i dont recall if this has been brought up in the recent past. i get headaches often, and usually once one shows up, its in my head for a few days in a row. i understand my gastro MD has told me its a symptom of IBS.usually i have to take excedrin migraine formula and it will get rid of the mini-migraine for a day, but this time its not working. i'm on day #2. i hate having headaches - even my eyes hurt. i went to see a prospective new primary care doctor for this problem and she prescribed to me something "comparable in side effects to advil". when i looked it up in the pdr, it turns out to have an ingredient from the barbituate family. no thanks! last night while i was trying to sleep however, i was considering calling the doctor for a prescription. anyone else get these relentless headaches? -jj
