Funny, i started to start a thread just like this 2 weeks ago. I had gone 2-3 months with a daily headache. Now, i'd been hit by ticks 5 times this summer. The worst one was back in may, when i had to go get antibiotics. Headaches started in late july or august. I shrugged them off as allergy/stress/fatigue, but began to get concerned about lyme/rmsf. On 10/8, the headache was so bad i contemplated going to the er...called and got appt with dr. Diagnosed with "cluster headaches", no lyme or rmsf thankfully. Prescribed a pain med and muscle relaxers, as mine would start in my neck and push upwards. He told me it would take a while to break the "cycle". It did, i've been headache free for 3 days now...thank you Lord. I say all that to say...don't put off going to doc if your's persists more than a couple days. I thought i was being tough...turns out i was just being stupid.  I have suffered with cluster headaches since my mid teens and I almost 40 now. Suffer does not even begin to describe a true cluster headache. They also known as "suicide headaches." I just went through a "cluster" about 2 months ago and it was the worst one I've ever had. The Imitrex injections work well for me. The Neurologist I saw also put me on a low dose blood pressure med which is acts as a preventative during the cycle. However the headaches are not related to BP at all and it's just coincidence that this med works for cluster headaches. Cluster headache sufferers are a rare breed as only about 0.4% of people have true cluster headaches. I feel for you and am glad you are through with the cycle.

I've suffered them most of my life and the week the tornadoes hit Tuscaloosa I was diagnosed with Celiac disease which means I have to be gluten free. I now only have migraines if I get "glutened". It's a tough lifestyle but I am medication free after taking 3 meds for 24 years. Being truly gluten free means I even have to ask all restaurants how they cook their foods and make sure they understand what it means. I have a few restaurants I trust and stick with them.
