I've had a decades worth of chonic daily headache. At present, I am on
four preventative medications which have helped lower the severity but
barely touch the over number of episode I get. For the last week and a
half, I've had a combo tension type headache and a background migraine.
What I'm taking now just dulls the pain. I may end up on a brief course
of steroids if this present bastard doesn't fell better by Mon.
