Hi Everyone

I have terrible headaches and Migraines every day for the past 2-3 years! Please could someone suggest a doctor in Pretoria or medicine that has helped them from personal experience. Its really getting bad now and I cant do anything.

I was looking at TheHeadacheClinic but from what I have red they charge u a lot and then only try to sell u a mouthpiece, which ppl have said is not helping them..

Thanks
 
Forget about the mouthpiece. I would suggest a electric drill. You can get it at any hardware store.

There is too much pressure inside your skull. Drill a hole in it. Not a big one, just a little one. You will get immediate results.
 
Hmmm... had the same problem. Drank 2 Mybulens and it miraculously worked. Went to the optometrist and it turns out I needed glasses for working on my PC. Severe headaches caused by strain on eyes from working on PC :( Good Luck. Nothing worse than a headache that makes you wanne throw up.
 
Random question: have you had your Wisdom teeth removed? I had a mate who had really bad headaches for ages!!! and then a doc suggested he have his wisdoms taken out and it solve his issue. no more headaches. just a thought
 
Many many possible causes for headaches.
Food related, blood sugar related, muscle tension, spinal alignment/problems, teeth grinding, sinus/hayfever, sleep issues, brain tumour, injury related, eyestrain, allergy...
You need to figure out the cause first.

Thank u, yes I had them removed when i was still in school.
 
Go get tested for food allergies, could be something that you are allergic to that is causing these headaches.
 
Is it really a migraine? Do you have severe nausea and vomiting, visual disturbances, prodrome and postdrome symptoms?

Well, not everything everyday: scrambled eggs, chicken, beef steak, occasional pork chop, sweet potato, salad, low GI white bread - toast, pasta, tea.. I cant really think now!

A few weeks back after a blood test they said i cant have any sucrose, so im avoiding any sugars, I only use fructose.
 
Hey Willemdev

I am sorry to hear about your migraines. Is it possible that you are allergic/sensitive to gluten? Looking at what you eat there are a lot of carbs in there (potato, low GI white bread, toast, pasta etc.) Why don't you cut back on your carb intake for a couple days and see if it makes any difference.

Good luck man
 
I feel your pain! My issue causing headaches and severe nausea was 3 fold, but all related

1) crooked septum (bone in the middle of nose) putting pressure on nerve
2) Nose disease (infection in sinus)
3) polyp formed in nasal cavity

The crooked septum (probably) lead to the other two.

My symptoms were getting unbearable, every day after lunch productivity came to a halt. Went to my GP and then an ENT specialist.
underwent 45 min op, sorted out all, 1 week of recovery. Feel a millions times better.

This could be what's affecting you

Fructose is even higher GI than sucrose...
Stay away from pasta. Beware of fruit.
 
I'm also headache/migraine prone, Ive just been to an ENT and he sent me for a scan of my sinuses and said I may need an op to relieve pressure around my middle turbinate, he told me that when it swells due to allergies or irritations it touches something in my nose and causes headaches if the swelling doesn't recede, he said for the mean time if I get a headache I must take Otrovin with Menthol (a decongestant nose spray), if you've got a stuffy nose on a regular basis maby try the same thing
 
Have you been in a car accident or taken a fall.

It could be that there is something wrong with spinal alignment etc.

My headaches were caused by this.

I would recommend a good chiropractor or ortho manipulator.

If you are in the Pretoria area, I can recommend someone really good who is also charges contracted-in medical aid rates.
