Like yours, they are very often completely debilitating. Aleve works really well for me, but I hate having to take drugs. Sleep is good, but that's time consuming. The best tactic is to figure out what triggers the headache and never let them come into being. It's taken me about 15 very painful years to understand how it is that I get headaches.

I too get some slight headaches from dehydration, but obviously that has a simple fix. <em>Drink more water!</em> Man, I'd love to go diving sometime. Perhaps we'll hook up sometime and take a dive.

Eventually narrowed it down to a combination of not drinking enough water before the dive and holding my breath underwater. Doesn't happen that often now I try and correct for this.

The worst headaches I have are at the end of a scuba dive, sometimes. it comes upon me when I'm out of the water, and I just need to drink lots of water and lie down with my eyes closed for about an hour and it goes away. Take it easy. I feel for you Colin,
