How To Heal Chronic Headache In A 76 Years Old Female?

I am a 76 years old women and have had constant headaches for the last 26 years. I ve had two MRIs and have had numerous procedures done ( too long to list) to no avail. I ve been to Lahey clinic in Boston, have been hospitalized for a week along with other patients with the same problem, tried different medications, had Botox injections. Any answers to my problem?

I dont know ehther you have tried amitriptyline and duloxetine tablets as they are good treatment options for somatoform disorder. The other drug which is also effective is opipromol which is useful for such illnesses.
