Do I Just Accept It?
I've had headaches all my life. As I've gotten older, over the past 10 years, they've increased for various reasons.
Treatment options
I now get fragrance and chemical headaches as well as environmental allergy headaches. Nothing seems to work, even Botox only helps one of the headaches. The migraine shots only break me out and most OTCs make my head hurt.
Trouble exercising with migraine
I've had several tests done and have taken different preventative meds. Most importantly, I can't exercise because I get a bad headache afterward. I even wake up almost daily with a headache that goes away once I get out of bed...then I get a different headache.
