Has anyone had serious headaches that were treated successfully?

Question:

I have had headaches for about 5 years. I have to lay down and take medicene to relieve them, which screws everything up. They seem to come more frequently during inclement weather. They are always on my right side of my head and usually start with pain and swelling inside the right nostril. There is pain behind the eye and along the right "temple" between the eye and above the cheek. I am thinking these may be the result hitting my head and/or infection from a deviated septum. Allergy testing has not been very definite. Brain scan and CT scan are normal. I just started taking buuterbar and reducing sugar intake again, but dietary restrictions have never stopped the serious headaches. For prevention, I completely stopped dairy for about 2 years or more, tried low fat, low protein, fishoil, vitamins, antihistamines, a beta-blocker (nadalol), decongestants, and nasal irrigation. After attacks begin: high and cold packs, Relpax (tryptan), roll on jell, magnets. Thanks. Reward for success.

My migranes were initially treated successfully with the medicine known as "Inderol". Over the years, I've had to switch to a different antihypertensive and dropped the Inderal. Have not had a typical migrane in years. I do occasionally have the visual aura that used to signal the onset of the ghastly pain of a migrane, but it is no longer followed by the pain. The wierd visual effects pass within about twenty minutes.
There is a lot of evidence suggesting that many headaches, and not just migranes, are a common symptom of high blood pressure, so the first thing many doctors will do is evaluate the headache sufferer for hypertension. Unfortunately, that is not the cause in every case, so causes have to be determined on an individual basis. Worst of all, sometimes it is not possible to pinpoint and therefore treat the exact cause - and there may be more than one factor leading to headache - so the only thing that can be done is symptomatic relief. It's a pain in the butt as well as in the head, no? Good luck!

Try decapitation. I hear they are available for low cost in Baghdad at the moment.

Another effective means is to use natural apple cider vinegar . Equal parts of natural apple cider vinegar and water should be placed in a small pan on the stove, allowing it to boil slowly. When the fumes begin to rise from the pan, lean your head over it until the fumes are comfortably strong. Inhale for approximately 50 to 80 breaths. This generally alleviates the headache considerably, if not entirely.

Moisten your fingertips with Pure Almond Carrier Oil then add two drops of Lavender Essential Oil. In a circular motion, gently massage your temples, the hollows at the sides of your eyes, behind your ears, and over your neck.
