Getting Rid Of Headaches...What If Pills Aren't Working Anymore?

Headache pain (cephalalgia) ranges from mild to severe and can be short term (acute) or long term (chronic). When talking about your pain, it’s important to know how to describe it so that your doctor gets a clear picture of your experience. Be sure to describe your pain in terms of time (duration) and intensity/severity. You and the doctor need to be on the same page so communication is of the utmost importance.
