Triptan Overuse Rebound Headaches
What do you guys know about triptan overuse headaches?
I just learned of them from a nurse at my neurologist’s office.

However, I had no idea that by taking the prescribed medication as directed, I could actually be causing more migraines. But if I don’t take them, I’m in excruciating pain and am… read more

What Are The Treatments For New Daily Persistent Headaches. The Description Of Them Is Far More Like What Happened To Me. How Is It Treated

I haven't been able to go to bed without ice packs on the front, back and top of my head and I have to change them periodically throughout the night as they thaw and the pain will wake me up. I have a genetic condition… read more
