Your daily migraine is not your typical headache, and if you are ever going to get migraine help for it you are going to have to figure out what is causing your head to hurt.
I do know this, if you are over doing it on migraine pain medicine, or some other prescription medicine, which you can, there is a good change that's giving you a headache every day.
On the last page we talked about this. Like one pain management Doctor told my wife, "it's not going to be easy to stop taking so much pain medicine".
Once you quit your migraine will hurt worse for some time, until the level of your own natural pain killers are restored.
And once again I will suggest that you go to a neurologist to rule out anything dangerous going on, that would be causing your daily headaches.
Some Other Causes Of Chronic Daily Headaches
I doubt that this is your problem with your daily headaches, and we certainly hope not.
But you could have transformed migraine from your natural progression, tumor, leaky aneurysm, inflammatory disease, or even an infection, so that is the reason you need to be checked.
But the use of many different medications, if your Doctor has you on these, including the most common triptans, ergotamines, analgesics, and opioids could very well be what's wrong.
Once again, there are Doctors, and there are "good headache Doctors".
If by some change yours is getting frustrated because he can't get your migraines to quite down, and he is prescribing pain pills, run and find another good headache specialist.
Ask around. Chances are, someone will know someplace to go for that daily headache.
Here Is The Definition Of A Rebound Headache.
The rebound effect, which can cause your head to hurt all the time is the tendency of a medication, when discontinued, to cause a return of the symptoms being treated to be more severe than before.
Take something for your head today, and in turn, it causes a headache tomorrow.
This is where you find yourself with a daily migraine.
The symptoms will be worse after the medication is withdrawn than before it was used.
Medications with a known rebound effect can be withdrawn gradually, or in conjunction with another medication which does not show a rebound effect.
Here's How To Get Your Headache Going Your Way
If you have frequent headaches or migraine attacks, and not yet on something, you should be considered as a potential candidate for preventive medications.
Don't take more, and more painkillers or other rebound causing medications.
Preventive medications are taken on a daily basis.
Some patients may require preventive medications for many years, while others may require them for only a relatively short period of time, such as six months.
Effective preventive medications have been found to come from many classes of medications including anticonvulsants, antidepressants, antihypertensives, and antihistamines.
Some effective preventive medications include Elavil, Depakote, Topamax, and Inderal.
You may be already taking these, and are still having a daily migraine. But are you still taking very much pain medicine?
Until you get your head pain under control here is a very good site that you can use to
find information about your migraines.
We hope you can figure out what is causing your head to hurt every day, Good luck
