Question:
I have had a history of these headaches coming from the neck. I have been to a chiro and now take fish oils and msm. I sit at a desk all day and dont get slot of sleep with my little one. I usually get this inflammation at the base of my skull and my traps get all tight especially with any change in weather or stress. Nobody seems to have an answer for this so I was wondering If anyone of you get these types of headaches. My father and brother get them as well and when it creeps up to the sides of my head its really painful. I usually put an Ice pack on it, take some advil or excedrin and take a hot shower but I was looking to be more proactive. Any ideas?

Answer:
My doctor recently gave me a prescription for Baclofen to take before bedtime, to relax the tension in my neck as that compounds any migraines I have, or triggers them. So far not sure how much it helps, but I sure can sleep when I take it. You might check on that.
