Really need some reassurance

[Phoenixess]

I once had chronic daily headaches for 6 months. My doctor tried me on several migraine medications, one of which made everything in my body numb except for the head pain. He finally sent me for a sinus and brain CT scan and to an ENT for evaluation believing it was sinus related. The CT came back clear and the ENT came up with no problems on his inspection. As I side point, I also remember immediately after the scan looking at a tech who had a worried look on her face but clearly it was nothing.

The headaches finally went away around when a friend suggested I try Excedrin here in the US. I don't know if it was the Excedrin or just accepting the scan results but they went away. I never had an explanation for them.

What is excedrin?

A lot of all my fears and triggers come from emergency situations and past traumas

Aha ok, makes sense.

It's acetominophen with caffeine and sometimes includes aspirin. Apparently in the UK this combination is called Anadin Extra. It's the only thing I take for headaches now and a friend of mine with migraines said she uses it for her issues, too.

I cannot take caffiene but thank you for the tip
