I've got a friend who says she suffers from headaches all the time, and pretty much has as long as she can remember. Whenever one comes on she just pops pain killers, which to me seems like she's treating the symptoms rather than the problem.
I know it's kind of a vague question to ask, but what do you guys think could cause reoccurring headaches? She says the doctors have tried looking for allergies, making her record her diet and what was eaten around the time an ache came on etc, but to no avail. I've know many of you have valuable, interesting, left field approaches to health and medicine, so I'm hoping we might be able to stumble across something helpful that she or the doctors may not have otherwise considered.
