I have suffered headaches for years. I went to the hospital with stroke like symptoms and was told it was just a migraine. They gave me a phenergan drip and ithelped with headache. I started taking dramamine when i felt one coming on and using peppermint oil. The peppermint stick did not work, only the pure peppermint oil found in health stores. I put it on my temples and forehead. Do not get near eyes or it will burn. I also found that my neck was often out of alignment so i see a chiropractor regularly. Sometimes aligning my neck is the only thing that helps. I have gotten tordol shots, but only at the md office so about 5 total shots in 15 years. Try to get a shot instead a Rx for ten, they would be more likely to give it.
I fell and got whiplash this past winter and the headaches were really bad. I was prescribed the fiorecet and it actually helped a lot. This is just what helped me not medical advice. I am also on propanolol/INDERAL NOW. I have alao tried topomax. It helps some.
