Headaches and Medications
Why are long term medications bad?
Because medications have side effects!! And, as the source of the headaches is not being treated, just the symptoms, the pain or dysfunction tends to get worse as time passes. So, more medication/different medications are needed for different symptoms that are "coming out" or as the level of the symptoms are increasing. You can see the ever increasing cascade of problems that are happening due to treatment of symptoms vs treating the cause of the problem.
