Have you been tested for sleep apnea? And if you have it do you use a CPAP? My sister would get a couple of headaches a week until she got diagnosed and started using one. Thinking of her I'm reminded that when she would visit her boyfriend in the city she would get headaches from the air pollution alone.

I do neck stretches and lie down on the floor for a few minutes with a rolled up towel under just my neck. In my case my head hurts because my neck is pinched. An ice pack to the temples helps too. However I think this is one of those cases of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. If you start tracking things like foods, sleep, and stress levels you might be able to find and eliminate the cause.

Have you tired talking with your surgeon about getting a reduced rate or offering financing? Chances are good they might be able to help. After all they have a reputation to protect too.

What has helped me the most with my menstrual pain is going on norethindrone. It's a progestin only birth control pill. It tends to have less negative side effects like weight gain but isn't as effective at preventing pregnancy than the regular pill. If you can tolerate them there are also hormonal IUDs that use progestin only.
