Anyone got a headache cure? 18 days...

[HopeAndDriftWood]

I’ve had a headache for 18 days. It doesn’t always last all day, but I wake up with it. It’s in my forehead, and the top of my skull. Nothing seems to help... I’ve tried ginger tea, painkillers, migralieve, drinks.

I talked to my GP today, just to see if there was anything they could do; and to make sure it wasn’t linked to me coming off the pill this month.. she said it won’t be pill related due to the time in my cycle, but that they can’t see me and I should go to A&E if I’m worried. Which seems stupid; because it is a headache, even if it’s a relentless awful one.

Is there anything else I can try? It’s not a migraine, I don’t think. No sickness/eye pain/noise sensitivity.

Back & neck massage
Swimming
Walking
Make sure your blood sugar levels are ok

If the back massage doesn't shift it then an osteopath should be able to.

Yes, I would look at posture, massage, stretches etc. - just to rule out the obvious stuff. I have terrible headaches at the moment from hunching over working at home. I am also not drinking enough fluids.

Could it be your eyesight? When did you last visit the opticians?

Do you have a carbon monoxide monitor?

That Forehead rub stuff in a tube is quite effective.

Finally I would be remiss to not point out that Covid often presents with a headache.

Hope you feel better soon.

Pillow? Too high or too Low?
Do you hunch your shoulders up when you feel stressed? Remember to relax them down?
Emmett method/Bowen technique, both very gentle and put your neck and shoulders and spine into alignment. May be difficult to find anyone at present but I found this invaluable.
Deep shoulder massage.
Gentle temple massage.
Could it be Covid (sorry)?

Ring GP. Headaches can have so many causes. I've suffered with them for years and only thing that works is sumatripan
