For many years, I'd suffered from severe, excruciating headaches. Finally a doctor prescribed what I should have gotten long ago:

Gabapentin - up to 1800mg per day
...it's the generic of neurontin.

Second best was becoming aware of the below:

(1) computer-use is a huge culprit, especially big bright ones

(2) cold/dehydrating environment can trigger headaches

(3) anti-nausea diets, including soda-crackers and tea with honey can help buffer against headaches

(4) lowfat-lysine diets are a good buffer as well, with emphasis on avoiding sodium/citrus/spices and high-arginine foods

But items 1-4 above, is mainly if you can't get prescribed Gabapentin, since the latter avoids the need for 1-4.

Gabapentin also helps thicken the mucus membranes, which thus acts as a buffer, and also avoids sinus issues and irritable bowel.

P.S. I've also found that White Tiger Balm (which is an intense form of VapoRub) - rubbed on temples, provides some relief, as do coolpaks by 3M & so forth.
P.P.S. JINS moisturizing glasses might be a solution, as well as the G-Midifier (for small rooms), as well as wet tea bags on closed eyelids such as oolong tea or lipton. Or alternating between warm & cold washcloths on eyes. Whichever feels most soothing.
