Chronic Migraine

Migraine headaches is very easy cause someone to lose daily function as well as enjoyment of life. Preventing and treating migraine headaches, however, can be done effectively with a wide range of both over the counter and prescription drugs. The exact causes of migraine headaches remain unknown to the medical community, but it is widely held that serotonin levels in the brain play a significant role in the formation of migraine headaches. Low serotonin levels can frequently lead to a migraine headache episode.

Common migraine headaches are a more prolonged variation of the problem, and can last for long periods of time. This can be seriously debilitating, and can make daily functioning difficult. Luckily, there are many medications out there that can both reduce pain and help to prevent the onset of migraines.

How Do You Relax
Recently I was in the waiting room at my physical therapist's office, reading The Relaxation Response, by Herbert Benson, M.D. The receptionist asked me about the book and I told her how Dr. Benson discovered that our nervous systems need both some stress, building the tone of the nervous system, and some relaxation, allowing the nervous system to rest and recover. She looked at me blankly and said, "Well everybody knows that

Even though today everyone may know that relaxation, and even meditation, are good for us, I don't agree that everyone knows how to relax, or what relaxation is neurologically. Most of us don't consciously relax very often. Relaxation can occur in sleep (but not always), in meditation or visualization, in enjoyable conversation with a friend or loved one, in exercise or sexual activity (but not always), in reading or listening to music (but not always). Gentle, repetitive activity that keeps the body busy but allows the mind to disengage.

Tension Headache
The medical model of headache and migraine recognizances two conditions - migraine and tension-type headache. Recently the International Headache Society introduced a third 'group' of headaches; this group comprises Cluster Headache, Chronic Paroxysmal Hemicrania, SUNCT, and Hemicrania Continua

Appropriate and up-to-date knowledge is self-empowering; I believe that every headache sufferer has the right to know their headache diagnosis as precisely as possible (and what it means), to know the nature of their headache disorder, its outcome and possible types of treatment.
