@steve92 At this point, it sounds like she has tried everything. The Noran Clinic in Mpls has a Headache Clinic, but I would think the providers in Chicago are top notch. Does she take tylenol or ibuprofen every day? I stopped doing that because of rebound headaches from too much OTC meds. But she probably knows that already. I save the OTC meds for the really bad headaches (rated 6 or greater on 1-10 pain scale). I use gentle chiropractic adjustments for my neck, massage therapy, and essential oils (5 drops of peppermint, lemon, lavender, and frankincense oils in a base of coconut oil) along the scalp line. Unfortunately I have had more problems with headaches this winter, which culminated in the thunderclap headache a couple weeks ago. So I'm still trying to figure this out too.
