Re: [RC] headaches - Zephyr Arabians--- Nancy <nancy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I have found a over the counter combo that works well and is much less expensive than Imitrex, Pepcid and Excedrin Migraine. Works wonders if taken when the pain starts. Caffeine is one of the ingredients in Excedrin. That's apparently why it works for many headaches. :) FWIW, I'm yet another person with upper back, shoulder and neck pain and mild scoliosis -- I had forgotten all about it until I had a cubicle job and between that and stress I started wrenching my shoulder around and I'm now visibly crooked; chiro & stretching (and now getting out of the cubicle) improved the pain, but the crookedness seems to be sticking around (really irritates dressage instructors). I also suffer from headaches on occation. When they start they'll often become daily for a while, then go away completely for long periods. Riding has NEVER aggrivated my back or my head. In fact, I went to one 50 with a seriously tweaked back (had been having back/shoulder spasms all that week) and after sleeping on the rock hard futon mattress in my gooseneck and then riding all day my back felt better than it had in a week. :) ~Nicole (playing catch-up on over 1000 emails in my inbox...)
