Headaches? Your Doctor Can Help You More Than You Think

I wasn't in excruciating pain, so I didn't think they were bad enough that a doctor would help me. It was just enough pain to make me feel miserable. I decided to mention them to my doctor, thinking he would tell me to just live with them.

I created this blog to help others realize they don't have to just live with daily headaches. There are treatments that can help you get your life back.
