I suffer from the same type of headace just on the right side of my head. The cycle I'm going through now has lasted for over two months. I've seen all types of doctor, been to the ER and am still suffering. I was recently sent to a pain clinic and in January I am to recieve nerve block shots in my head. I wrap a heating pad around my head, take 2 benedryl, and if I have neasua get some dramamine (which you can now get at dollar general for cheap) and I also try a bath as hot as I can stand and just lay down in it.
I hope she gets some relief.
