I am a dentist in georgia and the symptoms you describe can be from many things. Many of my patients are clenchers and grinders of their teeth and have the same scenario. There is an appliance that stops most of the headaches called and nti. I have had great success making the quality of life return for these individuals. There is a website that discusses the various symptoms. Go to nti-tss.Com. They can tell you a local dentist as well that will help you. I have also been reading about the use of magnesium to reduce or eliminate headaches. Many people have a reduction in ionized magnesium during headaces and migraines. I personally take magnesium 400mg a day to prevent headaches. Go to www.Relieve-migraine-headache.Com

Where can you buy magnesium? I tried many stores and even health food stores and can not find it.

You can buy it at walmart in the vitamin section.

You can find magnesium at kroger and many other pharmacies. I take it in a combination form with zinc and calcium. You need at least 150mg per day.

I have been suffering daily headaches since 1997. I thought it was because of a mylogram I had done before my spinal fusion surgery.

I have been taking fioricet for it for many years. I am going to try the magnesium and see if it helps. :)

Just the other day, someone told me that obese people may have freuent headaches. I wanna know is this true?
Is obesity in any way related to headaches?

Hello hugger
i too have suffered from headaches of varying degree everyday for the past 18 years (im 25 now). Most of the time it isnt too bad and I have learned to ignore the pain.. Only when it becomes bad enough that I cant concentrate on anything but my headache do I take anything.
I havent tried anything beyond otc pain relief and i've built a bit of immunity to some (it takes about 3 or 4 extra strength pills to dim down, not take away, a bad headache).
I have been to a neurologist and he told me it wasnt anything physically wrong, but chemically and only suggested expensive pain pills for migraines which I find useless since my migraines usually are the result of a bad headache gone real bad and I cant just take them at the onset of it like others might. It just goes from bad to worse, where does it cross the line?
I've been to allergist in case it may be something im eating im reacting to and it aparently isnt.
I find that the otc and regular massages to relieve tmj and jaw clenching and to relax the muscles in my head/neck/back help some. My stomach isnt the greatest after taking meds for so many years, but I havent found anything else that works.
Just know your not alone and my thoughts go out to you...I know how you feel. *hugz*

You are certainly not alone. I have had daily headaches for as long as I can remember. I'm 41 now and they started when I was a teenager. I've had all the typical test but nothing has ever shown to be the cause. I was diagnosed with tmj (out of line jows) and had that corrected but it didn't stop the headaches. The only thing I have found that makes a difference at all is taking 400 mg daily of vitamin b6. It has been most effective on my migraines. I normally had at least two very bad migraines a month in addition to the daily headaches. Since I started taking the b6 about 4 years ago I have only had about 6 real migraines. You have my sympathy because only a person who suffers from daily headaches can understand. I either wake up with one or it start about 1 to 3 hours after I get up.

Join the club!Im 21 and ive had a headache every day for 2years!Doctors dont seem bothered,instead I get put on a low dose of anti depressant thingys!! They worked a treat, but I finsihed taking them and im back to square one again!

Don't rule out tmj as a cause of constant headaches. Tmj can cause migrane like pain. I know I have been there and am still there after 4.5 years. I take all the meds mentioned above and a fairly strong pain med also sleep with a c-pap machine and a night guard (bite plate). I am to the point I can manage day to day. It has however changed my life. Tmj is not life threatening but is life changing as there are no cures. I hope the best for all of you daily sufferers.

Have you thought about going to a chiropractor?
