Honey i thik you should check that out. Seriously.\n\nI was going through the same thing and they did a CT scan and it came out negative to any tumors, they told me that it seemed that i suffered of chronic tension migraines. And i was prescribed zefran for my nausea. \n\nMigraines or tension headaches are due to blood clots in the brain and when the blood cant travel around the brain the headaches begin. And just so you know, migraines never go away, they just die down for a while until ANYTHING triggers it and then you begin the painful expirience.\n\nPS: If its migraines, concentrate on the things you do or the things you eat that may trigger the headaches. \n\nFrom expirience, check that out.\n\nMargret Diana Li Diaz Fley

Hi. I can relate. I am a brain tumor survivor and I know how bad migraines can really be. Whats worked for me is the eucolyptus and spearmint all natural headache relief available at Bath and Body Works. Also, if available have someone massage your temples while you close your eyes and relax. Prescriptions don't work for some of us. Hope this helps. \n\nGood luck and best wishes,\n\nChris

No. But the things that make you prone to headaches are hereditary.\n\nTerry

It could just be the air. Eventually you will adapt to whatever changes the changes may be. Drink bottled water if you are concerned about the water, or boil it for a minimum of one minute. Know your limit for alcohol. If it has nothing to with alcohol and you are drinking plenty of bottled water it should go away. Maybe you can take a closer look at where you are living, check to make sure there is no mold anywhere because mold has a way of hiding in remote areas. If you are really concerned, go talk to a doctor. Hopefully, it won't cost you too much since you are in a foreing country. If this persists for many months, I highly recomend you going to a doctor. If the doctor says there is nothing wrong I would also get a second or third opinion. I only say this because some doctors are stupid. I had one friend who suffered from severe migrains and he kept going to his doctor about it. He even suspected it could be cancer since he was a heavy smoker, the doctor said he was fine so he just put up with it. Not until he was on his honeymoon in Hawaii did he get a severe seizure,  and the doctors saw that he had cancer all throught his brain and body. The doctors were shocked that it hadn't been detected by the previous doctor he kept going to. Although, the doctors gave him two months to live he lived for two years more, enduring endless chemo. Had the doctor taken his migrains more seriously, he could have started chemo way sooner before it had spread way too much. Now, your headaches could just be simple non-threatning headaches, but it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out. If this goes on for a long time and the doctor thinks nothing of it, go to another doctor. Try not to become too dependant on pain killers.

I have suffered migrains since I was 12 now 35. I know what you are dealing with. My mother has never had a headache. She when i was younger, thought I was trying to get out of going to school, etc. She never took it seriously. Now, I think she feels bad. Good Luck to you.

You can't be sure that it's a migraine. It could be a cluster headache, those are more common in men than women. They are very painful, knife-like as you say. \nDon't waste any time. See a doctor, who can prescribe you medicine that you need to be able to handle life.

To go and have too much fun is RIGHT up my alley! I like a little girlfriend action myself.. then Im having LOTS of fun! As far as your headache goes, take two excedrin for migraines and you'll feel better in 20 mins.

Hi, This is an easy one. What you are suffering from is a migraine. They sometimes come with a warning prior to the headache, like strange vision or numbness down one side of the hand and face, but everyone is different and many people will not get any warning. Vomiting is another thing that you may or may not get with this condition. I too have suffered from the age of about 9 and know how painful these things are. I now get prescribed a codeine based prescription that your doctor must prescribe. This is the strongest form of pain killer. There are various types you can try depending on the country you are from. I hope this helps

sure i've heard of it.  but i'm in med school so that's expected.  however, my gramma did have it a while back.  apparently, it's probably just about the most awful thing you can suffer from.  you're constanly sick and dizzy no matter what you do.  i'd probly kill myself if i got it.

The best thing to do is to determine the cause of the headache/migraine. As someone pointed out, dehydration can cause severe headaches. So can certain diseases, such as endometriosis, tumors, lupus, etc. It would be good to see a doctor to eliminate the more serious possibilities, and to make sure that your diet and exercise are healthy so that you don't have to over medicate yourself. There are also good homeopathic migraine treatments available in health stores.

I have them too. They're called aura migraines and they can be devastating. Mine have lessened with age though. I would see a doc if they are coming back all of a sudden.

I have suffered migraines since I was 10 and I am 48.  Try 2 Tylenol and 1 benedryl only if not allergic.  Put a warm compress across the forehead and lay down in a dark area.  After a couple of hours check on her and see if it has subsided.  If she continues to have the headache she needs to go to the hospital.  Headaches don't always happen because of her menstrual cycle.  Stress can cause this.  As far as a tumor don't worry unless a doctor  tells you its a tumor.  Get checked anyway.

I am a long standing sufferer of migraines and what u describe certainly sounds like one (but go to see your doctor to get it checked out). There are a number of prescriptions you can have but i have recently seen a neurologist and he has suggested pure oxygen. 5 minutes of pure oxygen apparently gets rid of the migraine. I am yet to try it but thought id pass this info on. You can buy oxygen in canisters online. very popular for hangovers aswell. chocolate/alcohol and stress are the main factors for my migraines which i now try to avoid. hope this info is of help to you.

Stay away from stressful situations.  Don't watch TC in the dark or stay up too late.  Sleep is important.\n\nIt sounds like you may be getting migrains and you may need to seek mediacal attention.  What you should do in the mean time is STAY in the dark, with a cool face cloth.  \n\nEat a well balanced diet, eat things in moderation, and include exercise in your daily routine.\n\nI am a previous sufferer of headaches.  Good luck!

I had constant, horrible migraines at that age as well. I did notice that drinking plenty of water helped somewhat because they weren't as debilitating when I happened to drink plenty of water that day.\n\nApparently there still is no known cause or cure for them, however the good news is that they go away on their own. I personally got them again around my early twenties after not having migraines for a few years. I wish I could remember the name of the medication I was given this last time they came back because it worked. I remember it was especially for migraines and that the doctor told me to take it as soon as I felt like one was coming and to take it with a glass of cold water. He also gave me another medication in case I didn't take the previous one on time. \n\nLooking back, I think my migraines might have had a lot to do with stress and conflict in the environment you're in. Is your son doing ok at school? Has anything been bothering him for a while? Has he seen a doctor? It's a little scary what the effect of a migraine has not only on your whole body, but in your brain. For example, I never had seizures but apparently you're more succeptible to them if you're having a migraine or something like that. \n\nMigraines can also be a symptom of other things, so hopefully you've already taken him to the doctor, although it's probably nothing serious. Get the poor thing a fan, ear plugs, and a pair of sleep shades. Keep a trash can nearby the bed in case he needs to throw up. A little carafe of water next to his bed wouldn't hurt, unless he likes tea. Chamomille is nice.
