Hi Everyone,

Awhile back, my neuro prescribed me Topomax for the prevention of migraine headaches but I'm not sure that what I have can be classified as migraines.

Since my concussion, I've had strange feelings in my head that I'm trying to understand. They don't really seem like the headaches I've had in the past. The feelings that I get vary between a dull ache, brain numbness, pulsating sensations, and pressure from behind my eyes (along with the usual light sensitivity). The feelings are varied, but occur almost everyday. The feelings are subtle and there is not a lot of intense pain. But, they usually are accompanied by feelings of fatigue and irritability.

Would these feelings be considered headaches? If so, what type of headaches?

Lastly, I'm wondering if anyone out there has tried taking magnesium, B-2, and feverfew as an alternative to medications. I've read that a lot of people have found relief from headaches after taking these supplements and unlike the medications, there are no side effects. (It can take up to 2-4 months of daily doses to start working.)

Can anyone share their experiences with supplements or medications to prevent headaches?

Thanks.

Don
