OK.

Perhaps.

Perhaps I also didn't properly express myself in my own post. My
apologies if this is the case.

My *fundamental* concern here is that the *underlying cause* of these
repeated headaches does not seem to have been determined. I happen to
think that this is vitally important. I would always, especially in a
medical situation, endeavour to establish the *cause* rather than
overcome the ensuing *symptoms* with the use of drugs, however benign.

I think that's the way Doctor's are supposed to make their living, I
would have thought that it makes eminent sense.

Christian

PS Thanks JoeL, you read what I was *trying* to say correctly. :-)
