MichelleW: If you wan to know how to get rid of headaches to about one a mont or oess then ask a neuroligist about a diet. The diet mind gave me helps. It sucks but it works. I have no chocolate, lunch meat, peanuts,peanut butter, mademan drinks( sodas),cut back on my coffee, no bananas,and no msg. Try this and see the difference. Let me know how it wprked for you.
