i am 16 years old and i have had headaches since i was about 9. i have one almos every single day and it is very rare for me not to have one. my doctor has told me to take 800 MG of Ibuprofen every 6 hours until my headache goes away. this works after i repeat taking it about 4 times. and i take it so much tht my body isnt really respinding to it anymore. and besies im tired of taking the kind of medican that can give you stomach bleeding and upsets ur stomach. i do eat but most of the time wen i do take it i am not hungry, but i have to eat so i dnt get an upset stomach, even thou eating wen im not hungry makes my stomach upset anyways.
my doctor has also put me on Imitrex, and i only get 6 tablets of tht for every 3 months. andi can only take it twice a month. so i hae to be careful of which headache i chose to take it for.
other than giving me medicane to keep me frm coming back into the doctors office, those doctors dont give me any other soltion.
i got a CT Scan back wen i was 10 or so, and it came out saying tht i ddnt having anything wrong, and they couldnt do anything to help me. and now they wont et me get another one... idk y, but i belive i need another one. i belive that there is something going wrong with me.
but becasue of my age the doctors dont really listen to me.
they just keep telling me that im ok, and im normal, that every teenager has headaches just like me.
i have missed so much skool over my headaches, im on the verge of failing my sophmore year in high school.
i wish there is something else i can do
any meds anyone has to reccomend, or something i could tell my doctor or ask my doctor..
plz... does anyone have anything???
help me plz =[

Use "Flying Tiger Balm". It does sting but it is EXTREMELY effective. I suffer from migranes and am prone to headaces, so using this product has made my life so much easier- seriously, it's a life saver.

ReplyDeleteit would depend on the type of headaches youre having and how frequently you are getting them. if they are migraines and occuring often you could ask them if a medication that might help prevent them such as Topamax, certain antidepressants, or propranolol would be appropriate for you, but those drugs are going to have more side effects than the ibuprofen and you would have to take them daily. and also lots of doctors are hesistant to start someone your age on long term meds for something like this if they dont have to.
