I have a killer headache. I have no medicine or a way of getting to the store to get medicine. So, I’m up for suggestions. Thanks!

I took some advil but they didn’t seem to help at all. What are some cures for this besides relaxing?

Headache treatment

Most headaches are caused by muscle spasms in the back of the head and neck. The spasm can be sparked by emotional stress or by holding the head in a fixed position for long hours. At times the pain can be extremely severe and feels as if the head is in a vise-like band.

Relaxing tight muscles through massage, hot showers and heating pads or cold packs, including biofeedback and muscle-relaxation training may prove to be helpful.

A number of Dentists are now offering Neuromuscular Dentistry, which is a special branch of Dentistry focusing on the nerves, muscles, and the correct positioning of the jaw. Neuromuscular dentistry will help treat TMJ disorder, which causes long lasting and frequent headaches. TMJ syndrome occurs when the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) that connects the upper and lower jaw is misaligned or stressed. This interference in the structure of the teeth causes the muscles to position the joints out of their sockets and forces the upper and lower teeth to fit together, causing the pain. Other common causes of TMJ are rheumatoid arthritis, airway obstruction, injuries, including whiplash and dislocation or displacement of the disk that is situated in between the socket and the jawbone.

TMJ disorder is a fairly new area of Neuromuscular Dentistry, though with ongoing advances in Neuromuscular Dentistry, there are a number of treatments for headaches caused by TMJ syndrome that will remove the symptoms permanently. Common symptoms of tmj include, headaches or migraine, clicking of the jaw, limited jaw motions, grinding or clenching of the teeth and ear pain or congestion. Treatment of TMJ vary from simple interventions such as application of cold and hot packs on the affected area, trigger point therapy, diet modification, posture correction and relaxation of the temporomandibular joints.

i also have some back pain, vericose veins in one leg, some weight gain, etc.
i decided to do some reasearch on hormone imbalance and found that many women become estrogen dominant as we age. which is the reason we females experience a host of problems even as early as in our late twenties. so i found that a progesterone cream is the best remedy to combat many of the negative symtoms that we experience as a result of aging.

has anyone tried this progesterone cream? and do you agree that such a treatment does work?,

Most Americans suffering from migraine headache attacks have been praying for a cure for years. Sometimes it begins to take hold as an inexplicable drowsiness, fever and slight temple tension. Before the afflicted realizes, they’re in bed with nausea and numbness, unable to do anything other than pop a few pain relievers and wait for the incapacitating pain to subside.

Recent research suggests that most people who get migraines more than once a week, for weeks at a time and are taking over the counter medicines actually increase the risk of the headache’s imminent return. Instead, cold washcloths, exercise, herbal supplements and more natural remedies may be the cure.
