Headache relief
 
I know that we have all talked about it in various threads but just so I can see it all in one place... What have you done to reduce your headaches? What has worked and what hasn't?

Just a quick list of what has not worked...
- you can see my meds in my signature
- I have now done a cranial nerve block
- I have dealt with my neck and continue to do so, I know that I have degenerated c3-4 from previous accidents... new herniation is in c5-6-7 that are pressing on my spinal cord and causing spinal stinosis
- I have done a headache infusion of a steroid, phenergren, and benedryl

Looking for something that I can go to my neurologist with as an idea to make this better... a headache for 6 months straight is getting really old!!!

I hate to suggest it but strong opioids works for me at one point

I would like to go back to work... can't really do that on opioids... but did it shut down the pain channels and therefore settle the headaches permanently?

Cymbalta and Lyrica worked brilliantly for me!

I had a very small doses of opioids and they work. I just didn't think about the headaches as much. I no they are addictive but if you are careful with them they can help. I guess you might want to try the other suggestions first.
