I have a lot of headaches, I'm talking every day. Not all of them are migraines, some are tension headaches. I can't get the medications I used to use, so now I'm stuck with Excedrin Migraine which probably isn't good for me to take every day. I really need to find a new treatment. I'm really looking for opinions about the Daith piercing. People I've met in person say it works great.… read more

I only get migraines when barometric pressure drops, usually before a storm. If I don't drink coffee or something with caffeine right away, nothing helps at all. Does anyone have good remedies for this kind of migraine?

Those even closest to us, can often react with a sigh, eye rolling or smirk, and comments of total misunderstanding, of where we’re coming from. Yet in reality we are coping best we can.
