Jackson, M.D., Director of UCSD's Headache Clinic, gives an update on diagnosis and treatment of headaches in women.

i wish i had a doctor that was so thorough!

I went to my doctor and told her about my headaches...

and she just shrugged because there could be several reasons why i get migraines and that it would be hard for her to figure out.

Great, "thanks".

She just told me to take asprin.. they dont help, they only just take the edge off.. but they usually come back.

I'm only 25, but have been getting headaches since puberty... with my period.

Maybe that's what you're going through LiPgLoSsGaLz.

I'm so lucky to have Dr. Jackson as my physician. She was able to diagnose the source of my headache which has bothered me for years. Her caring and concern is far above others. Thank you very much!
