I understand his pain, I'm 26y female and have had migraines for 10 years. My first one lasted absolutely NONSTOP for 3 months. In and out of the ER, trying numerous meds. Neuro's can't find a cause. They just blame it on hereditary. Without medication I'll have 3 to 4 migraines a week.The only relief I've found, is Topamax as a preventative, 150mlg a day. Now I have maybe 2 migraines a month. Good luck. Here is a great resource site for migrainers http://www.migraines.org/

I feel your pain, literally. I am a 35 y.o female who gets migraines once a month for the past 10 years. I have been told it's because my estrogen level drops too low. But noone has ever been able to tell me what to do so my estrogen levels don't drop. My nephew also gets them and he is 9. He gets them more often than I do. He's had them since he was about 6. It seems he gets his when he is playing extra hard, like sports. The dr.s haven't been able to tell us what that cause is either. Good luck!

Headache is a pain in the head, scalp or neck. Headaches can be
caused by minor problems like eyestrain, lack of coffee or more
serious reasons like head injury, brain tumors, encephalitis and
meningitis. Taking painkillers continuously can have harmful side
effects, so it is better to modify your lifestyle. More information
