How does a Transformed Migraine start? Find out

Some headache researchers believe that over the counter pain medicine for your migraines is not the best migraine treatnent for migraines, and is the biggest cause for migraines to transform to daily chronic headaches.

And the truth be known they may be right.

Anyone that has headaches, tension or migraines, is going to take pain medicine for the pain. When your head starts hurting (and there is a start) something over the counter works.

Then as time goes by you have to take more to help with the pain.

Unless you have a type of migraine that scares you, it may take a while for you to go to a doctor. He will make the call (we hope it is the right one) as to what type of headache you have, or the dreaded one, "migraines".

You may already know this.

If some of your family members have headaches you probably are pretty wise to what is going on. More than likely you will be prescribed something stronger for your head because what you are taking just doesn't help.

And make no mistake this pain medicine can cause rebound headaches to.

And by this time you may have a transformed migraine.

Do you have a dull to moderate pain that goes on in to severe migraines occasionally? Read this page to see if you are triggering your migraines. Something in that page may be the culprit.

Follow me on this.You eat something that makes your head hurt, then you have to take something to help your migraine pain, and that in turn gives you rebounds, or transformed migraine.

That may not be it, but it only takes a minute to read that page to see it you have a connection. If not you haven't lost anything.

One thing to note.

There has not been "ONE" report of anyone getting better from rebound, or chronic daily headaches without stopping the pain medicine that caused it.

It just won't happen. But this may not be your case.

Did you just have episodic migraines that gradually, over a period of years, went to a transformed migraine, that is a chronic daily headache?

In order for you to qualify for having a transformed headache do you have,

#(1)Headaches over half of the month, lasting at least four hours a day.

#(2)Have you had episodic (occasional) migraine headaches in the past?,

#(3)Is your migraines not as severe, but the frequency of your headaches increased?

#(4)Is your migraines now daily, or near daily?

Here's a page on an unusual headache.

I think a transformed migraine ccould be this headache that no one knows much about it, but it is a chronic daily headache. It's called Hemicrania Continua

And one more headache that is worth reading about is occipital neuralgia.

This may not be the case, but a transformed headache can have either one of these behind it.

This came from a very highly recommended headache specialist that my wife is now going to.

You may be at risk of your migraines transforming if these apply to you.

#(1)Did you ever have a head injury?

#(2)Are you overweight or snore?

#(3)Do you take a lot of pain medicine to help the pain?

#(4)Have you had headaches for years?

#(5)Do you have to much stress?

You can easily educate yourself on all of this with a simple book, or books.

The transformed migraine is hard to figure out sometimes. A headache specialist will have to part the weeds to find the cause of the pain, and apply the right treatment.
