I too had severe headaches, together with terrible back and neck pain - all supposedly due to hormones.

Panadol didn't help at all - in fact it made me feel really groggy and dopey, to the point where I often had to sleep it off. So I won't take panadol anymore.

I found that regular physio treatments and massage helped massively and I wore a soft neck brace/collar occassionally during the day, and right through the night, to give my neck some support. The hormone just made my muscles too weak.

Now at 18 weeks, the pain and headaches are lessoning - thank god!!
