If you're suffering a migraine or a "cluster headache", then it's linked to overactive seratonins causing blood to flow faster than it should through the brain. The arteries lose control of the ability to constrict. Think of it like your computer overclocked and running hot.

That's also why anti-inflammitory drugs like paracetamol don't work very well on these kinds of headaches, there's very little inflammation to correct. I go and get these tablets from the pharmacy called Imigran that directly interact with the receptors that control artery constriction, they don't just ease the headache.. they utterly destroy it. Expensive and you only get two in a box but fuck me they rock.

Maybe not what you have but hey.. the more you know.

It's not a migraine. It doesn't really hurt when I'm staying still, but if I change positions I have to stop until the pain is gone.

Dunno... but you can get paracetamol from the pharmacy without a prescription in France with codeine added.
