Re: Painkillers cause Headaches.
Funny thing is that I used to get headaches when I was much younger but these days rarely suffer from them and on the rare occasion I do they are usually sinus related so sinus tablets relieve them better than painkillers.However I do take a lot of strong painkillers after few back operations and the comment about the body becoming immune to their effect is quite true.

I only have one cup of tea a day, I only drink water the rest of the day.By the way hubby says that 'Imigran 50' he took for his migraine was very effective, it cleared within two and a half hours of taking one tablet. You can only get it on prescription though.

Re: Painkillers cause Headaches.
I'd heard about that, and if you take painkillers regularly, your body becomes immune to them, thence the docs have to switch some of my meds around occasionally to stop them ceasing to function properly.I seldom get headaches but when I do I find smoking a menthol cigarette helps, I'm not sure if it would with everybody though and it isn't worth starting smoking to find out, but if you already smoke then it is worth a try. works for me.
