I have tried headache meds and it don't work. what helps me the most is locating what triggered me into dissocating which is the reason behind the headache. by taking care of the trigger I am also taking care of the headache because if I take care of that trigger it no longer causes me to dissociate and I no longer get the headache. Since I know my headache is just from my body switching from present levels of function (heart rate breathing, chemicals and so on) to the stored memories of the levels contained in the memories for me its just a matter of taking the time for my body to regulate itself . doing a relaxation exercise gives me something to do while my body regulates itself. Those that I do takes anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour to do depending on which tape or exercise I do. By the time Im done with that my body has regulated itself back to the present and the headache is gone.

Those that don't have DID or those that do but don't recognize the difference think about something that you did just a few moments ago that made you happy sad, mad whatever it doesn't matter. pay attention to how you are feeling after just a few seconds of thinking about that situation. You will find you are no longer feeling like you were before thinking about the situation but are feeling like you did when you were previously in the situation. Your breathing, heart rate and so on are those of when you really experienced the situation even though you are just thinking about it. Then it takes you a few minutes to return back to how you felt before thinking about the situation. This is what happens with DID only on a more extreme level instead of the body remembering an experience a few moments ago its jumping to years ago. The more extreme change the more painful headache.
