It could be something in your diet that you are allergic to.
Have you used any toxic substances in or around your house that could be causing your headaches...ie; pesticides,cleaning products...even things you have used in the past that didn't bother you before could be bothering you now.
You may want to see an allergist to be tested
I would also see a nutritionist...Hope this helps and you feel better soon!

Try the ice packs again, but place them on the back of your neck. (In a towel or something, of course...no freezer burn wanted)

get a second opinion from another doctor

Check you blood pressure. If high, bring it down through diet and medication.

Headaches can be caused for many reasons. Maybe its stress? Try to forget about some things, just take it easy. Take a warm bath, maybe a few ibprofen(they always seem to help me) Maybe its sleeping habits? Try getting into a routine for sleeping. Maybe its food habits? Maybe your not getting what you need for your daily intake of food? Try eating right, but eating good for a few days & see if that helps. Maybe your worrying about things or your hungry or over tired.

Just relax, take it easy, lie in a dark room, relax, & take some ibprofen(i cant guarntee they will work for you though, just try)

Get the fact that your head hurts, off your mind & maybe that will help.


I dont understand why none of the things that you did havent worked, but I can say, atleast, you could try what I suggested, & hopefully you'll get better.


Hope I helped!

Good luck.

Drink a Mountain Dew (with or without sugar). Jolt your body with caffeine. Also, try Excedrin Migraine. It has a combination of aspirin, caffeine and acetaminophen (another name for Tylenol).

If I tried all those things and I still had a headache I would go in the garage and get me a sledge hammer and hit my head as hard as I could. I bet I would go to sleep for a while..whenI woke up it would be gone!! No, here is what I would do . Since you have the pills. Take 2 percocets, get a cool cloth, go in your room and make it as dark as possible.
You should have already taken the pills, put the cool cloth over your forehead, Lay down and try to sleep.Ore just lay there din the quit and dark room.Maybe put on a relaxation tape.It should go away in a couple hours. I'll be praying for you, I know how those headaches are. They are terrible...
