I've had the same headache for almost four days now, with NO relief. I've tried everything (medication). Nothing helps. Sleep doesn't help, eating doesn't help. It's not a migraine...don't think I've ever really had one of those, this one feels like there is a knife in my left eye, going all the way to the back of my head. It's hurts! And I'm tired of it!

Any other suggestions??

Puppy, there are many reasons for head aches. Do you have a sinus infection? Sinus pressure can make a serious headache occur.

Have you tried taking analgesia (pain medicine), applying ice to your head where it hurts and lying in a dark room with no noise (such as TV)?

If it is really bad, I'd speak to your doctor (I know you can't afford a lot right now, and many doctors will take payment for services rendered....I've done that often) about the cause. He/she may even be able to give you medicine more effective.

Have you been taking a lot of caffeine? Sometimes headaches occur because of too much caffeine.

Headaches

Have you been eating a lot of chocolate? I had a headache for 5 days after eating a lot of chocolate.

Yikes, yes....I've been eating a ton of chocolate and lots of caffiene too...even for me.

I'll lay off the caffiene and chocolate for awhile and try the ice in a dark room.

Thanks for your replies and the link.

Puppyblues, when I quit drinking coffee and tea, meaning all caffeine, I had terrible headaches for two weeks, and suddenly, all headaches disappeared. But since you have them now, I'm just telling you what happened to me after I quit coffee.
