QUESTION:

Hi, my name is Carol and I am at the end of my rope.  I have a pain specialist and without him I could not work.  But the pain is constant, I am having to take so much medicine it is staggering.  I am getting worse. My dad has these too, I have had them since age 5. Would there be a benefit for me to try a gluten free diet? Please help.
Carol



REPLY:
Dear Carol: I assume you mean headache pains are being severe, along with a family history. You sound like you might benefit from a better prophylaxis or suppressive therapy for your headaches. Often, intense patterns of headache or migraine might need the attention of a headache specialist in your area. Good luck, John Claude Krusz
