   <p>Laurie, I&#39;m so sorry to hear you&#39;re suffering so. The description of a cap that keeps tightening sounds like a tension headache which sometimes can include light sensitivity etc. They can also frequently trigger Migraine in those people who are susceptible to them.

   <p>I feel your pain... I had a continual headache between migraine attacks since August, the doctor put me on topomax which worked fantastic until she then took me off of because of the side affects. She says, let&#39;s try amitrypaline (sp?) and see if that works. No, it&#39;s not working.... I had a major attack right at the switch and now everyday the vice around my head gets tighter and each of the attacks are more severe. I am so exhausted from dealing with this pain everyday and desperate for some relief.</p>
