It doesn't work all the time, but sometimes. I also have a bottle of T-3 beside the bed, for those extra tough ones. <BR/><BR/>Talk to your doctor, see if there isn't something stronger that you can try. <BR/><BR/>Good luck!!Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698364720372038332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25102529.post-1147064748639645562006-05-07T23:05:00.000-06:002006-05-07T23:05:00.000-06:00Just because your headache isn't called 'migraine'...Just because your headache isn't called 'migraine' doesn't mean it isn't of sufficient intensity to warrant strong pain medication. OTC meds don't work for me either, and I wouldn't expect them to work for you. I believe that chronic tension-type headache is about as intense as transformed migraine is, and you deserve the same level of pain control as someone with chronic migraine. What does your dr say about that?<BR/><BR/>The problem is actually getting that from your doctor. It can be very difficult sometimes, and not only because they may underestimate the severity of your pain. Sometimes they are just reluctant to give us stronger pain meds. <BR/><BR/>You've mentioned before that muscle relaxants are sometimes helpful for you--do they actually treat the headache? Have you ever asked your doctor for a stronger pain medication?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
