic daily headaches.

Hope to find out more about the condition here as my gp is useless!

Welcome to Neuro Talk!! So sorry to hear about the headaches. We do have a forum just for headaches...below is the link...http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/forum32.html

Hi Woody ---about 10 yrs ago i had daily headaches for several years. My G.P said I think there rebound headaches --from taking 2 much advil. Since I was getting them for several years prior. She told me I dont care how bad the headaches get no advil for 10days. Trust me that week was hellish but it worked----I do get headaches and I take advil when i do but there not nearly as often. Not sure how long this been going on for you but I thought I share my experience. Best wishes --also another thought have you had vision tested??

Welcome to Neuro Talk. My neighbor just finished two weeks in a hospital learning bio feedback. Her headaches are over 8 years, and she was on fentanal. It is amazing what this did for her. Her pain has been reduced from an 8 to a 3, in just a few weeks. Detox went well, and she has hope that this type of therapy continues to help. Just an idea, as I know from my neighbors experience how bad those headaches can be. Again welcome, and we will be here to support you. ginnie
