Tips to Manage Debilitating Headaches


Many of us experience the undelightful headaches that come with chronic widespread pain.
My migraines can last up to 3 days. They are caused either by tension in my shoulder/neck muscles, causing them to become as hard as rock, or by my hormonal cycle (PMS). 
I’ve tried taking Maxalt wafers but they din’d do a thing, so I take strong painkillers (Mersyndol) instead. Mersyndol makes the pain bearable, although I do become dizzy and lethargic from the pills. 
A heated pillow around my shoulders eases some of the muscle tension, and I find that rubbing lavender essential oil on the temples and at the base of my neck is very soothing.
