I've had chronic tension headaches for years. I've never really brought it up on PC because it always just seemed like a nuisance I had to live with. But it's starting to affect my schoolwork, my moods, and my behavior. I'll go a length of time where they don't occur so often - like maybe once a week - and then I'll enter a sort of phase where I'll get one every day or most days. I know they're due to stress. I've been in therapy for over two years and still the pain persists.

In freshmen year of high school, my health teacher told us about the biofeedback therapy she received as a teenager to treat her near-daily headaches - ones just like mine. Since then I've been interested in biofeedback. I've heard it works very well for this sort of thing. Has anyone tried it? It's probably expensive but seems like something that insurance might cover.

I think what would help more than anything is learning to handle stress better. But in the interim between now and when I get around to it in therapy, this looks like a promising treatment.

Thanks for any advice!
