New Daily Persistent Headache Support Group

What sort of things have you found over the years to help decrease the pain or help you cope with yours? I have found a hat and sunglasses helps me since I am light sensitive and I keep earplugs in my purse in case things get too loud for me.

My neuro and I have also found some meds that help reduce the pain for me (topamax and seroquel are my best meds) though it seems that everyone responds very individually to meds so we can't predict what will help any given person.

Feel free to explore and ask any questions you have and definitely share you experience.

You certainly have had a headache for a long time I'm sure for most of your life the doctors have had no idea what to do for you, it seems headache treatment has come along way in the last few years! What kind of things have you tried over the years?

My headache is nearing 3 years now so I think you are incredibly brave to have been dealing with it for so long I have found Cymbalta and Seroquel useful in lowering my pain. But I also use things like icepacks and earplugs to help me out.

I hope to talk to you more soon, and please ask any questions you have.
