Will it ever get better?
There are good days. Days when I wake up without the pressure behind my eyes, the dull throbbing at my temples, the creeping tension down my neck. On those mornings, I hold my breath, hoping, praying, that maybe this time, the pain won’t return. But it always does.
- I’ve tried migraine medications💊—only side effects, no relief.
- I’ve tried the chiropractor—nope.
- I’ve tried antidepressants—got worse. (stopped them)
- I’ve tried essential oils—almost threw up from the intense smells.
- I’ve tried walking, losing 50 pounds—still have them.
- I’ve tried birth control—nothing.
- I've tried working on my gut health—Nothing
- I make sure I'm hydrated—Nothing
- I’ve tried ibuprofen and Tylenol together—nope.
- I’m gluten-free now for stomach issues—still have headaches.
- Diet adjustments—Still have them.
- I’ve tried yoga, meditation, stretching—still have them.
- I've taken allergy pills (Claritin, Zyrtec, Flonase)—Nope.
- Supplements (Magnesium, oil of oregano with black seed oil, iron, etc.)
One medication that actually "works" for a few hours is Fioricet. But of course I don't want to take that every four hours for the rest of my life....
Through every attempt, every hopeful moment, the headaches remain. And the worst part? It’s not just the pain—it’s the way it drains me, wears me down, makes it hard to function. Some days, I push through because I have to, because my family needs me, because life doesn’t stop for pain.

But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. The mental weight of chronic headaches is just as heavy as the physical one. The frustration, the helplessness, the exhaustion, it all builds up.
I don’t want to give up. But honestly?
Some days, I’m just tired.
So here I am, still searching. Still hoping. And if you’ve felt this way, if you’re stuck in the same endless cycle, maybe this post is for you, or maybe you have some advice?
Any help would be appreciated!
