Headaches? Your Doctor Can Help You More Than You Think

I used to have a lot of headaches. I started drinking more water and tried all types of home remedies, and I still kept getting the headaches.

I decided to mention them to my doctor, thinking he would tell me to just live with them.

I created this blog to help others realize they don't have to just live with daily headaches. There are treatments that can help you get your life back.
