| both me and my mother suffer from chronic headaches, but we both have different causes. my doctor told me that whenever i got a headache, i had to rate the pain from 1-10, write down the time of day it started, how long it lasted, how much medication you took, and any other pains i felt at that time. i realized that i was getting a headache from not having enough caffeine (i had given up having my daily cup of coffee...i was addicted to caffeine!) my mom's problem is completely different...she gets horrible headaches before her period comes. if you're not already, you should write down information about your headaches so the next time you go to the doctor, you can provide him with more details than just saying you have headaches. |
