im new here. has anyone found a pain relief from chronic headaches?

I have suffered from chronic headaches most of my life and there was an underlying factor. I use to have chronic sinus infections. I would take the meds and within 2-3 weeks they would be back. Then migraines were almost daily taking away any life I had. Come to find out it was Lymes Disease.
Do you think you have another medical condition that could be causing it? I take Maxalt for my migraines but when I had daily headaches they put me on muscle relaxers to help keep my neck muscles loose. I wish you luck. I know how debilitating and such a pain they can be. God Bless

ive been treated for sinus, tmj, tension, everything possible. i was in a car accident 6 years ago that permanently messed up my neck but the headaches have been for about 20 years. plus i had a hysterectomy 15 years ago and am on hormone replacement. we tried synthetic thinking that the hormones were the culprit but no luck. between the neck pain and the headaches i feel like im fighting a losing battle. im suuposed to see a headache specialist but i have to wait for all the drs to co-ordinate referrals and such.but thank you for your answer. maybe im not as alone as i thought. bless yuo

Hi and welcome.
I get back headaches due to neck pain and use over the counter panadol and that helps me out.
