Suggest Remedy For Constant Migraines And Headaches With No Help From Emmetrex

yes, i suffer from migraines for headaches for most of my life. i have had a continuous headache in my eyes, temple and top of my head for the last 4 days... could this possibly be a headache? i have taken the migraine medication emmetrex and it has not helped at all, however, i have taken this medication for years and perhaps my body is immune. Do you think that Maltx may work and if so does HAP hmo cover this med?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having constant migraine headache. The treatment in the acute episode is by using analgesic and antiinflammatory drugs like ibuprofen.
The recurrent attacks can be prevented by using drugs like flunarizine or by using beta blockers.
Since the drug you are taking is not helping you I advice you to consult your doctor for prescription of the above drugs.

Thank you
