Kristin - I suffer from pretty bad headaches myself. I get them about once a week. As far as medication, the Advil liquigels knocks them right out. I also find that stretching works very well since most of them stem from tension. I also thought mine had to do with my eyes but I'm finding more and more that stretching helps. I don't know if it's because my body tenses when I get headaches or if I get headaches because my body is tense.
