    He is right about the awful treatments available. I have been in and out of different treatments for over 20 years. The side effects are worth mentioning: sleep up to 16 hours a day, over 12 kilos weight gain, unable to make myself a cup of tea, or even to use the toilette without help. Life? Career? What life? What career? You are left as a vegetable. Do you feel pain, no, not really, but you can’t even get out of bed, you don’t feel anything as you can hardly speak. I decided to take opiates and try to have a life as best as I could. Spent almost 20 years been treated as a drug addicted because I have chronic pain. It’s a condition that destroys your life, doesn’t kill you but it destroys your existence. They don’t come as cruel as this one. A lot more needs to be done.

    Hi all, I’m disturbed that it is very difficult to find any reference to treatment other than drugs. There are patients who respond to manual therapy of the neck that on examination will reproduce symptoms of headache and with sustained hold will have the symptoms abate. This can have a progressive effect. Sometimes not complete, but often considerable benefit. The research from Dean Watson PhD shows brainstem sensitivity links in headache/migraine sufferers and when that link is demonstrated, cervical afferent based treatment can help. Look up the Watson method. I worked with Dean, this works, not every time, but it can help a lot of people and cessation of treatment is reached within 4-5 sessions if no effect.
