Headaches

My daughter has inherited the "headache gene" from me, as has my youngest son. Actually, it seems to be a sort of combination of my family history of migraines and wife's family history of allergies. I hope the neurologist can be of help to her; it can be quite discouraging to get frequent headaches, not to mention painful. For many years I had severe migraines about once a week. It usually started in early afternoon and by the time I got home from work I had to go straight to bed and sleep through the night. I'm now able to control them with medication, so the last three or four years have been much better.
