Help with chronic headaches?!
Question: Help with chronic headaches!?
Okay, so I have seen 2 doctors since march 16th when I started having this terrible headache!. Sometimes it lets up but never fully goes away!. A doctor felt the need for me to be homebound out of school (for the rest of the year) but gave me no pain medicine as the migraine medicine was not helping!. I have been extremely tired all the time, sleep sometimes, but find it hard because of pain!. I am in constant pain!. Does anyone have any coping ideas!?
I know nothing about what I should expect from my headaches or what could be causing them!. I am kinda worried!. I had a catscan and dont have a tumor!.!.!.but could it be something developing!?
ugh!. I am just so tired and stressed!. Please help!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

The organic loose leaf variety of peppermint tea is also a great choice to eliminate a headache!. Simply put 2 - 3 teaspoons of the herb into a teapot and top with boiling water and let brew for 15 - 20 minutes!. Peppermint tea is also a good tonic for an acid tummy and will lift your mood and spirits without being a stimulant !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. organic is the best way to go as the essential oils in it are so rich, the commercial varieties have had so much of the goodness pulverised from them they could never possibly be used for therapeutic purposes!. ?

Water, water, water is what you need to stay hydrated hun!. At least 2 - 3 litres per day!. Hey, you need at least 2 litres per day just to maintain aspiration (to breath)!! Headaches could be due to dehydration ~ other symptoms of dehydration are puffy bags under your eyes, dark circles under your eyes, headaches and migraines, constipation, bloating and cramps, inability to think clearly ?
Also try to cut back on dehydrating drinks such as coffee, tea, sodas and soft drinks and alcohol (if you drink any) as these will not only dehydrate you terribly but also rob you of your precious B complex of vitamins ?
A deficiency in vitamin B3 !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. never buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually, as they work best as a group, so buy them as a whole ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 andB12 !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. will produce negative personality changes in a person and will also produce headaches and migraines, diahorrea, depression, itching skin!.
Eat more foods rich in this vitamin ie ~ fish, lean meats, whole wheat products, brewer's yeast, liver, eggs, roasted peanuts, the white meat of poultry, avocadoes, dates, figs and prunes ~ a handfull of steamed chicken does the trick for me when i have a cracking headache?
Foods rich in vitamin B3 will also eliminate canker sores and often times bad breath too!. it will give you healthier looking skin, increase circulation and reduce high blood pressure!. It is necessary for a healthy nervous system and brain functions!.
iburofen and Tylenol will do a fine job of ripping you off of your essential complex of B vitamins !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. hence, they may work to start with but fail to actually cure the cause and only serve to bandaid the symptoms!.

A quick way to check if you are iron deficient is to pull down the bottom lid of your eyelids and check the color!.

Eat more foods rich in iron if this is the case ie ~
Pork, beef, liver, red meat, clams, dried peaches, farina, egg yolks, oysters, nuts, beans, asparagus, molasses and oatmeal!.
Iron assimilates more effectively when consumed with foods rich in vitamin C ie; citrus fruits such as lemons, limes and oranges, tomatoes and potatoes, leafy green vegies and red and green peppers!.
Take a multi Bcomplex supplement too to support a healthy neural, immune and digestive system!. Get one including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 folate etc!.!.!.!. as they all work best as a group?
Vitamin B6 & B12 (part of the B complex) are needed for the effective assimilation of iron, as are calcium and vitamin D !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. without them you will never absorb your iron supplies effectively ?
