All of a sudden I get these nasty frontal headaches on a day to day basis.

Anyone ever dealt with these?

Posted by momintexas (Member # 23391) on :

My son used to have these terribly. Whenever a front would roll in or it was extremely humid, they would get severe.

Curcumin helped him a great deal. We also used Enhansa, but now looking back at it - I think he got just as much relief with just curcumin/tumeric.

I would go and buy tumeric as the spice at Whole Foods and put it in capsules.

I was really surprised at how well it worked.

I hope you find relief soon - I know they are awful.

I get sinus headaches, mostly (frontal). Here's a good site on daily frontal headaches>

Wow, curcumin (never would have guessed it)! How much does he take?

Posted by desertwind (Member # 25256) on :

Me too! The absolute WORST! Allergy meds certainly help.

Mucinex has become my best friend lately.

I was thinking Bartonella but LLMD thought Babs/Lyme related. Not sure that I 100% agree cuz I thought frontal headaches were more Bartonella? Then again....who really knows and who am I to disagree with a LLMD?

The headaches come on for me after eating - I think certain foods may trigger them.

I also think Bart etc. *shrugs*

Are you GF and Dairy free?

I've heard red dyes can trigger headaches too?

Catgirl - I'd have to look next time I'm at the store to see how big the capsules were. I'd just stuff as much as I could get in them.

The Dr said it was fine since it's a spice and that he uses it in his food daily.

Posted by canefan17 (Member # 22149) on :

Yes I avoid those. I have a super sensitive system though and these days it seems like anything I eat will trigger these flare ups. Very frustrating.

Consider fungal sinusitis...

For my daughter, it was micro parasites from our contaminated well water. Albenza for 2 weeks got rid of them. Might be worth a try.

Razzle,
That's actually what I'm leaning towards. Can it also cause nausea, and tremors?
I used to think Bart - now I'm under the impression it could be candida - who knows.

Terv,
Which abxs do you take?
I'm on flagyl, plaquenil, zithro,

tick & everyone else,
Thanks

Mine are currently caused from bartonella. They went away for a week but are back, although not as often. Treatment got rid of them before so I expect them to go away when this bart is gone.

I am only taking half the drugs right now so I can sleep well at night. When the headaches went away I was taking the full dose. I need to try to get back up to the full amount without bringing back the insomnia.

Imetrex knocks them out immediately, IF I take one as soon as I feel it coming on.
