I suffer from awful chronic headaches. Some days I just want to drill a hole in
my head to release it all.

I am 30 years old, happily married for 7 years to Wade, who is 28. We are
the parents of two boys, ages 5-1/2 and our newborn, born on Christmas Eve.

I have had migraines since childhood as I remember but was not actually
diagnosed until about age 18 or so. The migraines are controllable. It is
this chronic/daily/tension/garbage/aching in my head that will NOT go away
that I cannot stand. It has gotten worse in the last two years since we
were trying to get pregnant and I stopped taking birth control pills. Do I
really have to live in chronic daily pain? It makes me miserable and
depressed and I am blamed to be a "drug seeker" That's the last thing that
I want to be labeled. I just want pain relief. But, how do I get rid of his
pain? I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke cigarettes and never have. I have
never seen an illegal drug. I guess I am a pretty innocent person! Please
help, any suggestions would be much appreciated. I have tried alternatives
routes also (herbs, massage therapy, aromatherapy, chiropractic) to no avail.
These headaches make me very crabby and irritable. They come and go in
severity but never ever go totally away. One neurologist I saw thought I
was having rebound HA's from Excedrin so I stopped that in September and
that did not help.

Any suggestions?
