Natural remedies for headaches?

I have most of those happening to me, and I don't deal with migraines.

Oh my goodness! Amy, that link! I'm very blessed to have (mostly) understanding people in my life. The only one of those slides that I wouldn't really agree with is #10...I don't mind at all when people offer suggestions to me - and I've suffered from migraines my entire adult life. I've done as much research as I can, but hey - if something works for someone else, I'm MORE than willing to try it, if it's safe, and I appreciate their concern.

I was thinking the same thing when I read that one. I can see how some people might get sick of chronic suggestions, but most people who have suffered from these will try just about anything that's safe, like you were saying.

I had no idea that the government offers disability to those with migraines! I can understand why, though. It really is completely debilitating. If it's a mild one, I can sometimes get through work with it, but often it knocks me unconscious with no warning. And if you're getting them on a regular basis, what company is going to keep an employee who is regularly missing work?

That came as a shock to me too! But I agree with you, it makes sense! These things knock a person completely flat!

I'm still having a few issues... Last Saturday I noticed that I had some swollen lymph nodes in the back of my head and neck. They are still swollen today (1 week later).. I went to the Dr. last week and she can't seem to find anything wrong with me.... She said maybe the swollen nodes and headache could be related to a dental problem. I hope that is all it is, I would be SOOO relieved... Also, the hubby and I are planning on starting a family very soon so she prescribed me prenatal vitamins.. I'm unsure if I should start these now, or wait until conception.. Any help / advice would be appreciated.

I'm sorry to hear you are still having some issues. Hopefully you feel better soon. I have never had children, so I'm not sure when the best time to start taking the vitamins.

I had worse migraine headache, so badly. That I was so nauseated, I threw up my lunch. I had other migraine on Christmas Day, then this pass Friday. I sometimes will take pain medication for the headache. But, didn't work out. So, I read about headaches. Someone left a comment saying, put the ice pack behind your neck, by hairline. While laying down. So, I did that. I lay down on my bed, put the cold ice pack behind my neck. (The ice pack was in pillow case.) My headache went away. When I woke up from my nap. I had slight headache. Then, went complete away in the evening. From now on, if I have a headache. Is get a ice pack put it behind my neck, by hairline. I guess, I was doing it wrong. Cause, usually, I'll put the ice pack on my forehead. Sometimes the headache won't go away until late evening.
