headaches- Virus?

[Linda in Calif.]

I don't know how long you have been experiencing your headaches or what area of the country you live in but here in Southern Calif. there is a really nasty virus going around that has a migraine-like headache. This isn't a run-of-the-mill virus, this sucker lasts for 4 to 6 weeks. You will feel OK for a day or two and then the headache comes back. Ibuprofin only dulls the pain. I would really be worried about my headache if half the people I know weren't in the same boat. My daughter went to Urgent Care this last weekend because her head hurt her so bad and the place was filled with other people with migraine headaches. Just wanted to let you know that perhaps it could be viral.
Take Care, Linda
