Husband Is Having Daily Headaches As A Result Of His PV. Is Effecting His Quality Of Life.
A myMPNteam Member asked a question 💭

Most mornings husband wakes up to a strong headache. Tries to knock it out with tylenol but that hasn't been doing the trick lately. How does everyone else handle or treat their headaches and have you found a trigger such as a food that makes your headache
more frequent or severe? Has anyone tried CBD pills for their pain? thank you

When I was first diagnosed I had horrible headaches. Then, after a few phlebotomies and starting on low dose aspirin and Hydrocyurea, my headaches completely stopped. I can only tell you what stopped my headaches. Blessings to you.

My headaches are caused by not getting enough oxygen when I sleep. My Oncologist sent me for a sleep test and I have sleep apnea. Having oxygen at night has helped with the headaches.

Yes my doctor put me on oxygen at night too because my O2 was dropping severely low at night which caused the massive headaches first thing in the morning. But now they've come back but not as widespread, but more shooting pain at my left temple

Magnesium Oxide 400 mg, Riboflavin (B-2) 400 mg every day for severe migraines. Helps. Have less frequently. Naproxen 800 for break through headaches. I don’t take Naproxen often at all. And honestly- I’ve been using it for my joint pains instead of headaches.
