Go to a dr asap. That should have been your first measure.

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.
Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.
The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).
For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

go to the doctor... if nothing is touching it they need to look into it further. You could have also built up some sort of an immunity to those medications if you have been taking them too often. I know that back in high school I would get horrible headaches every day and finally aspirin didn't work at all...and Tylenol was starting to lose it's benefits. Finally I was put on amitriptyline and it helped a bit and I was able to take Tylenol again too. But please go to your doctor, okay? The best advice on here is no substitute for your doctor.

You have to see your Neurologist sometimes the pills you are using will cause the headache to get worse.
