I'm not suseptable to migraines, only periodic headaches. Interestingly I found many Scorpios I know get them.

Have you found anything suitable as yet?

Anyway - I agree with Randall on the Omega 3 supplements. Also drinking lots of water - as with most things eh?

Recently, I've had a really bad throbbing pain the the right side of my brain. I say brain as opposed to head since it does seem to be right inside.

I've had this before whilst under a lot of strain and the doctor called it a cluster headache which comes and goes - not much to be worried about.

However it's back and I am worried about it, only because I wouldn't want medicene to bring it up 15 years down the line as something that had to be nipped in the bud, you know?

It's a dull, throbbing, when I move my head it hurts behind my right eye. I am slightly short sighted in my right eye - could it be that, or something to do with mobile phone use? It's not there all the time, just comes and goes - not everyday either. My head feels 'dizzier' that's all. Perhaps it's constant PC use too.

Anyway, here's an interesting story if you want to get "far-out" for a little bit...

The man I received my Reiki attunements from, Tim Allingham, is a wonderful psychic/medium/healer. (In case you're unfamiliar with Reiki, it's universal healing energy.)

Anyway, Tim was telling us a story one time about a client of his that had horrible headaches right behind his eye. Tim kept trying to heal the man, but the migraines kept coming back. Finally Tim had the idea that it might be an injury from a past life that the man was holding on to. (Sometimes when you have a really traumatic event in a past life, you bring it with you to future lives.) Anyway, Tim suggested that the man go to a past life regression/releasement therapist. Well, the man did. He returned to Tim and told him that he didn't mention a thing about the migraines to the therpist prior to the sessions. Finally the therpist told the man the he saw the man being shot in the eye in his previous life, but he lived through it. In his previous life he had constant migraines there until he finally died. Well, the therpist helped to release the past life and Tim said the guy is doing great and migraine free.

Like I said, that might seem a little "far-out" for some, but after some of the things that I've seen in my life, I think it's a pretty cool story.

Ok, my point for the story, lol, was that you might have had a trauma in a past life. Also most physical ailments and dis-eases are caused from either mental, emotional or spiritual problems. See if there's a pattern to when you have the headaches. If not, it could be sinuses, vision problems or like you said, too much PC!

Hope this helps.

Thank you - I do believe in past lives, I'll take that on board - I still would love to be regressed, I find it all so interesting. I'd like to partake in Reiki healing, haven't got round to it.. there's always some other priority to pay for first you know?

Oh yeah sorry I'm a Sag, I just mentioned Scorps in the ones that I know related to headaches

And you're a Scorp so it must be your birthday around now? I'll post it in Free-For-All

I guess the main thing you need to do is listen to your body. See if it's telling you that you need some sort of supplement (like if you're craving a certian type of food a lot, i.e. red meat, nuts, beans = protein - aenemia can give really bad headaches) or if you just "feel" that a certain vitamin might help.

At this point she's been getting them almost every day, excedrin seems to be the only thing that cuts them off at the pass!!! Have gotten her to a chiropractor, which seemed to help at first, (he says the whole problem is in her neck) but unfortunately the last 2 visits only seemed to make things worse.
Also, she was receptive to seeing an acupuncturist, she mostly talks about posture and possibly hormones. That too, seemed to help for a while...

The frustrating thing about all this is she can go for weeks without any for no apparent reason they come back. So it's hard to know what's working, what the triggers are... All seems so totally random!

Now her grandmother and the people at school are saying she needs to see a neurologist and get an MCI, all this makes me really nervous, serious brain stuff... I just have such a distrust of the medical est. to make matters worse we have to search for an MD! (wish insurance would recognize alternative medicine!!! Pet peeve - )

I knew in my heart it wasn't that... but whenever I get around doctors seems all my good instincts go out the window and I'm bowing to the great-know-all MD pie-in-the-sky god!!! Plus the great worrier in me loves to run the "what if?" scenario around in my mind.....

well at least now we can shut up the people at school and gram-in-law...(doctors all in their own right! ) just hope the test in itself wasn't harmful (had to go twice due to an imcomplete picture! ugh)

Delerious - I read about ur daughter. One thing I wanted to mention was my b/f mother has suffered from these all her life. She has been to every doctor for everything they can think of thats possibly triggering/causeing these headaches. She was looking at finally going outta state to seek better professional help when her and I got to talking. We thought maybe before heading outta state consult a spiritual healer. SHe did. She ended up going to a Shaman Lady. This lady found karmic stuff to be the root of her problems. (neat thing with that was when she was younger she had a past life regression done and migraines came up in her past) This lady ended up doing some work on her and its been almost 1 mo and no headache of any sort. When she used to have them daily and if not a headache a "band of tightness" as she calls it around her head. - so it may be something she may want to look into. They're relatively inexpensive.
