I was prescribed Naproxen. Tylenol does nothing for me, but Advil usually does a little more, though it never gets rid of it completely. I generally use the Advil when I have the migraine type headache, though. I don't want to get dependent on it.. or have the rebound headaches.

The first doctor I went to told me not to take anything for the headaches so up until about three weeks ago I hadn't been taking anything. I take the extra strength migraine Advil when I have a lot of pain.

I used to spend almost two hours a day until July when I got a car.. but would it take 6 months for side effects to come from that? That's the only thing in my life that has changed lifestyle wise in the past while. I plan on walking/biking a lot more to see if maybe that helps.


I never really thought of caffeine... I did read that when I looked around on google though ahah. Though what does a caffeine headache feel like? I already have like three coffees a day (normally two iced caps and a coffee)... so I don't know if I could really have any more.. but pills would be different I suppose.

I've missed work four times since January and twice it was because I was sick from what I assume to be a migraine.. it didn't feel like a migraine to me but my doctor said it was. The headaches that he says are migraines don't really feel like them to me.. though I had one yesterday that was actually throbbing so I know that one was. I have heard that migraines hurt more lying down? None of my headaches hurt when I'm lying down, though occasionally I will wake up and my head will literally ache (mostly the muscles at the back of my head)
