HEAD page 42 — headache often is caused by nighttime teeth grinding, which results in a sore jaw as well as a dull ache inside and around the ear. Other headaches are caused by tumors, infections or other, possibly fatal conditions. "People need validation that their headaches are real." Ellen Blau The National Headache Foun- dation stresses that sufferers should consult a physician. Over- the-counter "cures," such as as- pirin, can worsen one's condition, the Foundation asserts. The best treatment frequently comprises a spectrum of prescriptions — everything from drugs like nardil, to diet modification, to a change in bra type (some bras put stress on women's shoulders and neck). Locally, Ms. Blau is working with Providence Hospital to es- tablish the headache support group, which will teach metro Detroiters more about the "in- visible condition." The first meet- ing will be held May 23, 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the Fisher Auditorium at Providence. The forum is free and open to the public. "A lot of headache sufferers think they have tried everything, but they haven't," Ms. Blau said. "I want people to know that they don't have to suffer every day of their lives." For more information about the support group, call 1-800-372- 7742 or (810) 647-0614. ❑ Dalai Lama Visits Hadassah Hospital Begin with a tempting menu, add a dash of conversation and a healthy serving of friendship.
