When I was first diagnosed I was put on medication to help me sleep and help with the headaches. It worked straight away and I hhave been sleeping like a baby since. Now I have had a headache for the past five days, my doctor says there is nothing wrong with me and prety much said it is something I am going to have to deal with, so what do you do to relieve your headaches? I have tried everything I can think of but nothing helps my fibro headaches, suggestions would be welcomed with open arms!

    I don't have fibro headaches....I have not  had a headache in about 19 yrs as long as I've taken grape seed extract a powerful antioxidant....

    And allergies and sinus issues are history....first to go when I started on this antioxidant in 1995....check it out....I've talked about it till I'm blue in the face so to speak....  Joy 76 US

      I can see any of the several doctors in my local surgery. The one I saw the other night said he didn't want to give me anything because I am already on a lot of medication, he didn't even think of lowering a dose/changing it. He is not my usual doctor, so I might go see the doctor who actually diagnosed me and see what he says. After all, I did only recently have my dose put up so you could be right about my medication causing my headaches. 

      Thanks for the help smile

      So many medications are probably not doing you much good, more harm most likely.    J
