well depending on what you are taking some meds can give you what is called a rebaound headache. but yeah i have them everyday and i have to take meds for them alot myself

im not on any meds though.

Well i had them all the time before they put me on meds for them. there are alot of things out there that could help you. the first one they put me on was maxalt or something like that.

I have daily chronic migraines with breakthrough migraies. Huh? I have a migraine every day. Then I have breakthrough migarine with the nausea, throwing up, aura sometimes, numbness, etc....... If it isn't the rebound headache I would ask my doc about daily headaches. I had a doc that put me in outpatient and gave me a med-don't remember the name,dhe? and another med.I wish that I could remember the names.-I was hooked up to an iv bag and injections were given to me by the nurse through the iv every 30 minutes. I couldn't make it through all of them. I started freaking out. I had an allergic reaction to it. But, it was suppost to stop the daily headache. I hope that I haven't confused you. Any one help? There are meds that you can take for daily headaches. Talk to your doctor. Have you tried heat or cold? I am no doctor but I have been told that if they usually come around the end of the day it could be tension headaches.

Punkee, the meds he's talking about aren't necessarily meds your doctor would prescribe. Regular OTC meds like Excedrin, Tylenol, etc...when taken near daily can cause rebound headache. Like you said, you pretty much always taken something. Rebound is something to consider. That said rebound is certainly not the whole issue, and you need to address the cause as well.

It is also possible that something in your daily life, whether it is especially stressful right now, or you're in a room under certain lights all day, or you have poor posture at the computer...might be causing it. You definitely need to start investigating triggers. I'll give you a link to a headache diary at the end of this post, but you're going to want to keep extra notes every day about what happened that day. (What were you doing? Where were you when the headache finally hit? Where were you an hour before? Does it hit earlier on any other day?)

Also, you need to go see your doctor, preferably to get a referral to a neurologist. Daily headaches are not normal, and there are many medications you can take. And if you let this go - the migraine cycle is more likely to stick, and your entire body is more open to pain. At this point you are a candidate for preventative medication.

thanks for the suggestions.
i printed the headache diary that celticfife suggested..im going to try that..and see if i can come up with something.
thanks so much.

I have headaches often too. Depakote is what is suppose to help prevent the onset of headaches. I just started on it, feel free to message if you want an update. I would go see a neurologist to make sure other stuff isn't happening, that's who I go to.
