Has anyone experienced chronic headaches after having a baby? I have been suffering with chronic headache for 2.5 years now and Im on medication but it doesn’t seem to be working very well anymore. I just want to figure out the root cause because my hormones are normal and thyroid is normal irons and everything else is normal. I can’t figure it out :(

Do you know how many sessions she needed before it worked? I had one session done and felt no different but it also was just costly so I could t keep going

Are they migraines? I’ve had a lot of success with Topamax daily.

I think it’s worth another conversation with your neuro, but encourage it to be broader than topamax. There are 4 main classes of migraine prophylactics (anti-epileptics like topamax, beta blockers, antidepressants like nortriptyline, and cpgrs). People often cycle through to find the right fit, and it’s not unusual for them to stop working over time. Everyone also experiences a different side effect profile, and honestly topamax in particular has relatively low tolerability in a greater portion of people.

Have you ever tried a chiropractor or massage therapist?

I’m sorry to hear! I was having headaches for a few months and that worked for me. Nothing else to offer but good luck!!

Just took a positive pregnancy test this morning!! I can’t focus on work!! I got off the pill in March and figured it would take us a little while to get pregnant. I missed my period last week so took a pregnancy test yesterday (oh the irony) and it was positive! Part of me didn’t believe it so I bought a test from a diff brand, took it this AM, and it was positive again. I’m half terrified and half want to shout from the rooftops!! (It’s our first.) So posting here bc I can’t tell anyone yet!!!

Hi all,
New to the area and I’m looking for good dentist recommendations who doesn’t have excessive prices.

They also wanted us to pay upfront before any procedure is done. That seems very sketchy to us, so we’re looking to get second opinion and switch office.
TIA!
