I suffer from chronic headaches that very rarely have relief - only from very strong painkillers that I, unfortunately, can't take often.

About chronic migraines: A chronic migraine is a distinct and relatively recently defined sub-type of Chronic Daily Headache. The International Headache Society defines a chronic migraine as more than fifteen headache days per month over a three-month period of which more than eight are migrainous, in the absence of medication overuse. An episodic migraine is the other migraine sub-type, which is defined as less than 15 headache days per month. It is estimated that this condition affects fewer than 1 percent of the population, but this still means that there over 610,000 chronic migraine sufferers in the UK. Due to the nature and length of time that the sufferer is affected, people with chronic migraine experience significantly more time absent from work, school, leisure, housework and social activities than episodic migraine patients. Efficiency is also reduced due to a chronic migraine, resulting in a more than 50% reduction in productivity from work or school. This is often described as a migraine ‘hangover’ by sufferers.
